## Caption

We’ve begun to vary how we do one leg squats. Generally we squat to a box to work on depth but that version gets “bouncy”. Alternating “ on a box” and “to a box” keeps people honest. 

PS- this is not a pistol, it’s a one leg squat. Pistols are done from the floor with the free leg extended ( and we’re not fans)

Pistols can often cause hip flexor cramps and back pain from overusing the free side hip flexors. #unilateraltraining #functionaltraining 

Thanks to charlottenorth8 for the demo.
