How high is the object you're stepping onto??

[Cricket_Fire]

Nice workout Derek; beastly stepups

[BULK_BOY]

How high is the object you're stepping onto??

About 8". It's a small wooden lifting platform that I place in the Rack. The rack is fairly big (4' x 5') so it allows me to stay inside with the weight while I step-up onto the platform and back down. (hahah it's the ONLY way I would ever do this exercise)

Thanks for asking.

Cheers.
