Why full body programming may suit you better: 1. We all have busy lives, and not everyone prioritises their workouts. If for whatever reason you miss one of your two days (e.g illness or working overtime), you will be missing a whole muscle group out with it. So better to plan full body sessions so to lessen the imbalance. 2. If you were to do a “Leg day” session, that could be 4-5 lower body exercises in one session. You could be so fatigued by the first 2 exercises that you struggle to keep up the intensity for the next exercises. Try supersetting an upper body move with a lower body one, to allow for more sufficient rest. 3. It’s a bit of a misconception that you need to leave your sessions crawling out to see progress. There are more than enough studies showing that if you spread the same amount of volume over the course of a week you will actually get the same results than squeezing them all into one day. If your DOMS are so bad you’re less likely to perform well the following days.

Struggling with your pistol squat? Make sure you understand these 3 things whilst working towards it… 1. Flexibility and Mobility: Adequate flexibility in your ankles, hips, and hamstrings is necessary to get into the deep squat position without losing balance or falling backward. E.g. Good ankle dorsiflexion, for the working leg to keep balance and allow for depth. Sufficient hamstring flexibility for other leg to remain straight. 2. Single Leg Strength: You need strong quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and core stability to control both the descent and ascent in a pistol squat. The leg doing the squat bears your full body weight, so significant lower body strength is essential. 3. Specific practice: You could have a super heavy back squat but it does necessarily mean you will be able to do a full pistol squat. It is a skill and therefore needs dedicated practice for the mechanics.
