Depends on the person, but I personally hate the balancing act I have to do on mine. Close your eyes, hold your arms out, lift one leg, and then bend the leg your standing on and come back up. This they want for both legs.LOL

Well I would say the dead lift of 300 lbs over your head. Sorry, just messing with you. It is not bad. I think most have a problem with passing the BP part anyway. Well at least the old fat guys and of course the new nervous ones as well.
