No! There are many ways to modify this exercise. Also, we do the pistol squat much less than you may be thinking during this program! If you are in need of ways to modify, watch our intro video and also check out our Pistol Squat Regressions video here on the app. You can find it under 'Form x Function' > Calisthenics

Not necessarily, get creative! As long as we are training movement patterns to a degree where it is challenging (while good form is maintained) then we are golden! For example, I use barbells during most of the lifts in order to show how to do the exercise in that way. If you don't have access to a barbell or it is simply too much weight, then just hold your weight in the form of dumbbells, kettlebells, etc.

I have had noticeable improvements in the ease and power in my tricking - which is saying a lot after 17+ years in the game! While this is not skill training, it will train your strength, power and mobility in ways that make your skills easier.

* The workouts are designed for all levels * Beginners: go slow, use less weight, use longer rest periods, and focus on form * Advanced: increase weight, reps and reduce rest time as you progress

* Yes! I’ve included modifications in the descriptions for each exercise. If you need further assistance modifying any workouts, send me a message in the app and I’ll be happy to help!
