Hi Michael,
Thank for writing. I would recommend doing these 3 times a week. Of course, with body weight exercises, you can do many slight variations and do them almost every day without injury. However, as with any exercises, if you\’re not improving and you\’re unduly fatigued, your body is trying to tell you that you need recovery time – not more training. It\’s when you recover properly that you can begin seeing the strength and speed improvements that are ideal. Train hard – but rest intelligently.

Very happy you like the exercise. To answer your question #1, I usually do one leg to failure – so that I can’t crank out another rep. Then, I rest about 20-30 seconds and move on to do the next leg exactly the same way. On days I don’t train to failure, I alternate legs every few reps. Sometimes I do 2-3 reps with the negatives at a time and then other times do 5-6 to 8. I always try to make them harder. There’ll be more videos how I put more weight on the reps by crossing one leg over the other until the working leg begins to fail and also leaning at different angles also puts stress on the leg in completely different ways. Then we move on to full one leg squats eventually. I know a lot of people who do body weight exercises say you can train the same exercises every day. I don’t. There are So many exercises that can hit the muscles differently. I believe there’s no reason to even risk over training a muscle group with the same exercises. All the best and thanks again for the comment.

this is a truly amazing exercise. i just tried it, i manage to make 7 reps but i noticed how instantly i could feel it working. but there are 2 questions i have. you say that we concentrate all our energy on one leg while the other uses only a small amount. that way we train one leg to the max. but in the whole set do we ever switch legs? and how often can we use this exercise, can we use it everyday or should we only do it every other day?
