Slant Boards and Squat Wedges

A slant board or squat wedge raises your heels or toes on an angle. With heels up, you can squat more upright and sit deeper. With toes up, you get a calf stretch, and a steel slant board is also used for calf raises.

For squats there is the EVA heel ramp, a 3 piece adjustable squat wedge and heavy duty steel platforms at 10° or 20°. The 20° platform also comes 48cm wide and 66cm wide for a wider stance. The commercial squat platform wedge suits gym floors.

For calves, look at the LivePro calf stretching slant board, the steel slant board and the calf raise steel platform. More small kit is under strength training accessories.
