When compared to a conventional squat, this allows for more knee extension with some of the weight load shifting from the posterior chain whilst providing greater quadriceps activation. Benefits of using a Squat Ramp: Reduce Stress on the Lower Back Typically, a traditional back squat can put quite a bit of pressure on the lower back and lumbar spine, which can be painful and damaging for the lower back, especially if form is not on point. They force the body to adopt a more upright position, thereby reducing the weight load to the lower back. Better Squat Depth Most people struggle with maintaining the correct depth and posture during squats. If that’s you, you may find heel-elevated squats easier to perform as the ankles have better alignment with the body when compared to squatting with flat heels. Poor ankle mobility is typically a reason for limited squat depth, but by incorporating some ankle dorsiflexion exercises this can be improved over time. Increased Strength It is important to do heel-up squats correctly if you want to get the most strength and stability from them. When you are in a stable position and on a stable surface, you can use the full force of your squat. Targets the Quads Whilst traditional back squats work pretty much all the muscles of the lower body, especially the posterior chain, there is no particular emphasis on the quad muscles. By making a small adjustment of raising up the heels, can have a significant impact on activating your quads.
