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.
