If you are so inclined (and more than a touch masochistic) to do these and not worry so much about balance, you can use your off hand for balance. I do them on a bench with the bar racked and gently place my hand on the end of the barbell. Helps a ton with balance and allows you to focus more in form. Pushing the weight, etc. and less on trying to balance and not tip over. Plus if you feel like forcing reps , a gentle push on the barbell will let you extend the set a few reps and really punish yourself.
I'm sure many will say that defeats the purpose. But I guess then it depends on what your purpose is. Mine is building muscle and strength, not learning how to balance with unilateral weight.
