Sled 45 Degrees One Leg Press

Setup

1. 01Sit in the 45-degree sled with hips and low back flat against the pad.
2. 02Place one foot mid-platform, in line with the hip on that side.
3. 03Keep the free foot off the platform, resting to the side or on the frame.
4. 04Unrack the sled with both hands on the handles and the working knee soft.

Execution

1. 01Lower the sled under control until the knee comes toward the chest.
2. 02Stop before the hips tuck or lift off the pad.
3. 03Press through midfoot and heel back to the start.
4. 04Finish with a soft knee, never a hard lockout.

Checkpoints

• -Low back stays glued to the pad at the bottom.
• -The knee tracks over the foot without drifting inward.
• -The sled moves at a steady tempo in both directions.
• -Range of motion matches on left and right legs.

Common mistakes

• -Cutting depth because the load is left too close to two-leg numbers.
• -Letting the pelvis roll under at the bottom.
• -Locking the knee hard against a heavy sled.
• -Assisting with the free leg on hard reps.
