Jumping Pistol Squat
From the bottom of a pistol squat, jump off the one leg and land back into the pistol; only for those who own a clean pistol.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg, the other held out straight in front, arms reaching forward.
Steps
- Sink into a controlled single-leg squat.
- Drive up and leave the floor off the one leg.
- Land on the same foot and ride it down into the next pistol.
Common mistakes
Trying it before the pistol is solid: master the slow single-leg squat first. Crashing into the bottom on the landing: meet the floor with a bent knee and ride it down. Heel lifting on the catch: land on the whole foot, knee over the toes.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
