What makes a pistol squat so great? The question should be what doesn't make a pistol squat so great, such are the lengths of its benefits!!! Unlike doing a heavy weighted back squat a pistol squat takes far more than just strength. To master the pistol squat you also need to have great flexibility, core strength, balance and, most importantly, the body needs to work together as a whole! This is the greatest aspect of bodyweight training, it is all about the body working together which is what happens day to day. We don't isolate muscles as we perform daily tasks, so it is beneficial to train this way as well.
