Unlock Your First Pistol Squat🦵

A full squat, on one leg, all the way down and all the way back up. It looks like pure leg strength.

It isn't.

You go down.
Your heel lifts.
You fall backwards.

Here's the thing: the pistol squat needs ankle mobility, knee stability and balance just as much as it needs strength. That's why it starts with a stretch.

When you can do the deep squat stretch and the standing hamstring stretch, you're ready for deep squats.
When you can do 10 deep squats, you're ready for touchdown squats.
When you can do 10, you're ready for box assisted pistol squats.
When you can do 10, you're ready for elevated negative pistol squats.
When you can do 5 reps, you're ready for elevated pistol squats.
When you can do 5, you're ready for the pistol squat hold.
When you can hold 10 seconds, you're ready for negative pistol squats.
When you can do 5, you're ready for assisted pistol squats.
When you can do 5 assisted pistol squats, you're ready for the full pistol squat.

No guessing.
No skipping.

Mobility first, then strength, then balance.

Save this and start at the step you can actually hit today.
