The Poliquin Step-up is one of the best exercises we know of to help get your knees healthy and stable.

We typically prescribe the Poliquin Step-up after months of exposure to the Patrick Step-up.

What is the difference between the Patrick Step Up and Poliquin Step Up?

The difference is simple: a Patrick Step Up is on a flat box, and a Poliquin Step Up is performed with your heels elevated.
As a result, the Patrick Step Up works your ankle mobility and your soleus - both KEY for Achilles and long-term knee protection - while the Poliquin Step Up does not.

HOWEVER: the Poliquin Step Up forces even HARDER contraction of your VMO, and the Poliquin Step Up has quite a magical effect for handling long-term knee tendon problems due to how it overloads the fully extended position, meaning: in a Patrick Step Up your VMO is pretty much resting at the top, whereas in a Poliquin Step Up it is still working at the top!

Due to the intensity of the Polquin Step Up, we found it unsafe to jump beginners into without first having that same degree of strength attained in the Patrick Step Up. But once a given degree of strength in the Patrick Step Up is present, not only is it safe to match that strength in the Poliquin Step Up: your knees will feel AMAZING from doing it!
