Sled Alternating Single-Leg Negative Press
On the 45° leg press, push the platform up with both legs and lower it with one, switching the lowering leg each rep.
How to do it
Setup
In the 45° leg press, back flat on the pad, both feet hip-width on the platform, safeties released.
Steps
- Press the platform up with both legs.
- Lift one foot off and lower the sled slowly with the other.
- Put both feet back and press up; lower with the other leg next.
Common mistakes
Load too heavy for one leg on the way down: pick a weight one leg can lower slowly. Knee caving as it lowers alone: track it over the toes. Lower back peeling off the pad at the bottom: stop before the hips curl.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
