Annie! WOW! I watch a LOT of “how to/progression” videos on my specific deficiencies! This is one of the MOST articulate videos I have ever seen! You explain everything from the movement itself, progressions, which muscles are getting utilized, where core and balance come in and even explaining concentric/eccentric portions of movement. A lot of people are not familiar with those terms so those explanations are invaluable! You speak well. Video length perfect. I would love to see more like this! Don’t forget to say good bye at end or see you next time. Please consider a muscle up or chest to bar one before next week I am sure it’s coming for the next open WOD! Again, thank you! Well done!
This is the best explanation how to be able to do my 1st pistol. I'm not an affiliate to any gym, I do crossfit at home. And this definitely will help!
I love this! Great explanations for beginners all the way to actually doing them. Would love to see you do one for pull-ups, I am a beginner and just cant seem to get them.
This is By FAR the best Pistol Squat Progression on the Internet! It gives me hope to get my first Pistol Squat. Thank you, Annie!! You are an amazing Athlete and Coach!!!
I can do multiple body weight & weighted pistol squats (my last session 50lb dumbbell for several reps). My only advice is to start from the BOTTOM up. Be comfortable sitting in an atg squat position. Be comfortable doing paused atg squats (ass to grass, where your hamstrings touches your calves). When comfortable using two legs (again start from the bottom atg position), stick one leg out front (still touching the ground), and just try to squat up w/ one leg. The hardest part of the movement is getting up from the bottom.
Thanks Annie!!! =) You are the BEST!!! ;) The explaination is so DETAILED and straight forward anyone and try do it. The progression tips and advise is going to HELP me reach to the NEXT level!!! =D The BONUS is the pro tips?!?! Things we not even AWARE of?!?! You are AWESOME!!!... ;)
The hip hinge was the thing I've been missing...and probably why my knees get so sore when trying a pistol squat. I think that there's no way pistol squat will ever happen without good hip and ankle mobility, which I need to work on both.
Annie Thorisdottir I got 30 pistols!!!!!! I used the step into it technique and it worked! Cleaned 145 twice but legs were jello and couldn’t get it overhead. I’m so happy tho!
Thanks for the great video Annie !! I was never able to do a pistol before and after watching this, I was able to do all 90reps in 20.4 (with a few no reps 😅)
This is absolutely smashing - great explanation, especially the progression part! Looking forward to more videos like this one with other movements as well. Would love a similar video for Double Unders!
wow! interesting video, Annie! I used to do pistols squats (I was younger)))...now, when I squat, my balance is like a drunken cow on an ice rink...looked your advice, decided to learn again (I did not even think about the different types of squats at the initial stage) thank you!!!
I have problem with pistol in the lowest position my quad of straight leg always very tight so it's very uncomfortable to push body up and keep raising the leg for not touch the ground
You mention pistol squats. Truly impossible for me. No problem down to knee just over 90 degree angle. From there I just fall to the ground and have absolutely no pushback from that floored position. It's like I lack a whole muscle group. Which muscles should activate the push up from that bottom position?
I can do the pistols elevated. But w when I'm on the floor the quads of my raised leg start to cramp up. So is this a mobility issue and not so much a strength issue? And more importantly, how do I fix it?

Crossfit is a joke! You're not the fittest in the world. Stop deluding yourselves. The fact that I have Rich Froning beat in the 400 meter dash by 7 full seconds at over 20lbs heavier is really funny. You can't call yourselves fit if nobody within your community has evidence of a 57 second or faster 400 at bodyweights over 190. I have a vid of me doing 53 at 6'0 and 214 on my page. Froning is 5'11 and 195 or so and has a 1:00 PR in the 400. You all can't compete with me. Here's a challenge to anyone within the crossfit world to see if you can run a 53 second 400 meter dash at bodyweights over 190lbs. I'll give you a 24 pound advantage because most of you aren't above 210. Not one crossfit person on this entire planet can run a 400 meter dash faster than 53 seconds at over 190 pounds bodyweight. It all goes by bodyweight. This is why the average Olympic mens 400 meter dash body weight is only 157 pounds. Even a 10 pound increase in bodyweight will slow your time by seconds. Olympic decathletes can't even compete with me because they are only 172-195. Trey Hardee is 6'5 and 210, but if I were 6'5 I would have been 245. That's pencil neck weight for that height. That's why a height factor comes into this. All you have to do to shut me up is prove to me that you're fitter than I am. Show me a 53 second or better 400 meter dash at bodyweights over 190. If it were this easy then you would have thousands of you doing this over 190 or even 200. Yet not one single crossfit person in the world can come close to 57 at over 190 let alone 53 at over 190 or let alone 53 over 210 pounds. Dan Bailey doesn't count because he ran his 47 at 165lbs in college. He will come nowhere near 47 at 200 pounds, which is the weight that he's at now. ..... If anyone can beat 53 then post your video as well as current lifting videos so we can get an idea of your weight. Bigger, faster, stronger, FITTER, and HOTTER than you all. ..... The 400m at heavy bodyweights is one of the biggest indicators of overall fitness. If you can't run below 57 at bodyweights over 190 then you're not fit. Sucks when real athletes and real jocks show you all up huh?? Denial sucks huh???
This is the best explanation of how to execute and progress to pistols I have come across! Thanks so much 😊
Agree! very helpful

This is a fantastic series of progressions from beginner to expert. Thank you very much!
This it spot on @AnnieThorisdottir ...SPOT ON! Thanks very much.
Thank you for the video I am a 57 year old male still trying to do my first pistol.
Thanks Annie! I can actually see how it is possible to do these now with those progressions. I going to give this a go!
Great tutorial Annie!
Incredible progressions! Thank you so much for your help! I got my first pistol!!!! Can't wait to keep working on them now.
That makes me so happy! Congrats!

I’m sure you will, just find out what the limiter is (strength, mobility, balance or coordination) and get to work! :).
@@TheDottirs you TOTALLY ROCK! Thanks again. I'm actually really looking forward to working on these now. Thanks to you!
This progression is super helpful. Thanks Annie!
Really well explained! Keep them coming!!!

this was so helpful!
I wish you all the best things!🙏❤
Amazing video !!!!!!!! Couldn’t be explained any better !!!!!!! Love it
Thank you! I’m glad you like it
Great video, on breaking down and progress through the pistol!
Thank you, I finally learnt a pistol after practicing this for a month
💯awesome! Great progression steps & tips. Thanks Annie!
Thanks Annie for the tips, much appreciated.
The hip hinge was the thing I've been missing...and probably why my knees get so sore when trying a pistol squat. I think that there's no way pistol squat will ever happen without good hip and ankle mobility, which I need to work on both.
Great information Annie thank you! Love your vids and love watching you in the CF games!
I’m subscribing to your channel! This was the best tutorial I’ve ever seen on pistols. Thank You!
Love your technique ❤
Truly great coaching.. now I feel if I practice I can get pistols😃
Thank you for the tips!!! I have a feeling I'll finally be able to do pistols in the near future now.
Thanks, Annie. I'm crushing with this series!
Thank you Annie for helping us. I find it also helps doing a lot of ankle mobility.
This I was very helpful, I’m hoping to get my first unassisted pistol today during 20.4!
Let me know how it goes :)

This is my session tomorrow sorted 😁
I have problem with pistol in the lowest position my quad of straight leg always very tight so it's very uncomfortable to push body up and keep raising the leg for not touch the ground
Can be both. I would make sure my hamstrings are nice and loose before - as well as getting your hip flexors firing properly

Progres explanation from the most beautifull crossfit women on erth
Greatins from argentina
For someone who can't do a pistol at all, how many times a week do you recommend to practice?
You can do progressions every day! Lots of things to work on. You can never squat too often.
@@TheDottirs awesome! Thank you for taking time to respond 😊
