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

  1. Position yourself on the hack squat machine with your back resting against the pad.
  2. Place one foot on the platform at shoulder width and the other slightly off the platform.
  3. Push through the heel of the planted foot to extend the leg fully without locking the knee.
  4. Lower the weight by bending the knee and hip to descend into a squat position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps and switch legs.
