How do I progress from squats to a pistol squat? | You Deserve Well

How do I progress from squats to a pistol squat?

Work through box squats, split squats and step-downs, then assisted pistols holding a support, and finally a controlled single-leg lowering to a box. Strength and ankle and hip mobility both matter.

It usually takes months. Stay patient and progress only when the current step feels smooth and pain-free.
