B) Technique/Strength – Building Pistol Strength (10 min max.)

Option 1 – if you do not have pistols:

This is different than a regular step up. Set yourself up with beside the box (not facing it). Heel is positioned close to the glute, high on a box (ideally close to the same position you would be in for the bottom of a pistol).

Option 2 – if you are close to pistols or have to hold your foot
3 x 3-5 (per leg) Use a 10# plate as a counter weight. Still work on keeping your back neutral and chest upright. Rest 90 seconds between sets.

Option 3 – if you have pistols

3 x 5-10 (per leg) with weight. Choose your own adventure with the weight. Rest 90 seconds between sets.
