Josh Heenan on Instagram: "Progressing the Pistol Squat

I do a ton of lunges, step-ups, and single leg squatting variations in my training, but pistols are always something I’m working on due to some of my movement limitations.

You’ll see that I increase the intensity of the exercise by using less band tension by walking close to the rack as the set progresses.

You’ll see my lower back round as I get to the bottom of the pistol. Many will argue…
1 - that’s dangerous (it’s not)
2- it’s suboptimal (I agree)
3 - I shouldn’t use this pattern because it’s suboptimal (it depends)

In my case, I have no problem controlling a neutral spine when doing standing hip CARs. This points to a pelvis, trunk and femur stability and control issue, not a boney block that could cause longer term issues.

Lisa Mitro, Physical Therapist for Runners on Instagram: "We run on one leg, so we should progress to training on one leg⬇️

But if a single leg squat is difficult or doesn’t look great, the goal should be to work up to one:
1. Use a wall for support, especially if you struggle to load the posterior chain
2. Unilateral glute max and trunk stability is SO important, I love the single knee to chest bridge for this
3. Any sort of single leg stability where your form looks great even if that means a mini squat, static standing or using support

Single leg squats are a great way to track progress for the everyday athlete.

However, single leg movements can be tough for some individuals and people have a hard time feeling the right muscle groups working during the exercise.

This is an exercise variation that I like to use for various reasons.

The Narrow Split Squat:

1. Tripod Support: you can use the back leg for balance support and adjust the width of the legs to musket the single leg squat position.

2. Narrow Stance: helps access not only deeper ranges of knee flexion, but also helps individuals feel the eccentric contraction of the hips:

3. Tibial Progression: you can also access deeper ranges of ankle range of Single Leg Squat, Exercise Without Weights, Strength Exercises, Split Squat, An Exercise, Group Work, Strength Workout, Muscle Groups, Hard Time

Losing lower body strength, and the ability to climb starirs, hike, get down on the floor AND back up again with ease ,will dramatically impact your quality of life.

So this squat progression is FANTASTIC for building back up your lower body strength AND ensuring good function for years to come.

Work on this progression!

1️⃣ Step One: Shallow Squat to Chair - Barely touch your bum to the edge of a chair. Start with the arm, then go down to the seat of the chair.
2️⃣ Step Two: Staggered Squat to Chair with offset feet for added challenge.
3️⃣ Step Three: Single Leg Squat (with assistance first) - Sit down with just one leg, but then plant the other Squat Progression, Single Leg Squat, Lower Body Strength, Total Body Toning, Fit Over 40, Strong Legs, Chair Yoga, Body Strength, Beginner Workout

Whealth on Instagram: "If your knee trembles in fear of this movement, comment “Knee” and I’ll send you our free knee pain relief series. It will also help you build strength in and around your knee. Single-leg squats are an amazing way to progress your squats without needing weight. To me (Andrew), this movement feels equivalent to doing 115-lb back squats. So, as you work through these progressions and get lower, you will be able to practice “weighted” squats one leg at a time. Initially, we want to build hip strength. You may already have this strength, and if you do, you can skip the lunge portion (although I would keep lunges in your rotation). The movement I personally used the most to progress the single leg squat was the “step down” - the second exercise.
