How to do a Pistol Squat (Banded, Eccentric, Heel Raised)
Place a small plate, or some other object on the ground. Place your heel on the plate and stand on one leg with your arms reached out in front of you holding onto a band with one hand. The smaller the band the less help it will provide. Sit your hips back and bend the knee of the leg on the floor. Make sure your other leg (the lifted one) stays straight out in front of you. Aim to sit your hamstring onto your calf. Place your other leg back onto the floor, stand back up, and repeat.
