Weighted pistols

I had a workout session last Saturday where I lowered to a full pistol squat depth (broke parallel and then some), but then I saw this. Would something like that be better than going to full? Just curious.

Im confused as to what you mean man, in the video you linked hes definitely doing a full squat...

Huh. Really? I thought it was a variation since he's sitting down into it. It removes the part where you force the change from eccentric to concentric, doesn't it? Would this be better to go for then?
From what I remember, you gave me a weighted pistol squat vid where the dude was beast. He held the front squat position with the barbell with around 120 or so lbs. and then dropped into full depth, but not as far as the guy I linked... which is what I'm doing.

Oh ok, you mean the little roll back like a box squat. Honestly, if youre THAT deep like he is in the video, it wont matter which way you do it, I guarantee you he has no trouble going down and straight up without the roll into it. The front squat grip on the bar is a good way to do it too, I like that one since you can elevate your working leg and not have to get into such an extreme position in the end range of motion. Either will work fine though.

Okay, thanks, Lance.

You bet man good luck.
