Lever Standing Leg Raise

The Lever Standing Leg Raise targets the hip flexors and quadriceps. This exercise helps improve lower body strength and stability.

  1. Adjust the lever to your desired height.
  2. Stand with one leg on the platform and the other leg hanging off.
  3. Raise the hanging leg to the side, keeping it straight.
  4. Lower the leg back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Lever Standing Leg Raise

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Lever Standing Leg Raise using your leverage machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your glutes.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
