Andrew has a warm up and cooldown article on the main site. I've found I recover better when I add the cooldown to my workout.

Here it is: http://www.pure-dedication.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&Itemid=76

  I didn't see it! 

Theoretically your "working leg" will be under the same tension in a pistol squat as it would be in a bilateral squat where you loaded the bar to your bodyweight + 2x the weight you used for the pistol squat. For example:

BW is 180lbs
Pistol 100lbs
Theoretical tension equivalent = 180 + 2x100 = 380lbs squat

thanks 

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.

I'm definitely a two leg jumper!!
I've got a good mastery with all the drills you posted.
thanks fot the tips.

are you speaking about regular squat or pistol squat?

about pistol, it will be my best friend for the next month; I've no other chances for the moment.

nah that should be fine.. if its bodyweight stuff, then it doesnt matter at all how often you throw it in there.. if it's weight's, i'd keep the volume low and just do one set of push and one set of pull following squat, two days per week.. i mean you could actually do high frequency with upper body, but i wouldn't do that if im doing high freq with squat.

 ;)I don't mean do it high frequency but just 2-3 times a week;

I was thinking to do high frequency squat for 5 days a week and a plyometric session the day after, but I'm confused about which ones should I do, and how to dispose them into the session
thanks man

ook;
I can perform 3 reps of pistol with the 20 kgs kettlebell; do you think it could be better, for the maximal strenght, one top set with this weight instead of 5 or more reps with a lower kettlebell?
thanks

ok, thanks 
I ask for this because for the next 2 months I can't go to the weights room so I considered to increase my streght only at home with kettlebells; then I found your article about the HFSE and I wonder if I could combine the two things together. 

Hey men,
first of all congratulations for the competence; I appreciated the articles you wrote.
