We usually use mainly quads on low steps (like stairs) as we are just looking to straighten the leg.
So bridges and the like will help get your butt activating and in better working order, which would help.

Good point! Hadn't thought of that. I always thought my quads were strong (relative to the rest of me) but I bet my glutes are weak, I don't focus on them much. I'll add in some bridges or something of the kind on my next workout.
One thing I also noticed and was a little confused about is my weight distribution. If I don't use my non-working leg, how does my weight go forward? I know I'm not supposed to lean forward much. Are there any good videos of someone NOT using their non-working leg? I've only seen ones of people cheating
