Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Sled Side Leg Press.
A unilateral leg press variation performed on a leg press machine with the body positioned sideways on the seat. This angle shifts emphasis toward the glutes and outer hip musculature while still loading the quadriceps, making it an effective accessory movement for hip and leg development.
The Sled Side Leg Press 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.
