So, it took me a while but I managed to learn the pistol squat. My question is: is it still worth doing the regular squat or should I replace it completely by the pistol squat in my workouts?

pistol squat sucks ass, do some for knee stabilization once a week but you wont get strong legs with it
good prehabilitation for runners, bad strength exercise

Then which exercise is better?
>>
>>40260765
Bodyweight squats? If that's what you mean then yea. When I was poor and only had dumbbells I'd do weighted pistols.
>>
>>40260765
how did you learn it? what progression did you follow?
>>

barbell squat.

Do them assisted until you develop enough balance. Also they are harder to do barefoot, try using shoes with padded heels, it helps a lot.

I'll take things that aren't true, for 100, Alex.

>>40261063
>assisted
so just like holding on to a door frame or somethng?
>>
>>40261092
Yea, usually I lay one hand on a table to give me support. When you feel you have improved try lowering yourself without support and when you feel confident try pushing yourself back up.

>can easily squat 2x my body weight
>can't do 1 (one) pistol squat

>have strength to deadlift 500 tonnes
>bar I'm using can only hold 100 lbs
>>
10-15 reps each leg every day for the rest of your life desu. How do you think the ancient greeks had fucking tree trunk legs
>>
>>40262437
Im pretty sure thats because they, ancient people, didnt have access to cars and stuff so they had to walk much more than us, therefore developing stronger legs...
