Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Single Leg Press (45-Degree Sled).
The Sled 45-Degree One Leg Press is a unilateral lower-body exercise performed on a 45-degree leg press machine using one leg at a time. Pressing with a single leg allows you to address strength imbalances, achieve greater range of motion, and place increased demand on the working quadriceps and glutes.
The Single Leg Press (45-Degree Sled) is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
