What is a squat wedge?

A squat wedge is a raised platform that elevates the heels during squatting exercises. By raising the heels, the wedge can change the position of the feet and ankles during a squat, which may make it easier for some users to maintain a more upright torso and reach their desired squat depth. It can be particularly useful for people who find that limited ankle mobility affects their squat position.


Use it for standing calf raises

The raised platform provides a stable surface for standing calf raises, allowing the heels to move through a greater range of motion than when standing flat on the floor.

A simple calf raise involves: Place the forefoot securely on the wedge. Keep your balance and maintain a controlled position. Lower your heels toward the floor. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels. Pause briefly at the top. Lower under control.

You can use bodyweight or, where appropriate, hold dumbbells or another suitable resistance.


Why use a heel wedge for squats?

Elevating the heels can change the mechanics of a squat by allowing the knees to travel further forward while reducing the amount of ankle dorsiflexion required to maintain a particular squat position.

For some lifters, this can make it easier to: Maintain a more upright torso, Reach greater squat depth, Keep the heels firmly planted, Find a more comfortable squat position.
