Pistol success! Finally!

Today I hit solid rock bottom pistols on the right AND left legs with no pain, no weird pops, nothing. All of the mobility and flexibility work I have been doing has finally paid off. A few months ago I pistoled a 40 kg. on my right leg and stopped myself there as I was creating a big imbalance due to my inability to get below parallel on my left leg without pain. I was starting to think something was wrong with the knee, but the pain and stiffness would come and go so I figured it was something I could fix.
Turns out it was.
So now I'm targeting the August RKC in San Diego as my deadline for a Beast Pistol and 40 kg. Press.
"Damn Jordan, this is the longest Beast Tamer training cycle in the history of Man."
Slow and steady wins the race. Here I come Beast Tamer Hall of Fame... 2010!
