Messed up my back at work, and was told I tore soft tissues on my lower back. I can't dead lift or squat anymore because it puts pressure in that area. Are there alternate things i can do until I heal?
My main lift days now revolve around chest and shoulders. Leg days have been replaced with those 2 leg machines, and the calf raise. Back has been replaced with lats pulldowns, and rowmachine. Is dat it mane?

hip belt squats place 0 strain on your lower back
it's also a good time to work on your single leg stuff. just bodyweight for a beginner is hard. split squats, onto shrimps, pistons, ect.

do pull ups you girl

Planks and bridges for your core
Single leg squats and GHR will be your friends for a while.
Don't try to rush into deads and squats just for the ego rush of lifting. Believe me. It's not worth it.

I can rep out 15+ pull ups easy, but i'm just lifting my own body weight, wouldn't I get more of an overload doing lat pull downs? The chain for weighted pull ups always gets taken.

I thought I was getting better, but I tried with a plate today, and nope..I think it's gonna be a few weeks before I can get back into it.

some pull up variants then? archers and so on, or go high volume mixing up wide and narrow. just buy your own hip belt off amazon, they're pretty cheap
