Angled Leg Press
Muscles worked: Quads, Glutes.
How to do it
- Sit into the 45 degree sled with your back and hips flat against the pad.
- Place your feet mid-platform, about shoulder-width, and release the safeties.
- Lower until your thighs come near your chest, keeping your hips planted.
- Stop before your lower back rounds off the pad - that is your depth.
- Drive back up through mid-foot without locking the knees out hard.
Coaching cues
The two cues IronPack shows on this exercise's card mid-workout:
- The 45° sled - hips stay planted, no rounding off the pad
- Lower until thighs near the chest; never lock out hard
Logging it
IronPack suggests working in the 8 to 12 rep range, progressing in 10 kg jumps when you own the top of the range. Records are tracked automatically at every rep count from 1 to 12. Check your estimated 1RM from any hard set.
