In this video I’m reviewing the squat wedges / slant boards by Double Circle Fitness.


Why Would You Need Squat Wedges?

People mainly use these slant boards for two reasons:

(1) They lack ankle dorsiflexion that prevents them from getting squat depth

(2) They want to target more of the quads when squatting


Biomechanics

When you have a lack of ankle dorsiflexion your squats will suffer.

If your shin bone can’t move forward, you won’t be able to get enough depth in your squats.

By using a slant board, you create artificial ankle dorsiflexion and it allows your shins to move forward so you can squat deeper.


More Quads Activation

Because your knees go further forward using a squat wedge, you’ll activate more of the quads muscles.

This is similar to a sissy squat where your knees go past your toes.


Individual Squat Wedges vs Fixed Width Slant Boards

Individual squat wedges allow you to change the width of your stance and also give you the option to externally rotate your hips.

With a fixed slant board you’re stuck with the width of the board.

If you try to externally rotate your hips with a fixed width board, you put more weight on the inside of your feet which causes your knee to go inward.
