Как сделать свой первый пистолет приседания, а затем еще 8
Эта программа дает вам все детали для каждого шага, пока вы не освоите свой пистолет приседаний с легкостью только через 10 недель.
Method
The first goal in this five step progression is to build up the mobility needed for the full squat.
This will be the key to your success with the more advanced skill you want to achieve at the end of this program.
If you still tend to fall backward in the bottom position of the full air squat or lose your balance otherwise, you should consider spending a few more weeks building up a proper full squat first. Allan Thrall posted a video on this.
Once you established a comfortable and stable stance at the bottom of the full squat, we will go through a four-step progression recommended by the Tapp Brothers. We are splitting the first phase in two and start with a supported air squat.
- Air Squat Full
- Chair Pistol
- Rail Pistol
- Elevated Pistol
- Pistol Squat
During two weeks you will build up to a few sets of 8 and then 10 repetitions for each stage.
This five step progression will systematically build up the following fitness factors:
- Flexibility
- Balance
- Coordination
- Rhythm
- Strength
Don’t rush through the phases. It’s always better to repeat the same once again until you feel ready to complete each repetition of each set smoothly and with perfect form.
In the first phases, you should repeat the same workout three times in a week or on every other day. Starting from the chair pistol you can reduce to two workouts per week. This should give your legs and especially the knees enough rest to recover for the next workout.
Do only start your next workout when you feel fully ready and well to perform such intensive exercises. Stop working out immediately in case you should feel any kind of pain.
You can skip a phase if it is obviously way too easy for you.
Program Structure
WEEK 1: Air Squat Full
Three Times Per Week: Supported Air Squat
Start building up the required mobility to perform the full squat.
Basic squat cues apply:
- stand shoulder width apart
- push the knees out
- sit your butt down
- keep your back flat
Build up to 3 sets of 8.
Rest 1 to 5 minutes between each set or as much as needed to feel completely ready for the next set.
WEEK 2: More Air Squat Full
Three times per week: Air Squat Full
Increase the repetitions per set to ten.
Build up to 3 sets of 10.
Rest 1 to 5 minutes between each set or as much as needed to feel completely ready for the next set.
WEEK 3: Air Squat Full Hold
Three times per week: Full Squats Hold
Hold the position at the bottom for 10 — 30 seconds on every repetition. Establish a stable comfort zone at the very bottom of your full squat.
Build up to 3 sets of 10.
Rest 1 to 5 minutes between each set or as much as needed to feel completely ready for the next set.
WEEK 4: Chair Pistol
Two times per week: Chair Pistols
Perform a negative pistol sitting down on a chair behind you and get back up the same way.
Build up to 3 sets of 8 (each leg).
Rest 1 to 5 minutes between each set or as much as needed to feel completely ready for the next set.
Starting from this phase you will reduce the number of workouts per week to two to give your legs and especially the knees enough recovery.
