Today we get after it with unilateral skills and drills. The pistol is effectively a single leg squat, many aren’t fans of it, it’s because they suck at it. There is no less value in training this move than the double leg squat, except it enhance balance, coordination, accuracy and agility even more than the double leg squat along with strength, flexibility and stamina. Then we get after a nasty chipper that will take big engines and strong legs to finish!
