I'm at intermediate level (already can do muscle ups, pistol squats,...) and I'm using strict (only slight heel touch) deep step up as my primary "heavy" leg movement (like pull ups for back). I prefer them to pistol squats since I can hardly get close to muscular failure with pistol squats since I find them to be more technical and my form usually starts breaking before getting close to failure. I also do other BW exercises and also Kettlebells.
Now I truly believe that Pull ups, Dips and Step ups are the only three moves you need to cover all your bases, especially if someone wants to get into bodyweight fitness I'd point them to work towards progressing in those 3. However, I'm not sure what's considered "good" with step ups especially compared to the other two (for balanced strength).
I'm wondering, what do you guys think should be the ratio of your working set reps for Deep Step-ups compared Pull-ups & Dips, for balanced strength. For example, if I'm doing sets of 10 for Pull-ups, how many Step-ups per set should I do for each leg? Roughly the same amount or slightly more?
All opinions are welcome!
