Daniel Burnham Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 What benefit does this pistol squat variation have over the regular pistol?Not sure if it really does. It's not too bad of you are reasonable strong with pistols. I was not able to balance any fully. Really it's just weird to hold the y scale.

Cole Dano Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I've seen it done like that in yoga. However, as a strength builder, I'd think working an active leg left would be more beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran Regan Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That hip alignment looks way off towards the bottom of the squat as well as unstable. Dangerous me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous me thinks.I don't think it's dangerous. I can do it without loosing balance now. It's just a neat trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a neat trickCertainly not dangerous for someone with well conditioned joints and proprioception. The alignment just looked a bit off at the bottom of the squat and perhaps too much bounce to get back into standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I will be impressed when you can do that SLS variation while holding the other leg that high; without your hand assisting. Yours in Fitness,Coach Sommer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
