UKIA Large Slant Board Squat Wedge - Heel Elevated Squat Platform for Weightlifting & Mobility Improvement

My PT has a similar block that he has me use for stretching. This works as well as his. No complaints. The foam is light and slightly bowed but it is dense enough that my weight doesn't affect it (180). I can slide a bit on hardwood but I don't do any dynamic exercises with it so that hasn't been an issue for me.

This review is for the UKIA Squat Wedge Block - Large Slant Board Squat Wedge for Heel Elevated Squat - Weightlifting Squat Platform Improve Mobility and Strength Performance.I saw this item and instantly had an unconventional use for it LOL. Recently I went to go from the kitchen into the garage, which has been turned into my she cave/office as I work completely from home doing customer service/sales for a very large company.I am physically handicapped and I have a very large service dog, many may already know this stuff from some of my other reviews. I have stepped out there too many times to count and it's only like a 3 or 4 inch step down. But this time I stepped and it was like my left leg did not even exist. I tried to get my cane and right foot out to catch myself to no avail and I fell very hard.So I saw this item and instantly thought hmmm wonder if that would work out there for a small sloped step up/down? It is the perfect width being 27 inches wide so can be centered on the door opening well, it's 10 inches deep and 2.7 inches high! So I now have a better sloped step down/up and hopefully won't fall again because it hurt a lot!This is a nice firm pad. It has a fluted/ridged top for traction. This would work great for its' intended purpose for weight lifting, but it is great for my purpose too. This would also work great for a wheel chair as a bridge for small change in height between rooms or going in/out of a house... You would probably need to attach 2 of them together to completely span a wider door and the width of the wheel chair.This was delivered nicely wrapped in plastic, I appreciated it was clean/dry despite our crazy weather!I think this is a good value VS the regular price of $39.97 per the listing, it's on sale right now for 35.97 and there is a $12 coupon for it right now!As always I only do honest reviews of items I get and will update if needed. I hope this helps you make the best choices how to spend your $.

This is another one of those products I kept passing by until finally trying and thought "why in the world didn't I go with this earlier!?!"UKIA put together a solid squat block. Lightweight but dense! I weight 205 lbs and can feel this squat wedge give slightly under my own body weight testing it out doing squats. The give is less than what you feel wearing a nice pair of memory foam sandals. It's honestly a very solid, supportive piece given how lightweight it is. Quite suprising!I do love the one piece design! At 3" tall with a 10" by 27" base, this squat wedge provides a large platform to do your exercises on without having to readjust like you would if they were separate individual foot wedges. I like that! I can do narrow squats, then immediately adjust to wide or heels in/toes out squatting positions without moving the wedge block at all!Only downside is a 50/50 feeling on the felt style outer covering. Well, I'll say 60/40. Not sure exactly what the outer covering is made of, but it has that old style of felt feel to it. Positive is that it gives great traction! Both wearing shoes or choosing to go barefoot or in socks, your feet don't slip. That's a major positive!! Negative is that it picks up whatever cat/dog hairs you've got floating around the house. So I guess that makes it a vacuuming reminder partner as well ;-)All in all, this is a good piece. Lightweight, easy to use and zero smell. A win in my book!

I was a little unsure ordering this for my father, who is very fit, works out all the time has his own dojo up above the house, and is a martial arts guru. I thought, if anything it could be a nice addition to his dojo/gem. However, when he opened it on Christmas day, he had a very surprised look on his face and said, how did you know I wanted one of these!?! I shrugged as if I had known. Evidently he had been looking to buy one the day before and almost did, but got sidetracked. He was so excited and immediately it was in the dojo, and he has used it many times since. He uses it mainly to help with a specific martial arts in which he is in long-standing squat position for most of this series. I want one of these myself! They’re light and soft and also sturdy. It’s not too big so it can be transported easily. Can’t say enough about this actually it’s a very good product..

This has significantly improved my squatting routine. Its large slant design provides excellent heel elevation, allowing for a deeper and more effective squat. I've noticed a marked improvement in my mobility and strength performance since incorporating this wedge into my workouts. The durable construction ensures stability during heavy lifts, and the compact size makes it easy to store when not in use.

El plástico es más delgado de lo que imaginé, una mezcla de plástico y fomi pero resistente, aun no la uso pero a simple vista se ve práctico
