One Leg Squat Training Series

One Leg Squat Series.

AKA - The Pistol Squat

Imagine...standing between a narrow ravine, razor sharp rocks on both sides, the ground trembles as thousands of troops march your way, holding you up are two pillars of strength and defiance, your legs, the bulwarks with carry 299 of your comrades, the finest fighting force the western world has produced. 

Ready to stand beside a King who leads you into battle, with ultimate, unshakable & unceasing confidence in the warriors on either side of him...

Make no mistake you will die...
but death is not your primary concern, its how many of the enemy you will annihilate with sword, spear and shield, before you do, and for this task your going to needs legs capable of ultimate functionality.

In todays modern culture, functional development has taken a backseat,
the stationary visuals of the athlete are the primary focus, not the movement or exercises the athlete can perform, just the mass of the athlete.
Just the muscle.
But beneath the surface there is so much more which can be strengthened, other ways and types of strength which can be enhanced.  

Calisthenics allows an athlete to see the wood for the trees,
the wood being his or her own body weight as the primary instrument of strength & functional development.

"Functional Development"
Lets talk about that...

​

A

kitchen knife allows a person to cut, chop & slice,
but its not going to grate cheese very well. 

A philips screwdriver, is not designed for a flat head screw,
Just as a baker is not trained to build a house. 

There comes a point where muscle makes you less functional and hinders instead of helps.
Why?
Because there are other structures, systems & fibres in the body which get left behind.
Disharmony of these systems leads to injury and loss of function.

Calisthenics develops multi-functionality.

Isolation & weight machines exercises produce un-natural machine like movements.

Machine did not make man,
Nature did.

The further we move away from nature in regards to exercises the further we move away from ourselves.

Alot of the time I get clients & trainees asking me, "is everyone expected to get to the full one leg squat?"
The answer is simply "only those with reason to be the best"
Should you need the maximum functionality the one leg squat provides, every step is here,
BUT...
If that functionality is something you don't require, then the steps before are just as useful, for young and older athletes alike to still develop the leg and hip networks.

There seems to be a blind spot in modern gym and fitness culture which sounds something like this...
"Why would I want to do bodyweight squats, when I can do weighted squats, which incorporate my bodyweight as-well?"

After all when we train with weights for hypertrophy its much easier to see muscles being built in size over time.

With bodyweight exercises we are first developing mastery of the bodyweight alone, which...
1. Gives us a solid foundation before we jump into any weighted exercises.
2. Builds, not only muscle but strength which in the deeper networks of the body like, joints, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue.

We are building cohesion between the systems and parts together
Body weight exercises enhance and develop cohesion of more body parts together, than weighted isolation lifting, and Calisthenics movements can be also weighted.

​

But this does not work in reverse too well, the majority of muscle isolation gym exercises cannot be blended with calisthenics movement.
Because most are machine bound.

Then we have the free weights, named so because they are not tied to any machines and more possibilities are available...just as the free-weights have less limitations in terms of use and movement, bodyweight calisthenics offer nearly unlimited movement, offering the athlete the options of building the body & muscles, in positions the average gym goer simply cannot even get to.

This is one of the main reasons you will see different aesthetics on a bodybuilder vs a calisthenics, athlete.

The calisthenics athlete, because of more movement range and freedom can develop parts of the body...naturally...which are not commonly seen developed, due to lack of movement limitations.

Hence why Calisthenics & Gymnastics are viewed as more natural & artistic forms of strength training.

This is why Calisthenics & bodyweight movements are progressive.
