i bet thats awsome for the stabalizers and the groing muscles that dont get hit during squats much. im too scared to try it, i feel like i would bust my ass

you need to inflate that ball a touch

I know I'd fall and break something doing that, I'm the clumsiest person ever. Looks like a great stabilizer workout, though.

thanks alot coolcolj!!

hey thanks man!!

ya this is a great exercise to do. i didnt use any weights cuz i didnt have any spotters but its not about how much weight you use. i can squat around 100lb on it with around 5 reps, then my feet start slipping.

the ball does need to be inflated but i have to do it by mouth so thats as good as i got it at home. but in my gym at school tis fully pumped and i can do the same amount of weight.

i thought id post these cuz a long time ago ppl on here thought it was an usless exercise when i broguht it up so i thought id finaly post a pic of it.

thanks again coolcolj !!!

looks interesting to say the least. How does it feel on your ankles, and is there any real difference on muscles worked??? Just asking maybe good for a shot or 2...

I don't see the point in performing this exercise.

well since iv been doing squats on the swissball its helped with being lower to the ground and being more stable and agile. therefor making it harder for defenders to guard me me being so low.
its helped me out so maybe its a mental thing but it worked!

i dont feel any tenchon on my ankles. the squat on the ball just feels different i dont know if it works any different muscle more well major muscles but im sure it works strabliving muscles alot more!

Hmm good idea, this may not be as applicable to bodybuilding but will be great for other sports. This will definitely help with my skiing.
