how many pistol squats can you do?

>>38577155
RIP you're knees

Good bait son. Pistol squats actually improve your kneejoints rather than destroy them.

>>38577155

10. I have more issues with the balance than the actual squat.

Enough. This was from may 2015 but haven't done a weighted one since so I could probably do more

None, yet. I'm learning to do them off a chair first, and I'll go lower gradually. Even if I was strong enough to do them my hamstrings are tight as shit still so I can't even get into the position.

is there any point in doing pistol squat? did you build any muscle mass on them?

>>38577678

It looks cool. So you can pose and post it on facebook to impress normies.

I've never done these before and just tried to bang one out

>ow my fucking knees

I came down way too fast

>>38577155
Why are they called pistol squats? It resembles nothing like a pistol.

>>38577678
If I didn't have access to barbells/squat rack then I'd do them again.

I feel like they definitely help develop your knee extensors/flexors and can help build mobility/stability within the squat but overloading with barbell is far easier.

Add them as a fun accessory on leg day

>>38577706
Mate, you don't just go into the gym and try to squat 2pl8 on your first go.
You build up from bar and slowly add weight.

Grab a wall and slowly do a pistol squat.
Gradually support yourself less and less with the wall.

It's like taking a bullet to your knees.

>>38577807
It kind of looks like an upside down pistol

>>38577155
Just tried to do one.
I can do them with my right leg but not with my left one. What the fuck is this shit?

Are you retarded or just b8ing?

Here's your (you)

>inefficient motor patterns
>muscular imbalance
You're probably right handed/right footed correct?
When you do a regular squat you'd be instinctively pushing harder with your right developing it more. Do more isolateral exercises

that's like those star constellations that retards claim look like a bulls or animals when it really resembles an assortment of random birds' droppings.

>>38577906
Never mind, just tried to do it from the bottom position and was able to do it. I don't seem to lack the strength or flexibility, I guess it's just coordinance.

My 15 year old little brother can do like 10. I can't even squat to reach a low shelf without being in intense pain or needing help to get back up...

>>38578022
what the fuck is google

>>38578067
THANKS .

i can do about 8 with either leg, but it never feels right. my mobility is fine, back doesn't round, but it never feels good on my knees, so i don't do it anymore.

>>38577293
Have you considered controlling your descent, or keeping the leg out in front passive, or straightening it out like someone with decent mobility, or maybe to not use bouncing?
