Hi all
I have been playing around with pistols to make up for not being able to get to the gym for heavy back squats.
Weird thing i have been trying on the floor and falling on my but a lot but yesterday we went up to the park with the wee one, there is a few bollards up there so i thought i would give it a bash, managed to pull off a few reps with both legs something which i haven't been able to do but the minte i tried it on the floor again it isn't working, i can't push myself up with left and i fall on my butt every time with the right, whats going on???

Perhaps because when you are on the bollards you are allowing your non-pistol leg to hang down a little and go below the level of your pistol leg?
And of course this is not possible when you are on the floor...

I would say that is 100% the reason.... Hamstring/Hip flexors
"The idiots are self regarding consumer slaves oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waistbands below their balls. They babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool e-mail of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity, hail the rise of the idiots!"

"Don't get hung up on the stopwatch or times, or even weight lifted, think about technique, technique, technique and listening to your body. You will not perform better every session and that is set in stone. Test your self every month keep a written journal not just a forum, a place where you can keep personal notes that you can read to motivate yourself. Don't compare yourself to others when you are working out and likewise do not think that you are already fit as fcuk!!! As someone will always be in front and behind you, ultimate confidence in your abilities yes, but arrogance no, there is a fine line.
But most of all do the things you hate above the things you like or are good at, this will make you a better athlete. Save the things you like for recreational sessions. But ultimately enjoy it, even when you hate it! And finally remember the mind will always give in before the body!"
Here endeth the lesson.
