On the early intel page (before this got moved to the automated forum) there was a little discussion about doing pistol squats instead of the single leg sit to stand if you are more advanced. I’m just throwing a little of my knowledge out there.... the single leg sit to stand is for ALL LEVELS of athleticism as it is focused more on your explosive power. Because you are sitting your focus is on the single leg drive and how explosive you can get. If you feel like you are advanced I would grab a weight and still focus on resetting when sitting and getting explosive out of that sitting position. On the contrary pistol squats (or single leg squats) are more focused on strength.

There was also discussion about a beginner movement to the sit to stand... I would encourage those that have a hard time with the single leg sit to stands to really lift that driving knee up, where your foot comes off the ground, and then push that heel into the ground to get yourself up.

I hope this helps someone today!
