YESSSSSSSS!!! Congratulations

I ditto the suggestion to try a higher step. Try a weights bench, or something between the 10" step and a weights bench - you'll probably have to go with lighter weights, but the greater range of motion (ROM) will make a huge difference. It'll help you improve on your lunges & squats (and vice versa). I hate step-ups for how they feel but love them for what they do. <3
