  so is marco_simone in any way less fitter just because he does not have a 6 pac??
  
  6 pac is just a naive gauge of fitness.
  
  There is another vid of him in the same account doing 5 ledge pullups, i am sure he could do more though.
  
  Good work Marco!

  if he is right-legged...he should oso work with his left leg to get a balance..

  my left leg is stronger coz i played soccer when i was a kid.
  
  anyway,the one legged squat is NOT easy.I couldnt even do a half rep the first time i tried it.
  
  It LOOKS easy though.

  I can only do 5 a leg but i am slowly building it up from 0 start of last month.
  
  I heard those fit-f*cks from Russia can do 80+ a leg.And i am sure there are people who do 100 over a set.

  this is the side effect right? it places too much strain on the knee i believe.

  i think that jogging destroys your knees even worse.

  I tink fit and strong are too diff matters
  
  Aniway i feel that getting a nice shape and with 6 pac is more impt coz we train to look porportionate and nice to let ppl see ma

  I am sure my abs are more functional and stronger than those male models with an 8 pack even though they are,for now,covered by a thin layer of lard.
  
  10 pistols works your abs way more than 100 machine crunches.

  Fit should be judged by performance not looks.

  11 reps, nice work, and you weigh something like 90 kg? im around 85 and can only do 6 -7 on a good day.
  
  I heard that pistol squats are mainly for explosive leg power, so is it best to do them at the speed as shown in the video? i tend to do mine more slowly.
  
  damn they are hard too, when i started out, couuldnt even do 1 full rep, so i did partials and progessviely increase my ROM until i was able to do a full rep. these definitely work your core too, something has to keep you from toppling over when your moving up and down on one leg
  
  i also think that having a 6 pac is just a gauge of body fat levels, though those very muscular guys may have somewhat visible 6 pac with high bodyfat levels

  I wont say I am fit just because I can knock out pistols for multiple reps,but my coordination and balance is definitely way above the average person.
  
  a great site on the pistol
