Krista, it would be super cool if you’d demo a pistol squat for the inflexible, aspiring mid 40s among us that just can’t get there. Even the “modified” version is hard (I think mostly because of hip and hamstring tightness). How should we elevate? How would the first learning phase of a pistol look for someone like me (mid fortys and tight as a rubber band)?
Patrick, I’d definitely recommend working on the modified versions along with your hamstring flexibility which is probably the biggest reason you’re having trouble with them right now. These stretches should help get you started: https://kr15ta12ma.wpengine.com/stretches-for-tight-hamstrings/
