Ill try to do that on the pistols next time. The only reference i had was frank yangs pistols, and he had alot of reflexive contribution going in and coming out of the whole, but then again its probably because he had 120 pounds worth of dumbells.

O and my right leg is strongest.
Yeah, your depth jumps will get there especially if you stick with that height for a while. With DL, I really must concentrate on keeping the bar close to my shins up to the knees i.e. it isn't just about touching the shins at the starting position. If you are like me (I guess you are as a light sprinter build) once the bar hits knee level it is sooo easy to pull to lock out. Our proportions just make the shin to knee level hard.

Yeah, Frank's pistol squat with 120lbs DB was insane. I think I would need to train for a year or two to get that down lol.
