Overview

This squat wedge is a black slant board weighing about 1.5 pounds, designed to elevate the heels during squats and other weightlifting movements.

Heel elevation changes the angle of a squat, letting lifters with limited ankle mobility sit deeper without the heels lifting off the floor. A dedicated wedge block is a more stable alternative to stacking plates under the heels for the same effect.

  • Weighs 1.5 pounds
  • Black finish
  • Heel elevation design
  • Built for squats

Who it's for

Useful for lifters working on squat depth or dealing with ankle mobility limits, and for coaches cueing form in a home or commercial gym. Not needed by lifters who already squat flat footed to full depth.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Purpose built for heel elevation
  • Lightweight and easy to store
  • More stable than stacking plates
What to check first
  • Dimensions and incline angle not specified

Performance notes

Elevating the heels shifts the shin angle forward, which reduces how much ankle dorsiflexion a squat demands and can let a lifter reach a deeper position while staying stable. Being a purpose built wedge rather than stacked plates, it should sit flatter and more securely under the heels.
