Single Leg Push-off

What it is

This movement is a beginner-level compound push that effectively strengthens your lower body. You will push off an elevated surface, primarily engaging your quadriceps for explosive power. This exercise also activates your hamstrings and calves, contributing to overall leg strength. Focus on achieving controlled height and landing with stability.

Technique tips

• Align your pushing heel near the box edge.
• Push powerfully, extending your hip and knee fully.
• Strive for maximum controlled height on each push.
• Land softly on the same foot you initiated the push with.
• Maintain your balance throughout the entire movement.
• Engage your core to enhance overall stability.

How to track your progress

Log the weight and reps of each set. Straddly turns every set into an estimated one-rep max, so a heavier single and a strong set of eight both count as progress, and it flags a personal record the moment you beat your best.
