- Set up a short step platform slightly in front of a racked barbell.
- Attach bands to each end of the bar and to the band pegs at the base of the rack.
- Start with both your feet on the step and place the bar in a high bar position on your back. (Make sure the box is positioned so that it affords you clearance of the rack when the barbell is on top of your shoulders.)
- Alternate legs in a reverse lunge pattern and explode through the top of every rep.
- Maintain a neutral pelvis position throughout.
