Lever Pistol Squat

Muscles involved

Performing the Lever Pistol Squat allows you to target your quadriceps and glutes with incredible single-leg intensity. Utilizing a lever machine gives you the necessary guided support to isolate each leg effectively without the balance limitations of a free pistol squat. Awakening these key lower-body muscles pays massive dividends in your everyday activities. From effortlessly climbing steep stairs to standing up from low chairs or maintaining balance on slippery surfaces, the unilateral strength you develop translates straight to daily functional living. You build balanced power in both legs while keeping your knees and hips stable and resilient throughout your daily routine.

How to do it

1. Stand on one leg with the other extended forward. 2. Extend your arms forward to maintain balance. 3. Descend by bending the supporting knee as far as your mobility allows. 4. Rise to the starting position and repeat before changing legs.
