Build the Movement: Pistol Squat & Hollow Body Hold
Axel breaks the pistol squat and hollow body hold down into their essential parts, layering joint prep, mobility, and controlled strength progressions to build real ownership of each position.
This session is all about learning two powerhouse movements: the pistol squat and the hollow body hold, from the inside out.
Axel breaks each movement down into its essential components, layering joint prep, mobility work, isometric holds, and controlled strength progressions to help you build true ownership of the positions. You won’t rush the reps. Instead, you’ll spend time developing ankle and hip integrity for the pistol squat, and deep core engagement and spinal control for the hollow hold.
By strengthening the joints and connective tissue first, you create stability before intensity, leading to cleaner mechanics, better balance, and more resilient strength.
This is smart training for athletes, lifters, and anyone who wants to move with precision, control, and confidence.
This workout does not include a full cool-down & stretch, but we have some great options here!

I really like these classes by Axel, mainly for all of the prep work to get you ready for the strength work. I can't do a pistol squat without the TRX due to my knees, and mostly keep my heel down when squatting (lifting when I come up). I did this one yesterday, and my quads, calves and ankle area was really sore! I could have used more stretching for the top of the foot, but if I continue to work on my yoga "up dogs" that helps a lot.
