Height for Cathe's hover squats on the high step?

Since I've preordered the 14" high step , I'm wondering if that height would also be good for those hover squats in I think MIS? I've done so many different Cathe strength vids in the past 2 weeks that I can't remember which vid had these in. They have all meshed LOL.

I'm wondering because if I need a higher height for those particular squats I want to go ahead and order them to come with the high step. I'm 5'2" if that'll help.

Thanks in advance:)
 
I'm having a hard time remembering where the hover squats are too. Is it maybe PS Legs?

Anyway, I am taller than Cathe (5'7"), as well as have very long legs, and I find that 14 inches is way too short for me on those hover squats. When I sit down onto the 14 inch step, my knees are pointing up. In other words, I am at less than a 45 degree angle, and that is really tough on the knees when you are raising and lowering yourself through the squat.

I put one more riser on my high step than she does, to bring it to 16 inches. I think it depends on how long your legs are, but at 5'2" you shouldn't have any problem with 14 inches.
 
That is what I love about the High Step idea! The ability to make it different heights. I am short as well but sometimes I think it needs to be higher for certain moves as well. Not to mention that you can add the risers to the regular step to make it more bench height, therefore easier to get up and down from, like in PUB. It just seems so much more practical, and I am thinking of all kinds of ways to modify......tick tock tick tock.....when will it be here?!:)
