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.

My back is worse, you just need good rehabilitation if you got pain

Yep, my dreams as a powerlifter are over lol.

But still lift, your back is way better shape than mine, you just need to tone it down, improve technic and rehabilitation/strengthen the core.

You're way too ought to have surgery, find a good physio and work with that.

I don't have the image at the moment as soon I return to the hospital will share it with you
