Struggling with Goblet Squats?

Struggling with Goblet Squats? Try blocking your heels!

Most of our clients run in to problems with squatting due to a limitation in ankle range of motion, specifically ankle dorsiflexion (pointing your foot towards your shin).

Using a heel wedge with those clients puts their feet in a more plantar flexed position (or feet pointed away like in sleeping) which allows them to squat through a deeper range of motion as their ankles have more “run-way” before running out of ankle dorsiflexion.
