Here is a link to my blog, where I explained the exercise a bit further. http://therawhigh.blogspot.com/2010/05/eccentric-pistol-squats.html (http://therawhigh.blogspot.com/2010/05/eccentric-pistol-squats.html)

I named it eccentric because you train to absorb more force in the thighs, hopefully some people like this one . . . . feedback please

biggest thing i don't like about it is how the physioball is a bit unpredictable, depending on how you land, as seen by that rep where you fly off to the side.. If you used a vest, you could come up with some cleaner variations, i'm pretty sure of it.. having your arms counter balance while wearing a vest, you could do some things like REA sldl, REA "pistol", russian jumps etc.

i think something like that would be real effective with a weighted vest etc, only problem is you need a partner.

peace man

yeah, I like the how the ball forces me to be more aware of the body. In fact that's why the exercise is so mentally demanding as well as physically. The core involvement in this is huge, ur right about the vest though I wish I had a vest or a weighted belt to use for this

Zginphill, what are you confused about? I'd like to hear
