Comment
It was a good session, the 50kg dumbbell was no doubt heavy but was able to do the workout each leg and rest between legs. Spend a few weeks on this weight till my body gets used to it and it feels comfortable like 40kg. The jump squats was ok, the back extension I used a barbell and I keep my arms straight with barbell hanging off the end of it and just lift my upperbody up. Did leg press calf raise as doing it with barbell puts pressure on my lower back. Then did some upperbody work. slowly by slowly getting off the post workout supplement whey protein shake.
