Hold on to something, it’s not a big deal.
i use to be able to do these. 1 each leg. all of a sudden now my balance sucks really bad and cant do em anymore?
What kind of reps should be done
Thanks, i eventually realised what he was saying, im still learning here!
I got one wrecked knee already, didnt want to make it any worse by doing it wrong!
I think he means droping into the squat very rapidly like in Olympic Weightlifting!
what do you mean by balistically? without warming up?
it is a great leg builder however do not do it balistically as it will cost you knee surgery at best, patelar cartilage degeneration at worst (also known as Chondromalacia patella), and i am talking from experience!
good vid
Damn, thats a very tough exercise.
Good job!
I can’t do these without the heel of my supporting foot coming off of the ground. My feet don’t flex far enough for some reason.
I can do it just fine if I hold 35 lb in weights out in front of me to shift my balance forward though.
Good stuff; I am definitely going to put this in my workout.
Not too bad but far too much blah, blah, blah. The first 01:30 or so is just blather that adds nothing to the video.
I discovered you today and Circular Strength Training. I think this is absolutely amazing!!! This type of training. I’m a personal trainer here in NYC and I’ve been exploring getting into some type of training in pursuit of picking up new skills. This makes alot of sense to me. Thank you.
I can squat just barely my own body weight, and I can do this – not many – but I can do them.
It’s more about coordination, balance, flexibility etc. vs. brute strength, although you need to be fairly strong, of course!
I find that my abs are incredibly engaged as well.
How much over your weight would you have to be able to barbell squat in order to have the strength to do a pistol?
Coordination wise I think I could do this. My ? is, would you recommend it for someone with scoliosis? I’m looking to strengthen my legs, which in turn would help (I think) take some pressure of my back when I lift weights. My pre lifting routine now, is about 10-15 min. of Yoga. Thank You!
I was really looking for something like this. Thanks for the great tutorial! Maybe you could do another one on how to progress into pistols (cycling, etc.).
Hey Bob,
That’s awesome that you’re going to give these a shot! Just be careful about the Rate of Perceived Discomfort to your knees. Anything that gives you pain above a 3 on a scale of 1-10 should be modified or discontinued (at least temporarily).
Thanks for the great video. With my bad knees I did not think that this would ever be something that I could do. But, with the alternatives that you presented I am surely going to give it a try.
