So for the first time ever I did pistol Squats today. Started off on a box, then dropped down to a low bench and then free standing.
Balance, coordination and mobility was definitely challenged during the execution of the lifts. Mainly maintaining perfectly straight and parallel out stretched leg.
I remember reading something not too long ago that learning new movements helps with mental plasticity. So now during the reimplementrd covid lockdown seems like a good time to learn some new movements.
I think I am going to use the next few weeks to work through the progressions for planche and handstand push ups too. See how far I can progress before these lockdown restrictions are lifted.
What carryover have you noted from doing pistol squats? How beneficial have they been to building your base?
