Power Sled Rear Lunge

The Power Sled Rear Lunge targets the lower body, focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps. This exercise enhances strength and stability while promoting proper lunge mechanics.

  1. Attach the sled to your waist or hold the handles.
  2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then step back with one leg into a lunge.
  3. Lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground.
  4. Push through your front heel to return to the starting position.
  5. Alternate legs for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Power Sled Rear Lunge

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Power Sled Rear Lunge using your sled machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  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 quadriceps 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.
