I've just herinated a disc in my lumbar column during a badly executed deadlift. It was probably already weakened and prone to it due to an old injury of my lower back i also had from a deadlifting incident. So this is not the first time.
In short: i'm done with deadlifting and also squats. fuck being huge, not taking chances anymore. I just want to be healthy at this point.
I was thinking dumbbell lunges and maybe some faggot body weight stuff for the erector spinae.
Any suggestions?
bump?

See a chiro.
stair machine
literally all you need for legs
>>38427126
no, see a real doctor.

a bone breaker for a leaking body gel sac?
>>38427161
we don't have one of those i'm afraid.
>>38427184
already did.
tl;dr he said "yeah herniated disc, take a break and go back to whatever exercise works for you without pain".

You dun goofed. You can do leg press and other pussy stuff, but you gotta remember to keep the form correct on those as well. You don't want to explode your knees as well, do you?

1. Give it a couple of weeks off to start healing.
2. Grow some fucking balls.
3. Go back to babby weight, squat and deadlift, and fucking do it properly this time because now you know why you have to.
>but this was a totally isolated incident and I have never performed this exercise without rigorously maintained form as evidenced by this having never happened before oh wait
Acknowledge you fucked up, rehab your back the only way that actually fucking works, and come out of it better off.

will definitely consider this after some time has passed and i feel confident again, thanks

seriously dude - working out injury free is the only important thing in this stuff. Getting bigger and stronger comes second. You know why Eddie Hall did 500kg deadlift? He stayed injury free through his career. Do your research first.
what about stiff legged deadlifts?

yeah too late for that now
