Sled 45° Leg Press (Side Pov)
The sled 45° leg press (side pov) is a compound lower body exercise performed on a sled machine. It primarily targets the glutes and also works the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. The movement involves pressing a weighted footplate away from the body by extending the legs, then returning to the starting position by bending the knees.

- 1.Adjust the seat of the sled machine so that your knees are at a 90-degree angle when your feet are on the footplate.
- 2.Sit on the sled machine with your back flat against the backrest and your feet shoulder-width apart on the footplate.
- 3.Grip the handles on the sides of the seat for stability.
- 4.Push against the footplate to extend your legs, straightening them completely.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly bend your knees to lower the footplate back to the starting position.
