A plate or two and bare feet can be enough. What height are you?
5’11"
Not that its the absolute barometer, but that should mean all things being even you don’t have to go too low. A 25 KG plate in theory should be enough, unless you have ridiculously tight hammys. Its all about a flat neutral back, all the time.
Initial engagement and set up is critical. Pulling shoulder blades together and having tension (a mini-pull) before you pull is critical.
I go about 6 inches… As kev says, you’re still getting the desired affect…if all you have is plates then lash them up on them.
Might be of interest

First gym session in three weeks there and was fairly patchy with the exercise for a good while before that. Lost 5 kilos over the summer. Back to it properly on Monday.
Football season ends tomorrow. I’m in the market for an exercise bike. A good one under €300 would be my target. What is the difference between an exercise and spinning bike? Which is better for strengthening legs and which is better for cardio?
Any recommendations guys?
Would you not get a proper bike … Does your company offer bike to work? If so you’d pick up a decent bike for around that money … Hitting the outdoors is better than cycling an exercise bike in front of your tv, pal.

Get the feeling membo suffer from NDD alright.
No. I want an exercise bike. I bought a big fuck off executive car a couple of months ago so I’m fully committed to destroying the O Zone layer.
Can you get bikes that hook up to the TV and give you an interactive , computer game type experience. Where you can cycle a stage of the tour De France or something ? If you can’t then I’m going inventing it.

This is the beauty of it. You can’t just select your bike, you have to go and buy a real compatible version of that bike (from which I’ll get a cut)

In game purchasing of PED’s would be the way to go.

Can I ask what you hope to achieve with an indoor bike?
