ok, after the first week of the HFPSE (high frequancy pistol squat experiment

) I can say I'm quite satisfied:
now I perform the pistol a little bit fluently and max 5 reps (I've never do it before) but I've a little pain in the lumbar region, exactly in correspondence to the spine.
A question for the experts: is there a relationship between full squat and pistol? I mean: if one knows, for example, that his max squat is 240 lbs, could him calculate his max pistol with kettlebells and vie versa?
I hope I explained it well.
saluti.
