What should I do?
Few years ago I used to frequent /fit/. Got onto starting strength, went from 65 kg jack skellington to 80 kg mediocre dude. Became way healthier, stats were:
DL 110 kg 1x5
Squats 112.5 kg 3x5
OHP 45 kg 3x8
Bench 32 kg dumbbells 3x8
That was mid 2013. After that, I had a year away from the gym doing a lot of travelling and moving to a new city for work.
Started up again mid 2014. Went solid for all 2014, 2015 started doing other sports, lots of swimming, injured my back (pic related) real bad in july 2015 - triggered a previously herniated disc.
Stayed away from any gym routines for the rest of 2015, kept swimming, running, hiking, and sporadic gym sessions. 2016 intended to get back to the gym regularly but broke my arm, and so never really went regularly bar a few months last year.
My question is, what routine should I do? Don't really want to do starting strength again, and I'm shit scared of hurting my back. After starting strength last time I did my own modification which was something like
ABxABxx
A - Bench, Dips, Squats
B - OHP, Pullups, Deadlifts
x - rest/swimming
as I say, I'm worried about my back when it comes to deadlifts and squats
Any ideas?

Sorry. Thats the best I've got
Do you want to get strong or get jacked/aesthetic? Do you want cardio fitness so you can keep swimming hiking etc or cardio is less of a priority? How many days do you want to train a week?
You're being ambiguous mate, tell us what you actually want. Be real with yourself, nothing wrong with any of being fit as fuck, being strong as fuck or jacked as fuck, but typically you can't have it all.

You can be strong and jacked, though you may end up fat for most of the year before that.

sorry, forgot to mention that.
Cardio is gonna take care of itself because I still do so much of it. Goal is just to rebuild strength. I assume my stats have gone down drastically over the last 2 years so yeah.
was thinking of trying to put another 5-10 kgs on over the next 6-12 months/
