StrongTek Large Calf Stretcher Yoga Foam Wedge Slant Board Knee Pad, Back Support, Foot-Rest Cushion for Lower Leg/Calves Strength (13 Inch) -1 Pair

Great product.

I ordered this as a way to elevate heels during the squat as I recover from a ruptured achilles. I was a bit disappointed in how soft it was, thinking it would be harder. So it doesn't feel super heavy-duty: imprints of your feet will left in the wedges because of it's softness. I also noticed that the cut of the wedges are very specific. The cuts are not symmetrical and they don't line up perfect. One is a bit taller than the other, and when you put the two together to make one long wedge, it kind of "curves" and isn't perfectly straight across. Ultimately, it does what I need it to do, so I can't really complain about that.

Bought these to get deeper squats in my home workouts. They help, but I thought it would be a firmer, more solid foam, like styrofoam. Good enough for what we use them for, unless you need something sturdier.

I bought these to work on eccentric squats for my chronic patellar tendonitis in my right knee. I’ve been suffering with it for over 2 years now and have tried just about everything, but I’ve read a lot about rehab for recovering from patellar tendinitis and these were my first choice. Been doing squats with one foot on each at about a 16 degree incline, but I’m also experimenting with them stacked on top of one another (bodyweight squats) and seem to be doing great. I will update this a few weeks from now.EDIT: WOW I would have totally forgotten about this comment if I didn't look back at this order. I think this product is amazing, and my patellar tendinitis is now 95% healed (WHICH IS MINDBLOWING because I was chronically in 5-8/10 pain ranges for 2.5 years. Been doing progressively overloaded (adding weight, now up to 45lbs per hand) concentric, isometric, and single leg slant squats -- single leg only at 15lbs per hand The only recommendation I will give is to maybe invest in some grip take to attach to the top. These blocks have held up, but at my gym I noticed they had the same wedges with griptape installed and it is so much easier to maintain stability regardless of your footwear. Honestly, the higher cost slant boards (wooden, adjustable etc) might be worth it but you can get some solid work in with these. I've even been experimenting with each wedge sitting roughly top of eachother for a 25-30~ degree incline (if you place one about 1-2" forward the slope isnt so great) and that has helped to further my progress.
