Are slant boards good for squats?

Yes, slant boards like the GymFit Tech Elevate Heel Blocks are exceptionally good for squats, especially for athletes with limited ankle mobility. By using these wedges to elevate the heels, you reduce the dorsiflexion demand on your ankles, allowing for a more upright torso and deeper "ass-to-grass" squat depth.

The GymFit Tech design specifically helps maintain a stable base, shifting the load onto the quadriceps and targeting the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) more effectively than flat-footed squatting.

This is crucial for hypertrophy and for "knees over toes" training protocols. While they are a powerful tool for immediate form correction, users should continue working on their natural ankle flexibility alongside using the wedges to ensure well-rounded functional mobility.
