I think of Kevin Ogar who was paralyzed this year after a regular lift he was attempting went wrong, to see this makes me cringe!

    I haven't even really started properly and all I see is stupid.

    I don't see the point of it either. The amount of weight I can OHP is peanuts compared to what I can squat, so why combine an OHP with a squat? Even a pistol squat.... because my squat / 2 > my OHP....

    oh and it looks pretty dangerous too....

    That is the stupidest thing I have seen in ages. Why set yourself for injury just to show off.

    That's not something that I think I'll be adding to my routine . . .

    Bad enough with a foot on the floor, but the one on the kettlebell???

    I can't see the last photo (work firewall). I'm afraid of it after the kettlebell one.

    Pistol squats? They're amazing for balance and strength.

    ETA: Learn what the exercise is before trying to bring it down saying it's bad.

    So there isn't a safer way to gain balance and strength?

    That's like the "*kitten*" of weightlifting. I think they should take it to the next level and do that while riding downhill in a shopping cart.
