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.

The Cork Squat Wedge features a grippy tape on top to ensure your feet stay in place.
You would use the squat wedge to put your feet into plantar flexion (toes down). This can help improve squatting range of motion if your ankles are a limiting factor in the movement.
Yes! You can use the wedges to stretch your calves to improve your ankle mobility, as well as propping your feet up to help stretch your hamstrings.
You can do multiple squat variations, calf raises, toe elevated RDLs, heel elevated single leg squats, and more.
Squat wedges elevate your heels to allow for deeper squats and better quad, glute, and hamstring activation. They also help reduce strain on the lower back and knees by promoting a more upright torso during squats.
After each use, wipe your squat wedge with a damp cloth to remove sweat and surface dirt. For a deeper clean, mix a solution of mild soap (or a natural cleaner like diluted white vinegar) with water. Dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the surface of the block. Avoid soaking. Allow the block to air-dry completely before storing or using it again. Keep it in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to preserve its integrity and natural properties.
