If you have a pool it helps as well. I was in physical therapy doing land and aquatic therapy. It helped with my balance since there were others doing their exercises and the water always moving. If it's difficult to do on land, I'd recommend trying in a pool by the stairs to "sit" on them doing the pistol squats. Especially if you're overweight like I am and need to feel lighter.

​@@trapezius77Agreed. No amount of flexibility is going to help you if you can't lift up ~85% of your body weight on one leg. I'd say the bare minimum strength to do a pistol squat is being able to barbell squat past your bodyweight. Ironically, I like doing pistol squats a lot more than barbell squats now. Way easier to perform in terms of equipment and time (flat ground vs gym, barbell and at least 180 lbs of weights) and they're very impressive. Plus, it helps my barbell squats since I actually train legs more often with them.

Balance really is the the limiting factor on pistols.

It's much easier for me to do a pistol squat on my right than my left leg (feels like it gives up at the last 10% of the bottom of the pistol squat). Even though I had ACL surgery on my right knee and my right hammy and quad are a little smaller than my left. But I did focus on mind-muscle connection in my rehab for my right leg. Must have helped in recruiting those muscles for movements like this. Anyone have any tips as well?

Amazing advice!

I’ve got real bad ankle impingement, so I’ve just accepted that I’ll never do these pistol squats. I’m super impressed by people who have the mobility and strength to do these well!

I would love more advice on developing balance. It’s been years and I still struggle to do basic lunges.

Best advice I've seen on this move. Good stuff.

pistol squatting have turned into my new fun time exercise.

how i worked up to it was i did bodyweight bulgarian split squats in my bedroom and after a few weeks i could do pistol squats. i also did full body workouts 3-5x a week :)

I can feel my knee shattering

That toes over knees balance is crazy important for many sports. Having flat ground and comfortable shoes throughout our whole life is murder for ankle strength.

Cake plays an imp role in that tho

Thanks man, I've been having trouble getting going on pistol squats. I think it's probably because I'm overweight and my legs aren't that strong yet, but these tips are helpful :-)

Best channel on KZread thanks man 💪

That girl is doing it perfectly

Thanks. This exercise is intimidating

Thanks for the tips!

As a woman who could do these in highschool, then lost the ability for several years, and am now just getting that ability back, pistol squats are serious stuff. They're a great indicator of overall body condition and will really expose any imbalances you have. They're also very dangerous for your knees and back if you rush into deeper squats than you're ready for, you really have to build your way with exercises like these.

I learned on the trx and built myself up to about 6. However in hindsight I think the best way to learn is start in the bottom position and just push yourself up.

You always have excellent training techniques 😃

Gonna start learning these

That gymnast in the red is a baaaaddd B!!
