Steve Maxwell: Bottoms-Up Pistol

[ChengManChing]

Also see the Steve Maxwell pistol progression article on his blog. It helps people train to achieve their first pistol from the bottom up, rather than top down as in most progressions. Steve is the man!

@josesolis24, Have you ever heard the saying "Don't try to tell your granny how to suck eggs?"

[Gary1497]

@josesolis24, Airborne leg does not have to be dead straight. As long as the heel is not touching the ground and giving you momentum from the other leg, having a bend in the leg is no big deal.
