Hey guys,
I'm a bit new to the forum and was hoping someone could lend me a hand picking a good Pistol Squat Workout Routine. I did a quick linear progression to work up to 50 lbs, then I began doing the ETK template (H,E,M). I just reached 2x(1,2,3,4) ; 3x(1,2,3) on my Hard day. However, I felt like I was a bit out of focus because of the volume of reps, and it took around 45 minutes just squatting (I find myself out of breath quickly).
I feel like the ladders definitely boosted my strength. However, I wanted to look for a template that uses a bit less volume than this (my lower back feels smoked, I'm guessing from the high reps combined with the spinal flexion at the bottom). Such a template would probably go up in weight, which I am ok with. I feel confident moving up to a heavier weight.
Do you guys know some kind of Weighted Pistol template I could use? GTG is difficult since the weights are at the gym. Maybe I should just restart to 3 ladders of 3 rungs with a heavier weight? Or some kind of 3x5 three times a week? The RKC Book of Strength had a 3-times-a-week routine of weighted Pistols and Dynamic-Iso Pistols. Anything else that you guys would recommend? I've had a lot of difficulty finding ways to program weighted Pistols on the web.
Thank you so much for any help! I would just prefer a set-up that uses less volume so I can focus well on max tension.
