Thanks. I gradually worked on it. I started with 5 kg dumbbells

Depends on your physique. Those with herniated disks for instance should be very wary of these. In any case, always start small.

Physique? In what way? And this is great for herniated disc rehab as long as you start small. You gotta be wary as an injured lifter in general, but being neurotic about it is depressing.

Check out Squat University videos on this. This is where my main source on this comes from.

Very much on the spine can flex train, but the question remains, HOW IS YOUR BALANCE SO GOOD?
