John Heary, Certified Fitness Trainer and Specialist in Fitness Nutrition demonstrating 1 leg KB pistol squats. He is an owner and certified Fitranx Instructor at Buffalo Personal Training & Fit Body Bootcamp.
Pistol squats are a progression from the two legged squat. They are the king of all squatting movements. They utilize the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, spine, lower legs, and feet.. They also have a balance and flexibility component to them as well. You should control the ascent and descent of the motion making sure you do not bounce in the bottom part of the movement. There is a specific progression of exercises that are needed to master this exercise. You must be persistent and consistent with your training. And above all else you must be patient. Let me know if I can help you in any way.
These pistol squats were done as part of a leg routine as follows: KB pistol squat 5/leg, 15 BB lunges/leg, followed by 25 BB calf raises. Do 3 rounds of this routine with 30 seconds rest between exercises. If you have trouble with 1 leg squats and would like help to get there, please contact me at 716-545-4090.
