The touchdown progression is my favorite way to slowly improve your single leg squat quality & depth. While not everyone will be capable of a FULL DEPTH pistol squat, we all have the capability to do a quality single leg squat off at least a 12 inch height stack of plates. . The reason this progression is so helpful is that it requires you to focus on control & balance.

The touchdown single leg squat is KEY for strong & stable knees! This is why so many of my patients with knee pain find dramatic results with it as a part of a comprehensive rehab program. Just scale it to a height that’s pain free and build up as possible! A good goal for most is a 12” height box or stack of plates for a set of 10 reps!

The single leg box squat or touchdown is one of the most important assistant exercise for any athlete. Everyone should be capable of performing this, even those who cannot perform a full pistol squat. Today I’m performing a weighted version of this exercise by holding a kettle bell starting on a 12 inch box and then moving up to an 18 inch box. As you squat down, keep your knee in line with your feet. Often athletes will start their descent and allow their knee to waver inward. This is a clear s

Squat University on Instagram: "Can you single leg squat? If not, you’re likely not optimizing your balance, control and strength production when you do squats with 2 legs on the ground! . This does NOT mean everyone needs to full pistol squat. But a partial depth single leg squat off a box or stack of plates (called a touchdown) is essential! .

So you just finished some heavy squats…what do you do next? One of my favorite assistant exercises is the single leg RDL performed with a barbell or a kettlebell in one hand…but what if this is too difficult?🤔 . Let’s regress back to a more simple version of the single leg movement with shoes off to work balance and coordination. Grab the ground with your foot, big toe jammed down. Brace your core and kick your heel back as you tip forward entirely about the hip. Hold for a few seconds before c

If you struggle with foot stability, here’s an exercise that can be helpful. Place a small resistance band over your ankle pulling across your body. Assume a single leg stance, jam your big toe down and grab the ground with your entire foot. If you can, make an arch in your foot and don’t let it falter as you tip your body over into the final position before balancing for a few seconds. If you can’t make an arch, just think about keeping your bodyweight evenly spread across all three points of t
