Elevated Heel Squats

Elevated heel squats are a lower-body strength exercise where you perform a squat with your heels raised on a small platform, weight plate, or wedge, allowing for greater knee flexion and a more upright torso. This variation shifts more emphasis onto the quadriceps, enhances squat depth, and improves ankle mobility, making it a great choice for building stronger, more defined legs and for athletes looking to correct squat form and mechanics.
