Do you also have a love-hate relationship with squats? Do you find it difficult to maintain good posture and alignment? Or do you simply want to get beastly strong in the deep position of a squat? Then it's time to try squat wedges!
Squat wedges are small, tilted wedges that you place under your heels during a squat. In doing so, they raise your heels, allowing you to maintain a more upright posture. Especially if you have limited ankle mobility, this can be a real game-changer for your squats! The squat wedges help you reduce the stress on your lower back and knees, allowing you to squat more comfortably and with better posture.
But that's not all! Squat wedges can also help increase your range of motion, which can lead to better muscle activation and ultimately better results. In fact, deeper squat movements specifically train the VMO. This is the largest muscle around your knee whose function is to protect the knee. From a sports perspective, it also happens to be the most "fast-twitch" muscle of the upper legs, providing explosive power.
Why squat wedges?
- For extra mobility: train yourself in deeper positions of the squat thanks to the extra incline of the squat wedges.
- For extra flexibility: use the squat wedges to get more flexibility.
- For strength building: get explosive power in your legs. So you can jump, squat or run better than ever without injury.
- For injury recovery: help yourself heal from knee pain and knee injuries. Find your own strength again!
