   Mercy! After the 300 yesterday I didn’t know if I could do it. But I said I was going to do what I could do and don’t do what I can’t do. Wasn’t pretty but I did better than I expected. Although, I did more surrender squats than pistols. The pistols I did do, I tried to assist with the other toe/heel. Tensing all the muscles on the way down in pistols is helpful. I don’t know why I wasn’t doing it before. But my balance is still an eternal work in progress. I used my 10 lb dumb bell for the punches. I didn’t do all the reps but I am proud of what I did. A challenge for sure.

   Weird, the ninja jumps are no problem for me, although I can’t really do a proper pistol squat… modified the whole wo accordingly with jump squats instead and did 3 rounds.

   Fun workout! When I first started working out with you, ten years ago or so, I could not do the pistol squats. They really hurt my knees. I’ve been doing your workouts consistently now for 1 year and my mobility has improved so much, which has helped me be able to do pistol squats, among so many other challenging exercises. Thanks for giving us such a comprehensive program that improves strength, flexibility and mobility.

   Hey, Zuzka! I’ve been practicing pistols for a month. I can get down without losing my balance (unassisted) and I can maintain this position, but I can’t get back up unless I’m practicing on the couch.

   I think I have good mobility so maybe the problem is lack of strength in my legs? How do I fix this? My progress sort of stalled.

     Have you tried to use momentum? If you have a good mobility than you can practice getting up from the roll back. Basically you just go down in Pistol, roll on on your back and then roll forward onto your foot and use the momentum to stand up. If you want to see what it looks like than check out the workout breakdown in Guns & Pistols #11 where I show and explain this exercise.

       YES! It worked, thank you so much, Zuzka. I gave it couple of tries and actually managed to do it – very clumsily and only once, but there’s a lot of room for progress now. Have a great day! xx

     If you can get all the way down then it seems like mobility is not the issue. Maybe your motor control needs to be worked on. I would suggest you to use momentum and what also helps is to hold weight infant of you. Try the Roll Back Into Pistol exercise that I did in Guns & Pistols #11

   Most fun workout in a long time and a welcome, fun addition to the Guns and Pistols series. Loved it! Added a few more reps per round and did handstand push-ups instead of wall planks but otherwise followed the workout as written.

   15:27, I’m also still trying to master the pistol for 1 and 5, I have to hold my extended foot with the arm on the same side to balance and keep from falling over and for 3, I held a 10lb weight. This is on my list to perfect, so keep them coming!

   ex1 -10 reps, ex2 – 6reps, ex4 – 10/10, ex5 – 4 taps – in both round. I did this one after Control&Cardio 7 to feel this extra cardio and burn 💪🏽

    Hi Zuzka, I’m dripping in my sweat 😂😅💦. My pistol squats were good but I’m still using heel support 😌. The squat punches were intense with the 15lbs DB.🥵 Anyways, it was an awesome wo! 🥰Thank you 🙏 & Happy Tuesday! 🌻🌿😘🧡✨
