Well, I tried them, first with just my bodyweight, then with ten lb. dbs.
I've got a ways to go before I can even get proper form going. I found myself leaning forward (which hurt my lower back, once I had the dumbells) AND pushing off with my lower leg. I may have to do some leg presses before I'm even strong enough to do these.
The good news is that I only have a little pain in my knees, and not the holy-shit-what-have-I-done-pain that squats give me. I look forward to being able to do these with good form. I could tell that they'd really tax my hamstrings and glutes, if I could just do them right (as well as my core muscles, because of the balancing involved).
