@madscientistofmuscle: Barbell Pistol Squats - this is an excellent way to do the Pistol exercise with some weight that can actually help you balance while you're using it. Holding a bar out in front while you come down into the bottom of the exercise is kind of like how a tight rope walker uses a long bar for balance. Only this bar is 45 lbs... which also works your front delts and lower traps (they lock down the scapulae while you're holding it up). You need to be strong enough in the legs and in the upper body to hold the weight (you can use dumbbells or a lighter bar like an EZ bar as well) but it's a great method for making the actual performance of the exercise, ironically enough, a bit more doable. The exercise is performed the same way as normal with that bar in front being the only difference. It's a challenging exercise. The barbell here helps counterbalance your torso so that your ankles don't need to be quite as mobile in the bottom (my big issue). When you're doing just bodyweight, you need to have excellent ankle mobility so that you can lean more forward. The nice thing about this one for legs is that if and when you hit failure, all you have to do is sit on the floor (which I did). #madscientistofmuscle #pistolsquat #pistolsquats #singlelegsquat #singlelegsquats #weightedpistolsquat #pistolsquatexercise

Unc, I’ve been heavy squatting for the last 4 years with no knee problems. About a month ago, I finished a top set and took off my knee sleeves to some severe pain near the patellar area. It still hasn’t gone away after 4 weeks. What should I do? I was hoping to hit 500lbs in the next few months but I can’t even squat 135 without pain

This kills your athleticism and will make you injury prone as an athlete.

Why is the difference of strength between my right and left leg is too much? Especially on pistol sqauts I literally feel pain on my left and way harder but my right leg it is so easy and painfree. Like I can do probably 4x with the right compared to the left leg
