Pistol Squat

Video coming soon...

The Pistol squat is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps, providing an intense workout for this muscle group.

During the exercise, the bodyweight is used to lower and raise the body on one leg, challenging the quads and improving balance and stability.

While the pistol squat also engages secondary muscles like the glutes and hamstrings, its main focus is on developing strong and powerful quads.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward.
Extend your arms straight in front of you for balance.
Shift your weight onto your right leg and lift your left foot off the ground.
Bend your right knee and slowly lower your body down, keeping your chest lifted.
Lower until your right thigh is parallel to the ground, or as close as you can comfortably go.
Push through your right heel to straighten your leg and return to the starting position.
