Lunge Sled Push

The sled push done from a lunge stance is a resistance exercise that trains the legs, glutes and core one side at a time. Instead of running the sled forward on both legs, you settle into a split position, grip the handles and drive the sled away from you through the front foot alone, extending that leg fully before resetting. The single-leg version exposes strength differences between sides that a two-legged push hides completely. Its real advantage is what it leaves out: a sled has almost no eccentric phase, so you generate large amounts of force with very little muscle damage. That makes it usable close to competition, during a return from injury, or simply on weeks when heavy squatting would cost you too much recovery. Load the sled so the drive stays explosive rather than grinding.
