It depends on which gym I'm using*. I'm either using an aerobic step with five risers or a bench, but both are about mid-shin. I'll definitely try a higher step next time.
* I belong to a chain gym, but can also use the gym on the campus where I work. I prefer the latter for weights because it's much less crowded, but they aren't open on Saturday mornings so I go to the chain for weights one day a week. This presents a challenge I didn't expect - the cable machines do NOT feel the same. At all. I've had to adjust my weight accordingly. I can row 75lbs on one but only 60 on the other. Isn't that weird? You wouldn't think there'd be a difference like that for similar cable machines.
