The Tib Bar Guy Slant Stack uses a unique stackable design I haven’t seen in other Knees Over Toes Guy equipment.
It uses male to female pieces like Lego blocks to interlock pieces and prevent movement.
This lets you stack boxes and a slant board on top of each other in various combinations.
Let’s check this out!
Unboxing
The TBG slant stack came neatly packaged in one box stuffed with paper and bubble wrap.
After I removed the filler material, first thing I saw was the slant board.
Tib Bar Guy branding on the grip tape surface.
Below the top layer there’s three stackable boxes with Lego-like pieces on the sides.
Those male pieces on the sides are what make the Slant Stack different than other boxes I’ve seen with Knees Over Toes Guy equipment.
Here’s everything out of the box.
Three step up boxes and a slant board.
When I flip one of the step up boxes, there’s a grid of squares and rectangles where the male pieces fit.
All the boxes and slant board have the same pattern on the bottom.
Here I turned the slant board upside down so you can see the pattern.
The side of each step up box has a slot so it makes it easy to move with my hands.
Specs
- Heavy duty plastic tested up to 1200 lbs
- High quality grip tape on slant board
- (3) 2 inch stackable boxes
- (1) slant board
- Side slots on each box for easy handling
Knees Over Toes Guy Exercises
The Tib Bar Guy Slant Stack is excellent for ATG programs (Knees Over Toes Guy exercises).
But it can also be used for other exercises by home gym owners.
What’s great about the Slant Stack is that you can start slow and increase intensity as you progress.
Take the Poliquin step up for example.
I can start by just using the slant board.
Then add one step up box for a 2″ increase in height.
Every additional box I add makes me go down further making the exercise more challenging.
Here it is with two boxes (4″ height).
And three boxes (6″ height).
I can also use this for ATG split squats.
The height increase and slant board help eliminate range of motion restrictions so I can get through the exercise.
By having the front foot higher and on the slant board, I eliminate hip flexor and ankle mobility issues.
I can also use the slant board for traditional exercises like calf raises and calf stretches.
Jefferson curls with a deep hamstring stretch using a pair of adjustable dumbbells.
And VMO squats with heels elevated to place more emphasis on my quads.
This one here is an excellent alternative to leg extensions if you don’t own a leg extension machine.
I like to do these when I’m crunched for time and I don’t want to set up my Freak Athlete Hyper Pro leg developer.
Or I can use the blocks by themselves.
One example of this would be standing on top of boxes and doing deficit deadlifts.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Multi-functional: Use for a variety of exercises like ATG split squats, cyclist squats, calf raises, Jefferson curls, deficit deadlifts, and more
- Progressions: Increase height in 2″ increments as you get stronger
- Grip tape: Quality non-slip grip tape prevents slipping
- Space saving: Stackable design uses vertical space rather than horizontal space like other step up boxes
- Material: Hard plastic is light weight but has a weight capacity of 1200 lbs
Cons
- No rubber feet: There is no rubber on the bottom of these so use them on rubber mats or carpet only where they work perfect

Tib Bar Guy Slant Stack Review
I like the Lego-like system the TBG slant stack uses.
A secure fit and non-slip slant board let me focus on the exercises without worrying about the boxes moving.
At 2″ increments per box, I can increase height as I progress.
And aside from Knees Over Toes Guy exercises, I can use these for many more exercises.
Easily one of these best step up boxes/slant board combos I’ve used.
