#1 Exercise for Athletic Development – Regressions and Progressions

In Part 1 we revealed what the #1 Exercise was for Elite Athletic Development, in todays article we will break down our top regressions to build up to a beast pistol squat and some tough progressions once you’ve master the regular pistol squat!

Regressions

Many athletes can’t just perfectly do a pistol squat right off the bat, so that’s wh ywe created some regressions to really focus on building up the specific mobility and strength to handle a pistol squat! Typically there is either a lack of ankle mobility, hip stability or understanding of proper weight transfer that holds you back from being able to perform a pistol squat. 

Here are our Top 3 regressions to get you comfortable in the pistol postition while building better ankle mobility, hip stability and weight transfer development!

Progressions

The toughest part is just mastering the basic pistol but once you get that down, there are a ton of fun progressions to try out!! You can either add some unstable objects like a bosu or a beam. Or you can really progress it and add in some extra weight!

Here are our top 3 progressions to really amp up your pistol performance!

If you have any questions or are having trouble still mastering your pistol squat after trying the regressions send us a message and we can help out! Sometimes it takes some more specific ankle or hip work to be able to unlock your pistol squat!
