¿POR QUÉ SE DESARROLLÓ?
Todo comenzó al observar cómo las rodillas de incontables personas se doblaban hacia adentro durante los ejercicios (sentadillas, etc.), una mala alineación de la columna vertebral, una distribución incorrecta del peso que comenzaba en los pies y, en general, una mala posición que, como resultado, termina secuestrando la intención real, el enfoque y el resultado del movimiento en sí.
CÓMO FUNCIONA
Con el fin de abordar los problemas de la mala técnica, el posicionamiento, el estrés no deseado y la distribución inadecuada del peso, comenzamos a probar una plataforma con inclinaciones y ángulos específicos para posicionar y alinear mejor el cuerpo para un rendimiento óptimo, a la vez que promueve la postura y reduce el estrés en las articulaciones.
Así nació The Deck™ de WeckMethod. Una plataforma de levantamiento y entrenamiento patentada de dos piezas que utiliza inclinaciones y ángulos específicos para ayudar a promover la distribución adecuada del peso, reducir el estrés no deseado en las articulaciones, corregir la mala postura, permitiendo que su cuerpo obtenga el mayor beneficio y efectividad (ROI) de cada repetición.
CONFIGURACIÓN Y USO
The Deck™ le ofrece una variedad de configuraciones y usos, sin ser excesivamente complicado. The Deck™ viene en dos piezas (una plataforma derecha y una izquierda) lo que le da la opción de usarlo como una unidad completa o usar una sola plataforma para ejercicios unilaterales (zancadas, etc.).

Loved it so much we just ordered a second set
Great product! Incredibly happy with my purchase.
Fantastic piece of equipment! Been using it to fix ankle pronation and correct ground-up structural alignment. 10/10 would repeat.
Man, let me tell you—as someone dealing with flat feet, wonky ankles, and kneecaps that like to point outward instead of forward, finding the right gear is a struggle. I picked up the SoleSteps (even at a size 14!) and this thing is a total game changer. The best part? I don’t even have to overthink my foot placement anymore. I just hop on the platform and I’m good to go, hitting way deeper squats than usual. Sometimes I’ll just hold a squat to really build up that strength in my right knee. I still use a resistance band to keep my knees from diving inward, but my feet and ankles stay rock-solid and planted the whole time in the correct angle this device forces the feet to do which aligns the hips as well. If you’re serious about your squat routine, this is 100% worth the investment. I even messed around with some one-legged pistol squats and honestly? I almost pulled it off, which shocked the hell out of me lol! 😆😆
Keeps my form in place and great for single leg balance exercises.
I purchased The Deck after having great success with my Sole Steps. Every product I've used from Weck Method has become monumental gear responsible for every major fitness gain I've ever had.
After configuring it correctly I did a set of kettlebell cleans and presses. I hadn’t performed this exercise in a year or longer. It felt effortless. My posture for the movement was dialed in, and I’m sure made up for any shortfalls in form on my behalf. After completing them I progressed to kettlebell swings with the same effect. I’ve used the them ever since. So happy I made this purchase. Do your self a favor by investing in this product today!
Great product! It took me some time to realize the genius of it. I practice a neurological rehab technique and this product fits perfectly, especially when balancing the autonomic nervous system. From a TCM perspective, it would be akin to balancing the Yin Qiao and Yang Qiao meridians, depending on the orientation. Well made too. I put silicone stoppers on the bottom to protect my wood floors and create grip.
Like them. Good quality piece of gym equipment. Using them for neuro rehab in my clinic and my own rehab doing kb swings. Highly recomend if you are into those sort of things.
Exactly what it is purported to be. Love the large surface area - much easier to position for a barbell exercise than finding sole steps with the bar on my back.
The Weck Deck has become the single most important piece of exercise equipment I have owned in my 24 year career as a personal trainer and S&C coach.
Phenomenal! Using the board, I feel a ton more engagement on my left side while squatting. I feel the time working on the board has had a positive effect on muscle engagement while walking AFTER a workout. Definitely recommend the product to anyone concerned about their posture and mechanics while working out their lower body
Amazingly fun and effect addition to my setup! I love to switch up foot position and angles in my training.
The (Weck) Deck is a much needed tool in my self directed PT journey to undo 20+ yrs of sitting at a desk with bad posture. I realize I have much to learn about using this, but I have found it has complimented my daily core workout beyond my expectations. I find regardless of the movement, its ability to support my feet with super high arches such a benefit. I notice my foundation is rock solid, which translates into better activation up the chain. When getting off the deck, the sensation in my feet and ankles is indescribably pleasant, providing a spring to my walk. I’m trying to find mores to employ it during my workouts. I am very pleased with my purchase. Cheers!
I love the Weck Deck so far. The size is my favorite part and the ability to set to so many configurations is awesome. The only thing I would like to see on a final version is some kind of printed markings on the top that tell you the slope degrees your in. Definitely a 5 star product as is though.
The Deck really takes weight of the joints and makes things like front squats ,thrusters ,cleans ,and back squats better.I also really enjoy kettlebell complexes more effective.Really enjoy this product.
With a little creativity the decks provide a tool With endless variety. All helping you fall under the principle of making every step stronger!
Best investment I made. Helps with strengthening from the ground up.
This has been a great edition to my arsenal of tools. I am having a great time learning the different positions.
Still discovering all the ways to incorporate the WeckDeck into training, enjoying the process! Clients love it, it’s making me crave heavyweights because I feel secure while using. The grip is more of a shock absorbing grip compared to the sole steps grip tape.
Fantastic piece of equipment. Flew out to SD to train with David in person and then had to pick this up... It's been foundational in recovering from a broken ankle earlier this year!
There is so many different ways of using The Deck. Each will give you a different feel by using muscles differently. We have only started to scratch the surface. In my video I am using The Deck for doing deadlifts with a sandbag. But there are endless ideas and ways of utilizing it.
It's the best piece of fitness equipment ever made!!!!!!! Only complaint is that it does not have skid or some sort of friction rubber bottom when I use it on the inverted orientation. Other than that... I use it pretty much every day for some sort of leg or upper body greasing the groove
Absolute game changer. Very effective addressing and fixing details of the squat that may prove elusive otherwise.
This product is a game changer BUT the black grip mat on it has started tearing after one week of use only downside
It’s incredible to say the least. I can spend the whole day on it by accident. And I feel better
Absolutely love the decks really trying to explore how it works into my training and following on Instagram provides some cooks things I can try out.
As a fitness enthusiast and health practitioner, I can say The Deck is a great way to bias different foot positions during movements like the squat, deadlift, KB swing, landline applications, etc. You can even use it sloping down on one side and up on the other to help offset asymmetrical compensation patterns. This is really fun tool to use particularly if you like being creative in your approach and teaching your body to feel different positions and inputs. Really, really great idea. It’s so simple, but applicable in so many different ways to a movement-centered approach to weightlifting and exercise!
So many great applications to better human movement and strength. Keep changing the game 👏🏼❤️💪🏼
Have not got to utilize the Decks much as of yet as I am still recovering from a hip replacement surgery. Will be released soon so they will be part of my training then. I have shown them to several people who train (cross fitters) and the have all loved them. Will know more soon.
Works well to get the inside and outside arches of the foot while also activating the hips anterior and posterior musculature.
I would have loved to give this product 5 stars because the product is great, but unfortunately mine has not one, but 3 screws that were too close to the edge of the board and cracked the mat on top. I can understand 1 but 3, and still sending it out without fixing? Come on. For $300 and a repeat buyer of weck products that was disappointing. We’ll see if they compensate me in some way, but ya not expecting much. My email is kentaroball@gmail.com if you want to get in touch Weck method.
the rubber was peeling off and it looks poor...especially for how much it cost. i love the deck itself!
I love the idea of it, but having a difficult time adapting to the pitch with each foot as one more supinated then the other so not getting the feel I was hoping for and may need wedges with it to ground feet which is not what I was hoping for so checking with staff for help and possible return before 30 days expire.
