I have to ask about your step-ups. If you are using 30 lbs db's that's really heavy!
1. How tall is the step you are using?
2. Make sure you aren't using your non-working leg to assist you when getting up

I've been doing step-ups on a weight bench for a couple years now and I am a LONG way from using 30 lb DB's! I stayed at just BW for quite a while until I absolutely wasn't cheating with that back let and then slowly added weight.
