After my last newsletter some people wondered what a pistol squat was. Here is a tutorial for pistol squat, how to take the step to get there and different variations to practice. First be sure you can perform a full squat/low squat pain free with heels on the ground. Then try 1 leg squat with a chair behind you to limit the range of motion, lower the chair to a bench. Try a full squat, to roll on back use momentum to come up. Same thing doing pistol squat. Might prefer coming down once slowly with control, then put feet down in a squat position and press yourself up with two legs. Remember coming down in a squat is the eccentric portion of the movement and you gain lots of muscles only working on that part.

I took a break of a couple week doing Global Bodyweight Athlete Program. I was at the point I needed to access back lever and human flag. This program is so well design and incredible ressource to learn and evolve. I even have a special promo code to save 25$ if you are interest,<a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/product/global-bodyweight-athlete-training-program/" target="_blank" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.choose2be.ca/product/global-bodyweight-athlete-training-program/"> click here for more information</a>.
