Sled Single-Leg 45-Degree Press

Set up the leg press machine: Load the desired weight onto the machine.

Sit down on the machine with your back against the padded support and one foot on the footplate. Place your other foot on the frame or on the ground if space allows.

Position your foot so that it's in line with your knee, ensuring the knee is bent at 90 degrees when starting.

Release the safety bars and hold onto the handles beside the seat.

Press the footplate away by extending your knee and hip. Focus on using the quadriceps and gluteal muscles to perform the work.

Return to the starting position by bending your knee and controlling the weight.

Switch legs after completing the desired repetitions, and repeat.

Re-engage the safety bars before removing your feet from the footplate.

Breathe out as you press away the weight and breathe in as you return to the base position.

Safety Tips: Avoid locking your knees at the top of the movement, control the weight, start with light weight, and warm up your legs before starting.
