It's a great idea because it should promote just the kind of stability AND mobility you need at the hips and ankles and that will go a long way toward keeping the knees healthy.
BTW, Dave, if you aren't already it's exceptable to hold a 5 pound plate out in front of you to help with balance.
One legged deadlifts would be a good idea as well. Basically, "romanians" on one leg...
LOL, Pavel's "The Naked Warrior" is a whole book devoted just to one legged squats and one-arm push-ups. So nobody buy that, haha....
Good luck with your thrusters.

I've seen vids of people doing one legged squats with KBs... I'm going to work my way up to that and I definitely think 15 reps is a good goal. I'll be adding weight in maybe 2 weeks, I'm trying to get the reps up and work on just going rock bottom. My balance is pretty good so far.
