45-DEGREE LEG PRESS

Custom Training: 45-Degree Leg Press. One controlled movement out and back counts as one repetition. Train both sides equally for unilateral variants.

HOW TO PERFORM

  1. 1

    Set the sled and safety stops for a controllable depth, with feet planted on the angled platform and the pelvis supported.

  2. 2

    Press through the feet to extend the hips and knees without forcefully locking the knees.

  3. 3

    Bend the hips and knees slowly until the planned depth, keeping the pelvis against the support.

COMMON MISTAKES

  • Lowering so far that the pelvis lifts off the pad or snapping the knees straight.
