Pulling Pistols
Ladies and Gentlemen, to your pistols! Pistols are single leg squats and a humbling test of strength and flexibility for many. Single leg squats improve strength, coordination, and elicit an incredible total body contraction. We mixed in pistols, pull ups, and a prehabbing movement - extended inch worm - into the workout today.
In Fundamentals today, we worked on developing the kip swing for pull ups. New members and first timers Jay, Lauren, and Winslow took on the workout and were inpsiring to watch!
