Harder is not always better. Same thing with faster. I would assume you meant this only for those who have established a strong baseline first as far as ROM, flexibility, stamina, and strength to properly do the exercises. Although occasionally I do pistols or one-legged squats 15+ on each legs, and notice the jumpstart in improvement, that exercise is also a certified knee killer. Not just for the 28 or 30+ years old, but anyone whose leg muscles isn't squared away. Same thing with the Hindu squats. Unless the person has been conditioned (ie. entire life) with the third-word squats, the exercise has more harms than benefits. IMHOO
