This is the chain suspended push up for the squat! It's hard as hell but will (in time) make your leg's strong as hell.
The way I do them is start with the weakest leg first, stand in front of a box hold the other leg out in front of you, then balance by holding your arm's out in front or to the side (what ever works best) and squat down to the box keeping your balance, release your hips and stand back up. When you go down sit back just like you do normally while squatting.
Louie turned me on to this about 2 years ago I tried them & hated them because there hard and didn't do them anymore. Now I've gotten more open minded about my training and the importance of accessory work and started back and they've worked great!
Start with a high box 16-18" then when you can do 3 sets of 10 with each leg lower the box 1" and repeat. You can also use weight by holding a dumbbell in one hand. It's a great test of overall leg strength and stability. I forgot, it's cheating if you hold on to something! Give them a shot and see what you think.
