Default Step up question

I can *barely* do a step up to the level of a standard bench which is perhaps just over a foot off the ground. No where near knee high.

Of course by step up I mean doing it exactly like described in the book, where there is ZERO momentum provided by the foot on the ground. The trailing foot is literally dead weight.

So when I do this, I use body weight only. Should I keep doing it this way until I can raise the step higher, and stick with body weight?

At what point does it make sense to add dumbbells into the mix?
