The TORQ Wedge elevates your heel 10–20° to improve squat mechanics, allowing deeper range of motion and greater quad stimulus, without adding weight.
Built from high-density EPP foam with a non-slip surface and magnetic stacking, it’s designed for stable, heavy training.
Better mechanics. Better reps. Better results.
The TORQ Wedge is designed to improve squat mechanics, stability, and training stimulus—so every rep works harder without adding unnecessary load.
- 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.
- Magnetic Stack System – Secure magnets allow wedges to align and stack quickly.
- Non-Slip Surface – Textured rubber keeps your foot locked in place during heavy lifts.
- Full Foot Support – Wide platform maintains stability and prevents power loss.
- High-Density Rubber Construction – Built to withstand heavy commercial gym use.
- Versatile Training Tool – Ideal for squats, hack squats, belt squats, and leg presses.
- Improved Force Transfer – Better alignment ensures more of your effort goes into the target muscles.
The TORQ Wedge includes standard 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 to ensure a secure fit.
- Designed for thicker machine footplates
- Provides additional clearance for secure mounting
- Maintains wedge stability during heavy training
- Compatible with machines where standard hooks may not fit
If your machine has a thicker-than-average footplate, the XL U-Hook option ensures the TORQ Wedge remains securely mounted and stable throughout your workout.
The TORQ Wedge is built for stability, durability, and heavy training environments, using high-quality materials designed to withstand repeated use under load.
- High-Density EPP foam Compound – Provides a stable, durable base that resists compression under heavy weight.
- Textured Non-Slip Surface – Ensures secure foot grip during squats and machine exercises.
- Integrated Magnetic System – Strong internal magnets keep stacked wedges aligned and secure.
- Reinforced Internal Structure – Maintains shape and stability even under high loads.
- Gym-Grade Construction – Designed to perform reliably in commercial gym environments.

Frequently Asked
Questions
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.
Our warranty is 3 years for all TORQ products.
