TorQ Backpack B
The TORQ Wedge V2 is designed to improve squat mechanics, stability, and training stimulus, so every rep works harder without adding unnecessary load.
Training Benefits
10–20° Heel Elevation – Improves knee travel and squat depth for better quad engagement.
Increased Quad Loading – Optimized leverage creates greater muscle stimulus without adding plates.
Improved Force Transfer – Better alignment helps more of your effort go into the target muscles.
Stability & Support
Full Foot Support – Wide platform maintains stability and helps prevent power loss during heavy lower-body movements.
Improved Non-Slip Grip Surface – Updated grip tape helps keep your foot locked in place during squats, machines, and loaded training.
High-Density EPP Foam Construction – Lightweight, strong, and built for stable heavy training.
Setup
Stackable Magnetic System – Secure magnets allow wedges to align and stack quickly for 10° or 20° setups.
Upgraded Screw-In Magnets – Improved magnet construction creates a stronger, more durable stacking system.
Includes 1.5" U-Hooks – Each set comes with 1.5" U-hooks for easier setup, even on non-magnetic footplates.
Usage
Versatile Training Tool – Ideal for squats, hack squats, belt squats, leg presses, split squats, and machine work.
Machine & Rack Friendly – Built to upgrade the equipment you already train on without needing to change your entire setup.
The TORQ Wedge V2 includes standard 1.5" U-hooks designed to securely attach the wedge to non-metal footplates commonly found on squat and hack squat machines.
However, some machines, roughly 10% of gym equipment, feature unusually thick footplates that standard hooks may not fully accommodate.
For these cases, the XL U-Hook Mount provides extended clearance with a larger 2" hook opening to ensure a more secure fit.
The TORQ Wedge V2 is built for stability, durability, and heavy training environments, using upgraded materials and refined construction details designed to withstand repeated use under load.

TorQ Backpack B
More Stimulus. Less Load.
Better Outcomes.
Small mechanical changes that completely transform the rep.
10°–20° of lift improves knee travel, quad loading, and depth without stress on the lower back.
Effective load multiplies by up to 1.8× — without adding a single plate to the stack.
Full heel contact throughout the rep. No lift, no slip, no lost force.

Frequently Asked
Questions
How is the Wedge V2 different from the V1 Wedge?
It now features an improved non-slip grip surface, upgraded screw-in magnet system, premium rubber inlaid badge, updated colorways and included 1.5" U-hooks for easier setup.
In short: same purpose, better execution. More refined, more premium, and built to perform even better in heavy training environments.
What exercises can I use the TorQ wedge for?
The TorQ wedge is designed primarily for machine-based leg movements including:
- Hack Squats
- Pendulum Squats
- Leg Press
- Belt Squats
- Smith Machine Squats
- Smith Machine Split Squats
- Sissy Squats
It can also turn into a box and be used for
- Deficit RDL
- Deficit Row
- Step Ups
How is this different from standing on plates or a basic wedge?
Traditional wedges or plates:
- Slide around on machine footplates
- Don’t attach securely
- Only allow one heel height
- Often force awkward foot placement
The TorQ wedge was built specifically to solve these problems.
It features:
- Magnetic mounting to metal footplates
- Built-in U-hook system for non-magnetic plates
- Full foot platform for stability
- Adjustable heel elevation
- Modular travel design
This gives you a stable, machine-integrated wedge rather than a loose gym hack.
Will the wedge slide during my set?
No.
Once mounted, the wedge is secured with your foot pressure & high-grip silicone pads to keep the wedge stable.
How much weight can the wedge support?
The TorQ wedge system is rated for over 2,000 lbs of load.
It is built from high-density structural materials designed to withstand commercial gym environments and heavy machine loading.
Is the heel height adjustable?
Yes.
The modular design allows you to choose between:
• 10° heel elevation
• 20° heel elevation
This allows you to adjust based on the exercise or your mobility.
