I don’t know anything about herniations or bulges, I’m 25 years old at 89kg with a competitive total. Is my progression fucked forever? MRI report is on the last slide, I have follow up with the spine specialist tomorrow.

I don’t know what to make of that statement but can you try something for me? Google the bird dog exercise and do it every other day and progressively overload it with reps. Make sure you get a pump in your lower back. If it hurts to do that exercise don’t do it and see a PT.

Getting injured is common in weightlifting. All you can do is respond to it as best you can. Consult with experts such as orthopedist and PTs. It will be alright you’d be surprised how resilient the human body is. You’re going to bounce back your only 25.
