45 degree sled leg press
45 degree sled leg press: written movement steps, equipment and example doses. General information to help you choose an appropriate starting point.
How to do it
- Sit secured with feet on sled plate.
- Lower sled then press away. Keep the pelvis supported and check the safety catches before starting.
- 4 bouts × 10s; 50s rest between bouts. Use manageable resistance and a clear working area; no all-out effort. Keep breathing; stop a bout if position or control is lost. Keep the pelvis supported and check the safety catches before starting. Perform controlled press-and-return repetitions during the timed set; this is not a static hold or a race against the clock.
Equipment
- full gym

Safety and comfort
- Stop for pain, dizziness or unusual breathlessness; do not force range or train to failure. Keep the back and pelvis supported and use only a comfortable range. Obtain an equipment induction before using the machine.
- Heels lifting; knees collapsing inward; dropping onto the seat or forcing extra depth. Exercise check: Keep the pelvis supported and check the safety catches before starting.
