Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The Sled One-Leg Hack Squat targets the quadriceps, improving balance and unilateral leg strength. It involves a pressing motion with one leg on a hack squat machine, requiring stabilization and control, making it effective for isolating and strengthening each leg independently.
How to do it
- Position yourself on the hack squat machine with your back resting against the pad.
- Place one foot on the platform at shoulder width and the other slightly off the platform.
- Push through the heel of the planted foot to extend the leg fully without locking the knee.
- Lower the weight by bending the knee and hip to descend into a squat position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps and switch legs.
