>>75477572Just tried, I can do them effortlessly.But that was to be expected, I train MMA.
>>75477846Musty Man Anus?What does that have to do with this?
My party trick in highschool was one legged squats. I still got it
how does one work up to this? I have the mobility... but the balance and strength are not there. is it hammys?
>Also does nothing to your glute or quad development
>>75478491>Does a second exercise
I can still do these but next day my left knee will feel like crap. Has anyone overcame that? Over time it has definitely improved but idk still wouldn’t mind doing them routinely again
>>75477572the only hard part about pistol is stretching the leg and keeping it at that positionlifting yourself up with one leg is not exactly hard
>>75478366sit on some stairs and use your handsthen progress from there
>>75477572Give me literally one valid reason this serves any purpose other than showing off
>>75478366Hold some light dumbbells or plates lin your hands as a counter weight. Do them elevated so the off leg can go below the plane of the leg you are balancing on
>>75478344>hey remember that loser who used to do that leg thing at parties>not really
>>75477572>doesn't put any of your muscles under enough tension to promote muscle growthuseless exercise
>>75477572>children can do this>must mean they are stronger than adults
>>75481023Nice projection
>>75477572> useless balance and flexibility testI do these +34lb backpack for reps while curling a banister for support with 2 fingers
Flexibility and balance aren't useless
>>75478523Get a knee braceI went hiking in the Himalayas and I need them every time I explosively exert my legs now. Not in the gym exactly but when running and stuff like thatBetter than a torn ligament though
>>75481028>Hypertrophy is the only goal>>75481023>Social proof is the only goal
>>75477572Speak for yourself. I'm already repping out dragon squats. (while balancing on a dumbell) @190lbs.
>>75478523>>75482140Strengthen your glutes. Knee braces are a temporary bandaid.
>>75481185Based fingerbro
>>75477572i could do these the first time i tried them as a cyclist dyel
>>75477572They did these in my yoga class today. Most zoomer women can accomplish, but the one football player in the class fell over. You need to lean forward a lot if you have a bulky upper body.
>>75482203>Most zoomer women can accomplish, but the one football player in the class fell over. You need to lean forward a lot if you have a bulky upper body.Agreed. It's basically cheating for women because the leverage is so much easier.
>can do 3-4 with the right leg>barely 1 with ease with the leftam I a cripple? used to play sports n shit and my right leg is insanely strong
>>75477572I can do them, but it's a test, not an exercise thing. I don't recommend pistol squats for your workout needs. It's one of those things you should be able to do tho. t. MMAfag just like the first guy but I also lift on the side
>>75483121I heavily disagree. Single leg squats and their variations are excellent assistance work for squatting, they build another level of proprioception and balance you can't get otherwise. For hypertrophy they have their use for emphasizing the vastus medialis. They'll build a solid foundation for your glutes, but those gains will fall off unless you start adding weight (eventually if youre doing the most advanced variations). Not to mention that the SFR ratio is so free that you can spam them every leg day.
