Description
APEX The Slant Stack is a modular lower-body training system that combines an angled slant board with three 2-inch interlocking platforms, giving users a stable and adjustable elevated surface for strength, mobility and movement training. Instead of relying on a loose slant board or separate step, the slant board securely attaches to the platforms, creating an integrated setup that can be quickly configured for different exercises and training heights. The included platforms can also be used independently as flat step-up platforms, making the system useful beyond slant-board exercises.
Each platform provides 5cm (2inch) of elevation, allowing the included three platforms to create up to 15cm (6in) of elevation before the slant board is added. The interlocking design helps keep the platforms securely connected during training, while built-in handles make them easier to carry, stack and unstack. APEX recommends a maximum of 15 platforms, providing up to 75cm (30in) of platform height when used in an appropriate configuration. The system is particularly suited to exercises that benefit from controlled elevation and progressive range of motion, including Patrick Step-Ups, Poliquin Step-Ups, Petersen Step-Ups, split squats, VMO squats, deficit squats, deficit deadlifts, Jefferson curls and calf raises. The adjustable platform height allows the difficulty and range of motion of many movements to be progressively modified rather than being restricted to a single fixed setup. The Slant Board can be positioned in three different ways on top of the platforms for different movements and training requirements.
The Slant Stack is constructed from injection-moulded high-density polyethylene (PE) for durability and impact resistance. The slant board features commercial-grade grip tape to provide traction during training, while the platforms have textured surfaces designed to provide a stable footing. APEX rates the current Slant Stack for loads of up to 544kg (1200lb) and describes it as suitable for both home and commercial gym environments. The latest version also incorporates a built-in resistance-band channel underneath the platforms, allowing the stack to be used with resistance bands for additional exercise variations. Combined with its compact footprint, integrated handles and stackable construction, The Slant Stack provides a space-efficient solution for lower-body strength, mobility and progressive movement training.
