Do you want to learn how to do the full pistol squat?
First, let’s get used to hanging out in a deep squat. This will increase our ankle mobility, which we will need to get our knee comfortably past our toes when we do a pistol squat.
If you can’t do a full deep squat yet, place your heels on an inclined surface and work your way lower over time.
Next, we can do single leg squats by squatting down and bringing one knee behind us without touching the ground.
Now, let’s do some negatives. Using a table or a bar for assistance, let’s do a full negative of a pistol squat. And instead of trying to press back up, come all the way down and bring your feet together to stand up normally. As this gets easier, remove the assistance and do a full pistol squat negative, again by lowering down and then standing up with both feet.
So we’re getting closer, and now it’s time to work the full range of the pistol squat. Using something for assistance, lower down and press back up by driving the heel into the ground to get you back up.
Add these together and you’ll be doing pistol squats in no time.

This is all helpful and I bet many would like to read it, but as another moderator suggested it here, would fit better in Health and Fitness Community.
OCD community is for topics that don't fit in any other community and should be used when you don't find a niche community for your post.
Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work and why you should use them -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide. I also put together a list of communities, which is not complete, there are much more communities on Hive, but it will help you get started.
Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.
Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse. Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.
I see, thanks for the reply!
There are only 2 active users in that community...so it doesn't seem like it makes sense to post there, as there is practically no engagement.
Where else would you suggest I post?
Unfortunately many think like that and this is why these communities fail to grow. 2 active users can become 3 and then 4 and those who are joining can easily find the niche community they are interested in and make it stronger. Otherwise general communities will grow and look like a big mix of everything, where you can't find what you want but you can find everything else that you're not interested in.
Isn't that human nature though? Why would anyone eat at the restaurant with tons of open tables and no guests, when the restaurant across the street is busy with filled tables and the laughter of guests enjoying their food?
I just found the Lifestyle community here which has 144 active posters
There's also Actifit with 624 active posters
I'll post in these two from now on
