Squat Wedge Elevated Squats Block: Portable Knees Over Toes Ergonomic Equipment Calf Raise Exercise Platform for Full Range of Motion Improve Strength Stability and Mobility

Yep. These do work!

Satisfactory

The media could not be loaded. I initially bought this product after experiencing some back pain for a few weeks. I wanted to see if it would help to work from a squatting position instead of sitting in a chair.It wasn’t comfortable at first, but as I used the wedges daily I was able to increase the length of time in that position. My hip flexibility improved and (along with exercise) my back pain went away.In addition, this product is great for squat and lunge variations, as well as deep lunge and calf stretches.The product is incredibly lightweight, comes in a pair (2) and doesn’t have any rubbery odor, which was nice.Due to the slanted design you can actually scale your stance based on how flexible you are.Overall, I’m very satisfied with the product based on its practicality and simple, yet sturdy design.I would definitely recommend this product to friends/clients who struggle with getting depth in their squat and want to improve their knee and hip mobility and strength.

I used these to do dumb bell lifts, dumb bell sumo squats, Romanian deadlifts, etc. The raised heal really gives the calf muscles a good burn. However, you do have to be careful and watch your step when you get off the blocks. Set you feet on the blocks first before lifting weights, you could lift the weights but at times you will loose your footing. Using these is more convenient than using bar bell plates to stand on and gives more range of motion of widening your stance rather than grabbing extra plates.

At first i thought it was too big since im size 7 but when i used it, it was good, i have more room to play and also its steady!

This is my first elevated squat block so I have no previous experience. These arrived on time. They are sturdy and don't slip on concrete. But they are on the small side for my feet. I have to almost hang my toes over the top if I'm using it to stretch my calf.

I love these squat wedges even more than the ones that I purchased directly from the ATG website. Like the ATG wedges, these wedges are also cut at 20 degrees, which is the ideal angle to perform the exercises in the ATG program designed by Ben Patrick. Both the ATG squat wedges and these particular squat wedges are both equally effective in doing the exercises. However, I prefer these squat wedges over the ATG squat wedges for 2 reasons. (1) These squat wedges are made of EPP material, instead of recycled rubber tires, and so they don't offgas and leave your room smelling like a tire shop. (2) Also, these squat wedges are much lighter than the ATG squat wedges, which makes them easier to transport when you want to take them to the gym with you. My old ATG squat wedges always smelled so bad that I had to keep them stored in the garage or outside on the patio. These particular squat wedges do not smell at all, and so I can store them in my room. I really appreciate this company making these squat wedges out of EPP instead of smelly recycled tires!

They're strong while also light to move around. They are larger than many I looked at here, which is very helpful so I don't need to worry about my feet not fitting well on it.My shoes grip perfectly, but note they are very slippery with socks or bare feet.
