SQUAT HERO cork squat wedge blocks pack of 2 — angled heel raisers for improved squat depth and stable, non-compressible support

Squat Hero Cork Squat Wedge Blocks (pack of 2) are angled cork platforms that elevate your heels to improve squat posture, balance, and range of motion during lifting and bodyweight training.

These two compact cork slant boards provide a stable, non-compressible surface for heel elevation during squats, lunges, and mobility work. Built from high-density natural cork, each block resists sinking so your foot stays planted, whether you are working with barbells, kettlebells, or just bodyweight. The pair is lightweight and portable, and a downloadable training guide is included to help you integrate the wedges into warm-ups and lifts.

How do these wedges help my squat form?

Elevating the heel shifts ankle articulation and encourages a more upright torso, which can make it easier to reach depth while maintaining neutral spine alignment. The cork material provides a firm surface that keeps your foot stable so you can focus on technique rather than shoe compression.

• Raises heel height to reduce forward lean
• Promotes deeper, safer knee tracking
• Firm cork prevents foot sinking or rolling
• Pairs well with varied footwear and barefoot training

When should I use the Squat Hero blocks during my workouts?

Use the wedges for squats, front squats, goblet squats, split squats, or any movement where improved ankle range or upright posture helps performance. They’re also useful for mobility drills, calf stretches, and accessory lifts to target quads and balance.

• Warm-up mobility and calf stretching
• Strength sets where upright torso is beneficial
• Accessory work like lunges and step-ups
• Skill practice for beginners refining squat mechanics

What makes cork a better choice than foam or rubber?

High-density cork provides a solid, consistent platform that doesn't compress under load, so foot positioning remains repeatable across sets. Cork also offers natural grip and a tactile surface that feels secure under a variety of shoe soles.

• Minimal compression keeps heel elevation consistent
• Natural grip reduces slipping without sticky coatings
• Durable for frequent gym use and portable for travel
• Eco-friendly, renewable cork material

What comes in the pack and are there instructional resources?

The product ships as a pair of matching cork wedges so you can use one under each foot for balanced elevation. SQUAT HERO includes a downloadable training guide with drills and setup recommendations to help you add the wedges to your routine safely and effectively.

• Two high-density cork slant blocks, ~11 oz each
• Downloadable Squat Hero Training Guide (access via website)
• Patent-protected design (Patent No. D1,027,081)
