Single-Leg Press

Q: What muscles does Single-Leg Press work?

Single-Leg Press primarily trains Quadriceps, Hamstrings and Glutes. LIFTAG tags each set to those muscle groups so weekly volume and body-part splits stay honest.

Single-Leg Press is mapped to Leg Press Machine in the LIFTAG catalog. At a partner gym the tag on those machines opens this exercise with setup notes ready to log.

Compound · Weight × reps

Release the safeties, lower the sled under control, then press through the working foot while the unused leg stays clear of the mechanism. Do not copy your two-leg load or let the sled pull you into a deeper range than you can stabilize. A slightly lighter load and deliberate pause near the bottom make side-to-side technique differences easier to notice without claiming the exercise will automatically correct them.
