Partial Pistol Squat with Counter Weight

Begin by standing on one leg with the other leg extended in front of you, keeping your core engaged. Hold a counterweight (such as a kettlebell or dumbbell) with both hands in front of your chest to help maintain balance and assist with the movement. Lower your body slowly by bending the knee of the standing leg, pushing your hips back, and keeping your chest upright. Aim to lower yourself to a comfortable depth, typically around halfway down, before pushing through your heel to return to the starting position. Throughout the movement, focus on keeping your extended leg straight and avoid letting your knee collapse inward. The counterweight should help with balance and provide assistance, making it easier to control the descent and rise.
