Squat Wedge/Ramp Recommendations

[ArnoldHAMnEGGer]

Does anyone know of anything similar to Prime's ramps minus the price tag? I'm looking for something that's about 20 degrees. closest thing i found was on Amazon and was clearly not designed for fitness, which is fine. Problem i have found with many ramps is the angle. I would prefer something around twenty degrees and obviously sturdy enough to not move around. Thanks.



this is the closest thing i found.

I'm a big fan of the Liberator ramps.


But no, I've looked for something similar a while back and didn't find anything with a much better price tag that would work.

I've wanted something like Prime's Solo wedges but I can't stomach their prices. Right now I use 10 lb plates, they work okay but a wedge would be nicer.

I've attached a picture of door wedge that I cut out of a 2x4 with a circular saw. You could do the same but use a 2x6 or a 2x8 and cut out a wedge and add some grippy tape to the top and bottom. You could attempt it with a circular saw or something but a handsaw may be a safer option because of the angle. But I'm not too familiar with wood-working tools, maybe someone can chime in.

I had the Prime Solo's in and out of my cart so many times the sticker shock wore off, well not really but they do have a wall mount rack for them for only $35 and they were in stock, so that kinda sealed the deal.

In my search I did find some other solo wedges for half the price but they looked like they were made from recycled rubber and were not in stock either.

Just did some googling now and saw this. It's steel and doesn't look bad for the price. It looks a little short in terms of "heel to toe" length. It can be chopped in half easily to make it into solo wedges which is good.

I bought some 13" foam wedges off Amazon. They work great for squats. Really hits the vastus medialis when I use them. Costs about $22 or so. They're called yoga wedges or something similar

I used Body Solid's squat/calf block for a while. It's sturdy and non-slip but it's one block rather than solos that you can angle to match the rotation of your feet. Ultimately I went with weightlifting shoes.

I have been visiting the checkout screen for the adjustable bench for a week and a half now lol

I would just make my own or go old school.
Making something out of wood shouldn't be to hard or use a 2x4 or weight plates,it didn't hurt Arnold any and served the same purpose.
