Overview
REP’s Cork Squat Wedge was designed to help lifters maximize their lower body training by improving range of motion (ROM) in the knees, hips, and ankles. Limited ankle dorsiflexion (pulling toes up toward your shins) can restrict proper movement mechanics, reducing quad and glute activation and potentially limiting strength gains. This squat wedge elevates the heels to remove the need for ankle mobility, allowing for deeper squats and better quad, glute, and hamstring activation. It also helps reduce strain on the lower back and knees by promoting a more upright torso during squats.
The cork squat wedge’s grippy, nonslip surface ensures stability during lifts. Unlike metal or foam alternatives, cork offers a sturdy, eco-friendly solution without sacrificing durability or effectiveness. Plus, cork is naturally antimicrobial and resistant to moisture, promoting a clean, hygienic experience.
It can handle a weight capacity of 700lbs, yet the lightweight design (only about 2lbs) makes it easy to carry in a gym bag or store when not in use. Crafted from biodegradable cork, REP’s squat wedge block perfectly combines sustainability with functionality.
Product Highlights:

- • Grippy: The textured, nonslip surface provides reliable traction for safe, effective lifts.
