Do I really need 3 risers for gymstyle

[erin1621]

I just got these .. Box says at least 3 risers uggh I can justify getting more risers! Suggestions?

I think you need more risers for the leg press I believe they use 5 risers. other exercises using the step use 3 risers...

IT uses the step as a bench and calls for 3 risers and not sure its necessary or not.

If you have the High Step topper, you can use the risers you already have (assuming you have 4 risers: two for each side of your long bench) for the step-ups.

I think that is mainly because the step is used as a bench throughout this series. You'll just be lower to the ground.

My make shift high step is my regular step with my kids bathroom stool on top. Its perfect for leg presses, nice and sturdy.

It depends upon how tall you are. I am 5'8" and I need 3 risers to use my step as a weight bench because otherwise my hands touch the floor and the lack of distance from the floor impedes some exercises, such as dumbbell overhead extensions for back. I also need about 6 risers for step ups. So, how tall are you?

I'm pretty short (5' in heels ) and when I do pullovers with only 2 risers on each side, my barbell hits the floor.
