can anyone do a pistol?
how about land a one arm snatch (DB but BB would be cooler) in a pistol?
vid?
(i’ve never seen this. i’m working on it but pistols are hard for me given balance issues)
someone does a 1-legged overhead squat in this vid:
yes, around 10 minutes in.
catch a snatch there, though??
(and stand it up, of course)
and one arm. holding the barbell with one arm.

Yep I can do a pistol. I can hit a double while holding a 40kg kettlebell on the side of the working leg. NO carry-over to actual olympic lifting, none whatsoever. This one-arm pistol snatch “skill” is NOT going to get you laid! Stick to the classical lifts.

One legged body squat. I can do it with both legs.

I can when I hold onto something; it’s called a leg raise.
Alright, enough smart assing.
After my foot surgery last January:
Gotta stay up on these or I lose this skill quick.
What you up to, Alexus?

Typically a small, handheld gun.
nice, snapper!
i have missed you.
this year turned out to be a fairly inefficient use of my time. learned a bunch but…
i’ve gotten fatter and weaker and less technically proficient. never did manage to locate a woman’s bar and turns out people are more into playing than training. nobody i can trust to coach me properly.
i think my next move is going to be bjj. turns out there are 3 schools within walking distance of where i’ve moved to (moved back to the city and quit the course). one in particular seems pretty big and they require you to buy a gi and offer beginners technique drilling classes 3x per week (aka: they teach it properly).
just need a month or so to get my finances in order.
then i’ll start a log over on over 35 if you guys will let me (just turned 34 so nearly there)
miss this place heaps.
One arm BB snatches are fun, but I can’t imagine why anyone would try catching it on one leg. That’s a recipe for pain and horrific injury, if you ask me.
I think I’ll try it tomorrow!
that’s the spirit 
i think the idea is ‘because one can’.
except that it will probably take a bit of work to get to that point…
i’ve never seen anybody do it, though. would be a cool signature move (perhaps).
