Your heels lift, you lose balance.
Squat Deeper,
Knee Pain-Free.
The Wedge V2 elevates your heels for better knee tracking and deeper, more stable squats — so your quads take the load instead of your joints taking the hit.
Heel elevation for better knee tracking and deeper squats — quads take the load, not your joints.
Works on the machines you already use.
Flat-Footed Squats
Punish Your Knees
Depth stops short, quads miss out.
Your knees cave under the load.
Every rep grinds your lower back.
The problem were never your legs.
It was the base.
The Difference Is the
Angle Under Your Heels
The Wedge V2 elevates your heels 10–20°, putting the load on your quads, not your joints.
Depth Without the Strain
Elevating your heels opens up your ankles, so you drop into a deeper squat while your torso stays upright.
Deeper squat depth
Better knee tracking
Less lower-back stress
Load That Hits the Quad
With the right angle, the tension shifts straight onto your quads and effective load climbs — no extra plates needed.
Squats sink deeper into the quad
Leg press moves through fuller range
Hack squats load without knee pain
Calf raises hit a deeper stretch

Frequently Asked Questions
By elevating your heels 10–20°, the Wedge lets your knees track forward naturally and helps you reach depth without your knees caving or your lower back taking over. The load stays on your quads instead of grinding your joints — most lifters feel a smoother, more controlled squat from the first set.
It's the opposite. The angle shifts tension straight onto your quads and can raise effective load by up to 1.8× without adding a single plate — so you get more stimulus, not less. It's the exact reason heel-elevated squats are a staple for serious quad development.
No. The top surface is finished with upgraded anti-slip grip tape and the plates lock together with a magnetic stack system, so your base stays planted and stable — even under heavy load and hard drives out of the hole.
It works on the setups you already use — free-standing squats, hack squat, leg press, smith machine and more — and the platform fits a wide range of foot sizes and stance widths. If you can stand on it, you can train on it.
Stop Squatting Through Knee Pain
Your quads deserve to take the full load of every rep — not split it with your knees and lower back.
