SMAI Rubber Squat wedges, or squat ramps are designed to improve your squatting by providing support and assistance to develop squatting technique, reduce risk of injury during training, and target specific muscle groups.

Allowing for up to 5cm heel height, the ramp can be used to progressively increase the height and angle, to help improve quad power. 

Why use a squat ramp / squat wedge in weightlifting? 

• Using a rubber squat ramp during weightlifting training can offer several benefits, particularly for squats and similar exercises.
• The ramp allows for a greater range of motion in the ankle, helping you achieve a deeper squat with better form.
• By elevating your heels, a squat ramp can help you achieve a deeper squat. This is particularly beneficial for those who struggle with achieving depth due to tight calves or poor ankle mobility.
• For individuals with knee or hip issues, a squat ramp can reduce the stress on these joints during squats. The angle of the ramp helps in distributing the load more evenly and can alleviate discomfort.
• The inclined surface of the ramp changes the mechanics of the squat slightly, placing more emphasis on the quadriceps. This can be beneficial if you're looking to target these muscles more effectively.
• By allowing for better alignment of the hips, knees, and ankles, a squat ramp can improve overall squatting technique. This is especially helpful for beginners or those working to correct form issues.
• A squat ramp isn't just for squats. It can be used for a variety of exercises to improve range of motion or target specific muscle groups, such as during lunges or calf raises.
• For those progressing in their weightlifting journey, a squat ramp can provide a safer way to increase weight while maintaining proper form, reducing the risk of injury.
