hey guys, so ive been thinking of starting unlateral leg work. the thing is that i have an ankle disabilty which makes a bit wobbly when it comes to standing on either one leg of staggered feet. Any ideas what i can do?? was thinking of bulgarian split squats with maybe holding onto a bar for stability…but than how do i increase resistance??
Assuming the ankle isn’t something that can be easily fixed then have you looked at
-
Supported Pistol Squats
- YouTubeHold a dumbbell in your free hand to increase load or wear a weight vest
-
Unilateral hip thrusts
DeFrancosGym.com - Exercise Index: Unilateral supine hip thrust (foot elevated) - YouTubeWith a barbell/ EZ-Bar across the thighs if necessary
For the split squats you could also try holding a DB in one hand while supporting with the other and/or a weight vest.
hip thrusts i can do…as for the pistols i will try stabilizing with one hand only but not certain how it will go…and the ankle isnt something that can be fixed :/…thanks for the quick reply…if any one else has more ideas they are welcome here.
