Equipment
Place your feet hip-width apart on the platform in front of you, ensuring your toes are pointing slightly outwards.
Bend your knees to bring the platform towards your chest, making sure to keep your feet flat against the platform at all times.
Once your knees are bent at a 90° angle, push through your heels to extend your legs and push the platform away from you.
Slowly return to the starting position by bending your knees and bringing the platform back towards your chest, ensuring to maintain control of the movement throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: When pressing the weights, extend your legs fully but avoid locking your knees at the top of the movement. This can cause unnecessary strain on the knee joints. Similarly, when you lower the weights, do so in a controlled manner. Avoid dropping the weights quickly as this can lead to injury. Breathing Technique: Proper breathing is essential for performing any weightlifting exercise, including the Sled 45° Leg Press. Inhale as you lower the weights and exhale as you press them up
