Pistol Squat: Technique, Progressions, and How to Get It From Scratch
Learn how to do the pistol squat step by step. Correct technique, muscles involved, common mistakes, and progressions from beginner to a full pistol squat.

Training consistently isn’t easy. Building the habit, dealing with setbacks, and progressing with intention takes more than just motivation. That’s why, in this update, we’ve introduced changes designed to give you more control, more structure, and less friction in the process.
Consistency doesn’t mean training nonstop. Vacations, injuries, and tough weeks are part of the journey.
You can now pause and resume your programs whenever you need, without losing your progress.
Paused programs are clearly marked in the details view, so you always know where you are and can pick things up again when the time is right.
More flexibility to adapt to real life, without undoing the work you’ve already done.
Progress usually doesn’t fail because of lack of information, but because of lack of consistency.
The 10’ Workout Challenge 2026 is designed to address exactly that
A 21-day challenge focused on doing the basics, doing them well, and repeating them. Because everyone can start, but not everyone sustains the effort.
For the first time, the challenge will be completely free for all users who complete it in real time over its 21 days.
A clear, time-bound opportunity to train alongside the entire community.
The challenge is built for people who want to start building the habit and for athletes who need an extra stimulus without adding more training hours.
