How to: Sled One Leg Hack Squat
- Stand on one leg on the sled platform, with the other leg extended behind.
- Loosely grip the handle for balance and support.
- Bend the knee of your standing leg and lower your body into a squat, while keeping the other leg off the sled.
- Push through your heel to return to the starting position, maintaining control.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and then switch legs.
Common Mistakes
- Not squatting low enough for full range of motion.
- Allowing the knee to cave inward during the movement.
