Sled One Leg Calf Press On Leg Press

Equipment

Target
Calves

Doing the sled calf press one leg at a time exposes calf strength imbalances that a two-legged version can hide, since a stronger calf will otherwise quietly do more of the work. It also lets you push each leg through a fuller range without the other leg limiting how far you can go. Keep the rep tempo slow — this one is easy to bounce through once fatigue sets in.

How to Do the Sled One Leg Calf Press On Leg Press

  1. Adjust the seat of the leg press machine so that your knees are slightly bent when your feet are on the sled.
  2. Sit on the machine with your back against the backrest and your feet on the sled, shoulder-width apart.
  3. Place your toes and the balls of your feet on the sled, keeping your heels off.
  4. Push the sled forward by extending your ankles, keeping your knees slightly bent.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the sled back down by flexing your ankles.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
