Our 20° Slant Board enhances leg strength by improving flexibility and increasing tension on the muscles. The elevated position allows for a deeper range of motion, helping you activate and strengthen your quads, glutes, and calves more effectively. Whether you're squatting, stretching, or rehabbing, the slant board optimizes your movement for better performance and results.
According to the latest research, higher heel elevations can help reduce the risk of lower back injury by promoting a more upright posture under load. This reduces forward lean during squats, decreasing strain on the lower back while allowing for better quad and glute activation. By improving your squat mechanics, a heel elevation can help you train more safely and effectively.
Our 20° Slant Board is built from high-density material and can support up to 1,000 lbs. It is designed to accommodate a hip- or shoulder-width stance, providing a stable platform for various exercises.
- Dimensions: 14” long x 24” wide x 4.5” tall
- Angle: 20°
- Material: High-density, heavy-duty construction for durability and stability

3. What does elevating the heel do?
Elevating the heels shifts your center of mass backward, giving your knees more room to move forward. This allows for a deeper squat, better targeting the thighs and glutes compared to a partial range of motion squat. If you struggle to keep your heels down while squatting, using a wedge can help you develop better awareness of your heel position. The direct contact with the ground enhances balance and provides essential sensory feedback, helping your body perform the squat more efficiently.
4. What does elevating the forefoot do?
Elevating the forefoot shifts your center of mass forward, creating more space for your hips and knees to pull backward. This can help prevent excessive forward knee movement in exercises like Romanian deadlifts and hip thrusts. Additionally, raising the toes extends them, which improves ankle mobility and enhances calf training by allowing a greater stretch at the bottom of movements like standing or seated calf raises. This deeper range of motion can lead to better muscle activation and development..
5. Can't I just use plates?
While weight plates can elevate your heels, they don’t shift your center of mass backward as SquatWedgiez do. Instead, they put more pressure on your forefoot, which isn’t ideal for proper squat mechanics. The goal of a heel-elevated squat is to create space for your knees to move forward while keeping your weight balanced. Additionally, you’d need to stack three five-pound plates to match the elevation of SquatWedgiez, which creates gaps between your feet and the ground. This setup decreases balance and reduces the sensory feedback your feet and ankles need to function optimally.
