I decided to practice pistols today. This proved very interesting. I found Steve Cotter article on how to work up to them. I tried doing them holding on to a pole. I got down but couldn't get back up. So I proceeded to do them to a low stool. Here is the workout:
Pistols- holding pole and going to a bench
2x5 R,L
Tried without stool
1x1 R
couldn't get backup on my left
I need more strength in the bottom half of the move- below parallel
I finished with the following
front squats hold KB with both hands
3x5
Over head squats with empty Olympic bar
2x5
I will keep this up until I can get 5 full pistols with each leg.
