  • The falacy about 'too much pressure' being put on the joint in a full squat, one legged or otherwise is simply not true. The only time pistols or olympic squats are bad is when there are pre existing problems with the joint. Also olympic lifter careers wouldn't last long at all if doing a full deep squat was bad for the knees BUT their careers are long and they have the strongest, healthiest knee joints on the planet.

  • full deep squat is better for your knee! This video is awesome!!!!

  • I have a serious man crush for this guy. Freaking awesome instruction!!

  • @chodykumbra It's probably a matter of flexibility, probably hamstring, that makes your knee go forward meaning the knee gets loaded more than usual. So the answer for you PROBABLY is to increase hamstring flexibility.

  • If you want to see something really extreme when it comes to leg training than check out my video's I was inspired by steve cotter.

  • damn this guy is strong

  • My knee caps feel hyper mobile and painfully crack after i do pistols all the way down. I can do about fifteen bodyweight pistols on either leg, but after a week or two of doing pistols i get the knee issues. I dont ever feel pain during the workout its always days after. Does anyone have any pointers to make this a painless exercise?

    PS i know i should just go get a RKC certified person but im poor.

  • BEAST

    

  • @OinopsPontos Everything is easier if you're small, except maybe dunking ;-) ... I'm 6'6'' (1,98 m) and can do the weighted pistol just fine. I had to work on my flexibility first though. Google "pistol tactical ballerina" (no joke) for an article on flexibility for the pistol.

  • this is so much easier if you're a little manlet. not so simple for us lanky giant dudes.

  • "Hold the pistol by the horns" lol
