OMG! T-nation got something right!

I can't believe this degraded into a grammar discussion.

Look, as much as you want to agree with this guy yomon, you already meet what I would guess are his prerequisites. I can do 20 pushups, and the relevance of pistols to squats is very debatable.all he's saying is if you're a fat out of shape slob that can't do a couple pushups, you got no business in the weight room, and he's right about that.

I read your comment on the t-nation article, saying you could do 4 pistol squats each leg

My squat is reasonably weak I'll admit, yet I can do 10 pistol squats, each leg, and at that point they are getting difficult but I could do more if I had to. Furthermore, I believe my quads are weaker than my posterior chain as my squat, esp. front squat, has always been proportionately far weaker than my deadlift. Plus when running stairs, my quads seem to have a very low lactic threshold. So with my weak squat, and weaker quads, why would this be? Am I misinterpreting your numbers (I saw another guy only say he could do 8 though), is it coming down to other factors such as balance or am I somehow cheating with bad form? I hold my arms straight out ahead for balance, and I do the movement in a controlled fashion without bouncing. I am forced to round my back at the very bottom (I go literally ass to ankles) but I don't see how this would affect it.

Just wondering...

Haha, mate, my weights are hopeless. My coach has been upping my wrestling volume (including running stairs etc) and so I squeeze in a shitty weights session when I can. I can't handle much volume, and that's when I even get round to doing weights

BUT in 1 weeks time I'll have a few months before next competition so I will hit the weights hard. I'll have to have a big sit down and plan out something solid. I'll probably post here too with my situation and see what ideas you guys can throw my way
