Reply With QuoteWaste of time. The unstable surface will force you to significantly reduce weight thus progress is non-existent. Stability would be increased, I guess, but last time I lifted something on a ball for a practical purpose was.......NEVER!

First thought: This has been posted before.
Second thought: When this guys wrecks his body doing this, I want a 720p video of this on YouTube of it.
Third thought: If you want to build core stability using squats, do overhead squats.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
