Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Bodyweight Single Leg Squat with Support.
The bodyweight single leg squat with support is an assisted variation of the pistol squat where one hand holds onto a fixed surface for balance, allowing the lifter to focus on quad strength and hip mobility without the full balance demand. It serves as an effective progression toward the unsupported pistol squat.
The Bodyweight Single Leg Squat with Support is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
