  • What part of your foot are you putting pressure on the heel?

  • @Shadowslamer pressure is through the whole foot

  • The pistol is generally a very safe exercise for the knees if you have no history of injury. It is a very advanced exercise and requires a lot of training to get to that level to perform safety. Thanks for watching!

  • That was very impressive. It takes balance, strenth and coordination to that.

    SHUT UP

  • this is so hard. I will never be able to do a pistol squat

  • I came so close to doing a proper, full pistol squat the other day. My legs were going down a little over half way but then my foot tippy toed and my thighs descended onto my calf. and then I found out I was still on one leg, so I pushed myself up. I almost got excited over that lol. It's progress and honestly I've only been trying to do this exercise one time a week for a month. I'll be able to do a real one at some point. and when I do, I'll put it up on youtube.

  • try it on a bosu ball flipped over. its pretty tough

  • I'm not impressed by the pistol itself, what's impressive for me is how you're managing to hold those kettlebells in that position. Requires great forearm and general arm strength. The pistol is good technically but not that difficult at that weight. (KBs look like 12 kg if I'm not wrong)

  • did 3 sets of 8 pistols yesterday for the 1st time, thought I didn't get much of a burn or pump, but then fell backwards on my ass while trying to climb the stairs as my leg gave out. I had a plate in one hand and a drink in the other but i managed not to drop or spill either lol. Is it normal to not feel the burn with this exercise, but still have the effect sneak up on you ?
