single leg squats are awesome for overall stability and building functional strength. i do them when i cycle away from heavy stable training. it really adds stability when you get away from traditional bilateral movements and go to single leg, balance types. once you come back to the standard, you feel rock solid.

ill use a single leg squat to assess muscle imbalances as well. excellent for that.

bodyweight squats can get you too, using a 4/2/2 tempo for 15-20 reps. imagine a set taking 2 min. ouchy. even moderate weight dumbbells will get the quads screaming.

how does a single leg squat differ from a lunge?

 

[bignate73]

a lunge, you have the luxury of having a stabilizer leg. a single leg squat is like a crystal ball into all of your muscle imbalances and knee instabilities

can someone describe how a single leg squat is performed?

I don't see the pont
what weight do you have to stimulate muscle growth
high intensity = muscle growth

who said i wanted to get bigger bro? I do it for muscular endurance, and besides , you dont always need weight to grow muscle.

can you do 10 single leg squats, to parallel correctly? want to talk intensity? do them at a 4/2/2/ rep tempo.

thats the point.

High Intensity does not equal heavy weight. Do 1 leg squats with correct form and for a high number of reps. Now that is high intensity!@
