Slant Board Front Foot Elevated Split Squat
Exercise Overview
The slant board front foot elevated split squat is a knee strengthening exercise aimed to improve end range knee flexion tolerance. Start by placing a 12-16 inch plyobox in front of you and place a slant board on top of it. Place your foot on the slant board so that the heel is elevated relative to your toes. Take a split stance position and lunge forwards while keeping your elevated foot planted. Lean forwards to allow your knee to past your toes to allow your knee to go into full knee flexion. Lunge back to a standing position to complete a repetition.
