Power Stairs

What it is

This challenging movement involves lifting implements up a series of stairs. It primarily targets your hamstrings, building explosive lower body power. You will also significantly engage your glutes, quadriceps, calves, and adductors. Your lower back, shoulders, and trapezius muscles provide crucial support throughout the lift.

Technique tips

• Grip the implement firmly with both hands.
• Keep your chest high and head neutral throughout.
• Drive through your heels to initiate the powerful lift.
• Use your legs actively to push the weight onto each step.
• Lean back slightly to aid the upward swing of the implement.
• Focus on moving as quickly and powerfully as possible.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
