Rogue Fitness's Dead Wedge is a versatile, adjustable, and portable tool designed to assist athletes with their workouts. The deadlift-specific wedge shape fits snugly under your foot to maintain a stable platform, while still allowing the proper joint position for a "hip hinge" deadlift technique. The unique design includes two adjustable sections – a curved piece that supports your shin and a flat surface that supports your foot – allowing multiple configurations and heights to accommodate users of any size. The Dead Wedge is made of quality hardwood and built to last, making it ideal for use in home gyms and fitness centers. Its small size and non-skid rubber feet mean it can be easily tucked away or carried to any location, allowing for maximum portability and versatility. Whether you're a beginner looking to get into the deadlift or an experienced lifter looking for an edge, the Dead Wedge will help you get the most out of your workout.
