How can I make it more advanced?

Yeah, I can't do squats. I have a permanent spinal injury. I can't do any sort of exercise that puts pressure on my vertebra. That means no dead lifts either.

Thanks for the input. I can do leg presses with fairly heavy weight and my back is ok with that. My problem is only when I have extra weight pressing down on my spine and that doesn't happen with the leg press. I've never even heard of a one leg pistol body squat, but it it's what I think it is...

First off, I'm new here so I'll do a little intro - if you're not interested skip to the second paragraph. My name's Shane, I'm 42 and my fitness experience is limited to having done the Body for Life challenge in 2001 (lost 20 lbs of fat, gained 10 lbs of muscle), working out for a year after...
