Single-Leg Low Box Squat
The pistol squat down to a low box; the box caps the depth and catches a failed rep.
How to do it
Setup
On one leg before a low box, arms forward, the free leg straight out.
Steps
- Sit back and down on one leg to the box.
- Touch the box without relaxing.
- Stand on the same leg, arms reaching forward.
Common mistakes
Rocking off the box to stand: lean forward and push through the heel. Free foot touching down: keep it up. Box too low to control: raise it until each rep is clean.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
