Add some partner training to your workout. Grab a teammate, spouse, your kid, or a friend and challenge each other to a more intense work day.
The pistol is a one-legged deep squat where the off leg and arms are extended forward for balance and increased depth. A highly advanced movement that can be performed in a variety of ways for beginners and experts alike.
To work your way up to a full unassisted pistol you can begin with grabbing a stationary object or partner for assistance. The depth of the pistol can vary as you work you way down to a full range one. Begin with sitting on a stool, stairs, or chair as you built up strength and increase your range of motion. Partner pistols are a great way to get everyone involved and create a unique balance challenge that promotes teamwork and communication to boot.
