risk of injury far outweighs the advantages of that stupid shit.

i'd rather do 135 for 5 on the ground than 115 for 3 while "balancing".

I surf. I have seen "Some" surfers do this but a very small amount actually squat while on a exercise ball.

That's what I thought, but a friend of mine is big into sports and convinced me that some sports would benefit from that kind of mastery over your coordination and connected muscle groups. I mean I would prefer to do more weight and not fall over, but my functional strength and awareness doesn't necessarily benefit particularly from it. That guy looked less likely to injure himself than the guys in Flex magazine lifting 5+ plates. Just ask JP Fux.
