What are the disadvantages of a slant board?

The main disadvantage of relying solely on a slant board is the potential to mask underlying mobility issues. If you exclusively use GymFit Tech wedges for every squat session, you may neglect the natural ankle dorsiflexion required for other movements. Additionally, the altered mechanics increase shear forces on the knee joint; while this is beneficial for strengthening the VMO, it can be taxing if volume is ramped up too quickly without adequate recovery.

Unlike fixed wooden boards, some generic foam wedges can be unstable, though GymFit Tech combats this with high-density, impact-resistant polymer. Furthermore, carrying extra gear can be a minor inconvenience, although the stackable, lightweight design of the GymFit Tech blocks makes them significantly more portable than traditional heavy metal or wooden ramps.
