Fitness Culture's video: The Only Pistol Squat Progression You ll Ever Need

If you do all of your squats with both feet on the ground, you might be missing out. Fitness trainers and coaches have long touted the importance of unilateral exercises that work limbs independently. And the pistol squat is a perfect example. Being a unilateral exercise, the pistol squat isolates the muscles in each leg, specifically the quads and glutes, forcing them to work without the help of their counterparts on the opposite side. This variation of the single-leg squat may feel awkward at first (cue the wobbly Bambi legs), but over time, the pistol squat may help even out muscle imbalances. And that’s just one of the the pistol squat's many benefits. If you're new to the pistol squat, give this progression a try.
