If you came yesterday and had trouble with the pistols, we continue with our pistol skill work today. All month, we are adding pistol progressions each week to help us develop the strength and skill needed to achieve pistols. As a variation of our air squat, the pistol is a one legged squat that takes a lot of balance, strength, and practice. The progressions we teach throughout this month should be used from week-to-week before class, after class, and during Open Gym to hone your skills.
New Survey for you to provide us with feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3WTZCTW
