How to perform it

Adjust the sled machine to a comfortable weight and position yourself with your back against the pad. Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform, toes slightly pointed outwards. Grip the handles on the sides of the machine for stability. Engage your core and slowly lower your body by bending your knees and hips, keeping your back straight. Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly below. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to extend your legs and return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
