Sunday I took the dog to the lake for some swimming. While kicking around with her I decided to bide my time by doing push-up and bodyweight pistols. BW Pistols are not something I practice often so I thought a perfect opp to do so.
First I did 6 per leg on the dirt surface and then I found a log that bowed in the middle and was a off balance, a challenge. So I practiced doing the pistols on the log, 8 reps per leg, including some pauses and negatives. I even hoped from one to the other (i.e. out of a pistol and into a pistol).
I waas pleased with my strength and my balance and the fact that I could hope. I saw Yoana do this recently at a Mike Mahler Seminar and knew that I had to take the challenge....I need to practice these.
One thing is for sure, my "core" strength is way up and coming along fast!
