I've been struggling with this too. I remembered something from my Idaho fire trip last summer climbing those mountains, when you take a really high step and your back leg can't help at all cause you can't get leverage on it that extended, then you learn the feeling of a concentrated hard single leg step. Before you take it you kinda stop and have to think on it a sec 'cause you just know it's all gonna be on one leg (and ya really don't wanna fall!). So I'll try to do a few of those BW just to 'remember' the feeling, that might help with the cheating on the lower steps with weight.
I don't know if I made any sense there or not LOL.
I like the backwards idea too, I'll give that a try.
