  11 reps, nice work, and you weigh something like 90 kg? im around 85 and can only do 6 -7 on a good day.
  
  I heard that pistol squats are mainly for explosive leg power, so is it best to do them at the speed as shown in the video? i tend to do mine more slowly.
  
  damn they are hard too, when i started out, couuldnt even do 1 full rep, so i did partials and progessviely increase my ROM until i was able to do a full rep. these definitely work your core too, something has to keep you from toppling over when your moving up and down on one leg
  
  i also think that having a 6 pac is just a gauge of body fat levels, though those very muscular guys may have somewhat visible 6 pac with high bodyfat levels

  a test was done on a female model and she had 30% bodyfat although she LOOKED very skinny.I swear i am not making this up!

  Women have more body fat than males anyway, so 30% isn't too surprising. The hard bodies, which I find way more sexy, will of course have less body fat. Oh, and of course those sexy victoria secret kittens...MMMmmm...Adiana and Alessandra...I can only dream...
  
  Aaaanyway, pretty impressive pistols. I don't think I have the balance or hip/hamstring flexibility to do it on the floor now, maybe on a box or something. I've been neglecting my single leg training all this while until recently when I switched from barbell deads to single leg dumbbell deads.

  are you doing something like ladders or grease the groove to increase reps quickly?

  Dont think that's possible coz just realised my digicam video max duration is only 30 seconds.
  
  Anyway,I just came back from the gym and did multiple sets of pistols for the first time in my life.
  
  I did 5 sets of 6 reps. During one of the sets,I sorta lost concentration and lost my balance as a result.
  
  This is one exercise that demands intense concentration.I highly recommend it for those looking to develop total body strength,conditioning,balance and coordination.

  I do one legged squats instead coz people say bodyweight exercises are the easiest to do.Since it's a bodyweight movement,it is a lot easier to perform for weak people like me...After all,.
