QUADS

Pistol Squat

AdvancedBodyweight

The pistol squat is a single-leg squat that demands serious balance, mobility, and leg strength. Working one leg at a time hits the quads, glutes, and hamstrings while forcing you to stabilize, which makes it a top-tier movement for building unilateral lower body strength and control.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Stand tall with your feet about hip width apart.

  2. 2

    Shift your weight onto your right leg and lift your left foot off the floor with the knee straight.

  3. 3

    Hinge at the hips and bend your right knee to lower into the squat, arms reaching forward for balance.

  4. 4

    Descend until your right thigh is parallel to the ground, keeping the left foot raised.

  5. 5

    Drive through the right leg to extend the hip and knee back to standing.

  6. 6

    Repeat on the other leg.
