Slant Board FAQ:
1. How to use the Slant Board?
The Hybrid Athlete Slant Board is pretty intuitive to use. Depending on your goals, you can use the slant board in all sorts of ways. But the setup process is quite similar:
Find some clear space and put the slant board on the ground. Now, according to your goals for the day, set the angle of the slant board to either 20°, 30°, or 40°. People with weaker dorsiflexion should start with a wider angle, since heel elevation helps to make up for the lacking range of motion.
2. Can I use the Slant Board for stretching?
Yes, you can!
The slant board is ideal for calf and hamstring stretching. To get the full calf stretch on a slant board, set the angle to your liking, and use the board with your toes pointing upwards. To stretch your posterior chain even further, you can lock in your knees (while on the board) and hinge at the hips. Lower your chest until you feel the stretch in your hamstrings.
3. What to use in place of a Slant Board?
There’s a few things you can use instead of a slant board to get the same (or at least a similar effect).
The best alternative is the Squat Wedges. These “individual” slant boards are great if you want to tackle heel-elevated squats. However, wedges are rigid (to handle all the extra weight) and their incline can’t be adjusted.
Another alternative is to simply stand on a gym plate with your heels on the plate and your toes on the ground. While this method can be effective, please be careful - if not done correctly, your foot can slip and you can injure yourself.
4. Is the Slant Board good for your knees?
The Slant board isn’t only good for your knees - it’s great! There’s no better injury prevention than working the muscle around your knee joints. VMO squats, step-ups, stretches, calf raises, tib raises - the Slant Board is an ideal ally for all of these bulletproofing exercises.
5. When should I expect my Slant Board after I order?
If you are located in the Netherlands, you can expect your Slant Board to arrive within 1-3 business days. For the rest of the EU, it depends on the location and typically takes 1-14 business days. We work with trusted carriers like PostNL and DPD.
