One Legged Squat

One Legged Squat: "The One Legged Squat
(a.k.a. The Pistol)"

An article from http://www.beastskils.com/ about "The Pistol". It shows proper form, variations and progressions if you want to incorporate the exercise in your training. It is very difficult (atleast for me). I once did a variation of the pistol, the one where you stand on a box about knee high, and then attempt to single leg squat. I used my arms extended in front of me as I go down as a counter weight. I went as low as just about parallel, am not strong and stable enough to go below parallel.
