Pistol Squat – suspension assisted (TRX)
Pistol Squat – suspension assisted (TRX) allows deep single-leg work with a steady support line for control. You can scale it instantly by changing how much you "help" with the handles.
Instructions
Hold the suspension straps with both hands and stand on one leg. Extend the free leg forward. Sit down into a deep squat while keeping the chest upright and the knee tracking in line with the toes. Use the straps to assist balance and control. Push through the standing foot to return to the starting position.
Avoid Common Mistakes
• pulling excessively with the arms
• collapsing the knee inward
• losing tension in the straps
• dropping too fast into the bottom position
Variations
• with more or less assistance from the straps
• with limited depth
• with pause at the bottom
• slow controlled lowering
• alternating legs
