Score is the time on the clock when the 100th Pistol is completed.
Tips and Strategy
Switch legs every rep for pistols to keep the legs fresh. Knock out the pushups quickly so you can recover as you pistol squat. Find a regression for pistols if you cannot keep proper alignment with your knees and ankles.
Intended Stimulus
Big butt and leg burner here. Trying to get some squatting intensity and volume without weights.
Movement Standards
Pistol squats must go below parallel, Push-Ups must have chest touching the ground and arms locked out at the top.
Scaling
If Pistols are hard, find a tough progression that works for you. Add a counterbalance in your hands, start from a box, stand on a box, or sub for cossack squats.
