Is it realistic to try to master all three at the same time or should they be mastered serperately? Dear John

After a month of that I realized I was overtraining, so I stated doing pistol assist 5 x 5 twice and all in one session as this is a set/rep scheme a lot of weightlifters swear by. I still haven't mastered the exercise. I beleive that I've been stumped by three problems: poor technique,fluctuating bodyweight and a gut that hurts my range of motion. To solve the problemof technique I'm going to follow your instructions to the letter. You said you practiced everyday but didin't say in the written version how many times a day you practiced plus this library computer doesn't have audio. Can you tell me how many times a day you practiced this exercise? Also any advise on weight loss? Dear John

For instance, if you can do the eccentric portion (even with a little assistance, like holding onto a railing, etc.), then I'd say your anywhere from 2-4 months away, even at your weight. Hi Will,

Well, I'm 5'10" and weigh 235 lbs. What can I probably expect for duration? I mastered 200 regular squats before I started practicing 2 months ago. Dear John
