Single-leg squat (right) ► assisted pistol squat

Partner work

The trainees stand frontally facing each other in a one-legged stance and each hold the partner's free (left) leg with one hand at hip height. They hold each other with the other hand. The partners bend and stretch the standing leg simultaneously (lower and raise the upper body).

Lighten:
Bend the supporting leg less.

Harden:
Additional weight (on the shoulders); unstable support for the supporting leg.
