Sled Lying Squat

Muscles involved

With your back fully supported, the sled lying squat gives you the exact confidence you need to push hard without worrying about losing your balance. During every rep, you can clearly feel your quads and glutes engaging fully as you extend the platform smoothly. A great set here feels steady and fluid: you feel the tension building up inside your legs without any unwanted lower back strain. That reliable stability provided by the leverage machine allows you to focus all your energy on proper execution and mind-muscle connection. By the time you rack the weight on your last rep, you get that deep, unmistakable pump in your thighs, proving you delivered an effective and solid workout.

How to do it

1. Lie on your back in the machine with your shoulders adjusted in the pads. 2. Place your feet on the platform shoulder-width apart and bend your knees. 3. Push the platform by fully extending your legs as you exhale. 4. Bend your knees controllably to return to the starting position as you inhale.
