Live Lean Nation, on today’s exercise demonstration, I’m showing you how to do pistol squat.
The pistol squat is one of the most challenging bodyweight exercises known to man as it requires a combination of balance, flexibility, and core and single leg strength.
Watch the PISTOL SQUAT: exercise demonstration video above.
To perform PISTOL SQUAT:
1. While standing, position your feet hip width apart and firmly press both feet into the ground.
2. Maintain your balance as you lift one foot off the ground and extend it in front of you while you contract your quad muscle.
3. Hinge at the hips to push your hips back and bend the knee of the planted foot and straighten your other leg out in front of you as you sit back and down until your hamstrings rests on your calf muscle.
4. Keep your chest up and try to maintain a flat back as best as you can. Your lower back may curve at the bottom, but it’s ok as the spine is not loaded down with extra weight. This is the rock bottom part of the pistol squat.
5. Now press your planted foot through the floor as your rise back up to standing.
6. Without placing your foot on the ground, repeat for reps, then switch legs and repeat.
