The box step-up is similar in mechanics to any lunging variation. The athlete must use the strength of one leg to elevate themselves. The higher the box, the greater the demand on both strength and flexibility. Although often used as a scaled version of the box jump, the step-up can provide a challenge to even the most advanced athletes.

Do both feet need to be on top of box for rep or just hip and knee extension?

The rep is credited when:
- Both feet are on top of the box
- Hips and knees are fully extended, with head and shoulders over the hips
- Reaching extension in midair is a no rep
