I was always interested in pistol squats before starting this program, but I would always do them holding something, now I am just building the balance part, but the methodology I suggested is what I followed, in case it helps you out! Thanks for for tips on the pull ups, your doing great in your progress dude keep it up!! :)
Patrick whats your thoughts on the number of sets? Does it not consume too much time, my workout sometimes goes almost 1.75 hours, I am tight with time so I try to be creative. I think if your in your teens (14-23 years old) you have more time compared to being late 20s due to full-time work etc.Let me know how you have been going as some exercise almost have 6+ sets
It does consume quite some time, but my experience really is, that if you just prioritize correctly, and do not think about too many things, it becomes less stressful, but yes.. it usually takes about 1½-2 hours, doing the workout.
Level 8: Completed (again)
I decided to skip Jumping Squats and use more energy in my flexibility issues and improve my movement, towards doing "pistol squats negative".
I got injured on my shoulder and I badly bruised my tail bone... but all is well now! Took a one week break for my shoulder... my tail bone still hurts, but so will the rest of my body after I work out ;D! Can't wait to start up again!
Sounds good Jack, be careful with those breaks though, it can quickly become a very bad habbit, and you really will miss the feeling of being in the gym, even if it's hard to get down there.
I know what you mean. Getting out of the regular routine makes its hard to get back in. I'm just glad my shoulder got better so fast, and I never lost motivation.
That is good my friend
Level 9: Completed (again, this time, a little better)
I felt like I could perform slightly better this time in level 9, which of course makes sense, but isn't a given, so I am satisfied and very happy, I try to keep my progress going and I WILL complete level 10 next time.
Salute brothers
Daaaang it felt good working out again. Never again do I want to strain my shoulder... gosh it sucked
Good Jack! and keep it up Patrick
My first failure was the many many chin ups in level 11, so I´m back in level 7 and I hope I get the power to complete level 11 and to get stronger!

Eric, don't ever tell your self that you fail, you didn't you got another chance! that is how it is and how it will always be, nothing is failure, only experiences that will make your stronger and also, give you another chance at improving, but yes.. Level 11 is "intermidate" level, where 1-10 is "beginner", but gj! keep it up man!
Patrick how do you do your negative muscle ups??
The transition to the pullup position is legit impossible (going from above to below the bar) when i try it i just fall off haha its so hard to do the transition part slowly, althought i have relatively decent tricep strength its impossible for me to do the transition from the top to the bottom of the bar in a slow motion, i always fall
I watched the video 100 times but i find it impossible for me
Michael, use a resistance band, put your feet in that and use it to take off some weight.
