Box Pistols

Box Pistols with two large water bottles. 2 right, 2 left. One concentric only, one slow descent and explosive up.

Pavel: "Heavy weights. Low reps. Saying no to muscle failure. Practicing the lift one wants to excel at a lot and to the exclusion of other exercises."

Coach Summer:" Following is the progression on jumping pistols that I have my athletes use:
1) learn a regular pistol
2) add a stationary upward jump to the pistol
3) jumping pistol for distance
4) jumping pistol up onto a small box (approx 18-24")
5) jumping pistol for distance and up onto small box.
We perform these and other leg strength drills four times a week."
