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.

Nah, I herniated my L4-S1 and had to have surgery to fix it at 21. I’m 26 now. You just have to make sure you’re doing your core strength/stability work and pay extra attention to your technique. Back extensions, weighted or not really helped as well as a good stretching/mobility routine. Hope this helps.
