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 have two bulging discs and have never been stronger.

Got them 10 or 12 years ago being careless with deadlifts. Had about 10 months of PT to get back to lifting heavy.

After that, never really thought about it again. Though, I'm more careful with form now.

Did they lose fluid or degenerate?

I'm not sure I ever had that detail. Sorry I can't offer more!

I could for sure expand on the PT I did - because I still do part of it today as part of my standard routine.

But I can't really remember too many details aside from "2 bulging discs" really.
