Single Leg 45 Degree Leg Press (Machine)

Also known as: Single Leg 45 Degree Leg Press (Machine).

Unilateral leg press using one foot on a sled that travels along inclined rails.

How to perform this exercise

1. Set the back pad and safety stops. Keep the back and pelvis supported and place one whole foot near the center of the platform.
2. Keep the other leg relaxed away from the platform. Hold both handles and start with the working leg nearly straight without locking the knee.
3. Lower the sled by bending the working knee and hip, stopping before the pelvis rolls away from the pad.
4. Press through the whole foot to return. Secure the sled before switching sides.
