Reply With QuoteWhen you raise your leg, it should be to the point where your thigh is parallel to the ground. Just do that and measure how far off the ground your foot is. Unless you're really good a building stuff, you're better off, by that I mean "safer", if you just buy a step. I'm only 5'10", so my bench works for me.

Making a box for step-ups...

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
