[@JamesCobbMusic]

This is really useful thanks!

[@kauseway]

I love the way you break down these movements. I am stuck on the eccentric. Cant get up.

[@PaulTwyman]

Thanks! Eccentrics and partial range will help

[@jake-watkins]

This is great stuff. Pistols are frustrating. I know I have the strength, but the mobility, balance and agility have a room for improvement. These are great drills to help.

[@PaulTwyman]

Great to hear! for the mobility I'd recommend visiting the positions as often as possible

[@Fedor1174]

Круто!

[@SashaStreams]

Nice, thanks. Going to try this. Toe stretches would be good for ankle mobility too

[@PaulTwyman]

Great ! Yes toe stretches

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

Great tips Paul. For me I would hold onto a fixed support for the eccentric and concentric, and then try lessening how much I'm holding on with my hands over time. This is a great exercise for highlighting imbalances in the hips and legs; my right side was weaker so as I tried to come up the straight leg would turn to the side. But lots of practice and the sides balance out.

Thanks

[@cameronmunden9415]

Great video Paul, been thinking is there progressions like for the other moves. Is that you’re knee clicking every time you go into squat? My knee clicks like that 😮

[@SashaStreams]

Oh my gosh.. Didn't notice. Can't stop hearing the clicks now! 🙉😆

[@PaulTwyman]

Yeah 😂 my knees have clicked since I was a kid. I normally take the sound out of the vids but keeping it real on this one

[@ScuffyTheDog]

I don't have a piece of wood. Can I just use some plates for elevation?

[@PaulTwyman]

Yes definitely. Anything that raises the heel
