The adjustable squat ramps are sturdy, easy to set up, can be easily stored and hidden away, but why would you hide them! I’ve had them a week and I already feel a difference in my legs, back, knees, and in my stride when I walk. Thank you!!

This is the 2nd set I bought myself. I left my original set at the studio where I train my clients because they were a hit. Just like every TiB Bar Guy product I’ve used prior to investing in this product you can feel the difference in quality. Solid gym equipment that won’t break down on you.

I purchased the Tib Bar Guy to level up my daily workouts, transitioning from TRX landmine stretches to something more challenging. Overall, I’m really impressed with how this equipment elevates my training. It adds a solid layer of intensity and targets my lower body in a way that feels like a natural progression for my routine. At 155-160 pounds, using just my body weight, it delivers a great workout and has become a staple in my regimen.
However, I ran into an issue when I first started using it. Right out of the box, the bar’s axle paint caused it to jam, making it tough to adjust. In an attempt to fix it, I used my thigh for leverage while pulling it apart, and unfortunately, it pinched me hard enough to tear through my leggings and cut my skin. It was a painful lesson, and I wish there had been clearer instructions or warnings included with the equipment to avoid this.
Despite this hiccup, I still enjoy the Tib Bar Guy and appreciate how it enhances my workouts. For others considering this product, I’d recommend keeping it on the ground, placing one foot on it with your body weight, and using your hands to carefully pry it apart to avoid any jamming or pinching issues. With some caution, it’s a fantastic tool to advance your training!

Great solid but to last material wedges. Grip hopefully will hold up over time. Nice zipper pouch to keep wedges secure in gym bag. One critique > would be nice if the wedges were a little longer and slightly wider for foot position. Great product overall

Just got these babies yesterday and was super excited to try them out. I love that they are two individual wedges as opposed to one big one as I like to experiment with different foot angles during my squats.
Also love the various height options. Will definitely be incorporating more heel elevated movements with my kettlebell work.
A very robust, stable and useful addition to home gym. I use it for explosive combo of squat plus one arm push with land mine; each angle adds a bit different reaction in leg muscles.
I have yet to try a single piece of equipment from The Tib Bar Guy that isn’t super high quality…these slant wedges are no exception! Light weight but heavy duty and durable. Small enough to pack in a gym bag and carry with you. Adjustable to 4 different angles. Useful for everything from squats, split squats, step up variations, and more! I would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone!
Love this product. I have the original slant board but these babies are badass. I love this because they’re adjustable so I can train at different levels of plantar flexion. I’ve been using this for single and double leg calf raises, goblet squats and even just to stretch the calfs. As a physical therapist I also use this at the clinic and clients love it. I can adjust it based off the flexibility level of my clients. Overall great product and recommend to anyone especially for a garage/home gym
Feels very sturdy and easy to use. I work from home and it’s great to walk over and get some stretching or other ATG exercises in. I wear size 10 shoes and my feet cover the entire slanted surface, so I’m unsure if it’s suitable to those with really big feet.
Okay…these slant wedges are the BEST! They are so well made, and incredibly functional with how you can adapt the height of the wedge so easily. The surface grip is phenomenal too. I absolutely love these and bring them to the gym every day! They come in handy for ATG squats, calf stretches, and so so much more.
I continue to find value in the variety and the multi-use capabilities with products from the TibBarGuy!
Being in a smaller facility, having versatile tools is key to maximizing our efficiency during training sessions, and products like these help us to stay on track with our sessions.
Quality built. Heavy and bigger than I expected. Had no problem with it sliding around, the non-skid bottom works really well and had no problems with my foot sliding on the face from the grip tape. Overall really great for adjusting the height!
Love having the ability to adjust these squat wedges to 4 different angles
The metal build feels solid
Rubber underside grips the floor to prevent slipping
The grip tape keeps my feet solidly on the ramps

I am very excited that I purchase this AND other items from Apex. Regarding the Slant Ramps, I purchased many different Slant versions from other manufacturers. The others quality are poor. The others designs are poor. The others are 1 dimensional. The Apex/Tibi Guys Slant Ramps have all you need. High quality construction materials used. You will feel the sturdiness as soon as you use it. No worries about it collapsing and/or wearing down after use. Great design and multi dimensional. From ATG squats, split squats, calf raises, sumo squats, push ups. You can do so much with this. GET IT.

I saw a video of Matt Hau from Upright Health give a review of these Slant Ramps/Squat Wedges. He showed how sturdy and non slip they are. I'm 72 years old and I've experienced pain in one knee. I asked my doctor if he thought these would be of benefit to me, he agreed they would help to strengthen my knee joints. Now I look forward to my exercises and I'm feeling better already. Thank you.

Where can I find more information about The Slant Ramps?
Check out our articles where we cover all things products, training, education, and more!
How do The Slant Ramps improve my squats?
By elevating your heels, The Slant Ramps allow for greater forward knee travel and a more upright torso position, which enhances squat depth, increases quadriceps activation, and reduces shear stress on the lower back.
Are The Slant Ramps good for knee health?
Yes! Training with The Slant Ramps helps strengthen the knees by promoting deeper knee flexion and targeting the vastus medialis oblique (VMO). This helps build stronger, more resilient knees over time.
Can beginners use The Slant Ramps?
Absolutely! Beginners can start with lower inclines and bodyweight exercises before progressing to heavier loads or steeper angles. They are a great tool for gradually improving squat depth and ankle mobility.
Can The Slant Ramps help with ankle mobility?
Yes, regular use of The Slant Ramps can help improve ankle dorsiflexion by gradually exposing your ankles to a lesser and lesser angle during squats. You can also use The Slant Ramps to stretch the calf muscles which can help improve range of motion in tight ankles.
How do The Slant Ramps compare to a regular slant board?
Traditional slant boards have a fixed angle and width. The Slant Ramps give you 4 adjustable angles and user controlled width. This makes them more versatile for progressive overload, rehab, and accommodating different exercises.
Can The Slant Ramps reduce lower back strain during squats?
Yes! By allowing greater knee travel and promoting a more upright torso, The Slant Ramps reduce shear stress on the lower back, making them great for anyone with back issues or limited mobility.
