Pistol squats

[Bdiesvaza]

I have tried to do some pistol squats on one leg, anddamn is this exercise hard! Wonder how does it compare to a normalsquat? It seems to me like a good load for the leg, because youbasically lift all the weight of the body with just one leg, and addto this the balancing problems.

never tried that sort of squat

i recommend box squats or front squats, also lunges are great.

Oh Steve, you should definitely try those - they are very challenging even without weight, and if you take some weight, then they are killers....perhaps I am calling it wrong...
