My bro 2 cents. Try to avoid surgery unless you don't have a life anymore because of the pain. Get opinions from other surgeons. Remember surgeons want to operate because that's how they pay their mortgage on their fancy car and houses. On the other hand there are real success stories too. I heard about spacers being place between the vertebrate that have given many relief. Make sure you are seeing a specialist. Don't agree to an operation that might fix the pain but leave you a handicapped mess either. Tough decisions worth a lot of research. Regarding training. Don't do anything that hurts it. Give up your favorite or must do lifts if it hurts your back. Nothing wrong with doing body weight squats. Hell, Mr. Universe short class Wilf Sylvester gave up barbell squats to win that title using 400 reps of body weight squats. Use moderate weights with short rests between sets using high reps. Make a light weight heavy through that protocol. I've seen some really built guys that use light weights. Include more body weight exercises. You're not in contention to compete in the Olympia, right? Find a cardio that works for you. That might be walking, recumbent bike or other. I know the situation is very depressing. No one that has the will to be in shape but is stopped by physical limitations can be without any mental anguish. So start researching. Start researching who is the best doctor to examine you for a second opinion. If your life just can't be lived with the pain get the operation. The recovery I would imagine will be long and challenging. Work out with your limitations. If it turns out you have to do stuff like 4 sets of high rep slow cadence reps with 20lbs dumbbells for curls in the future that's your reality. Do what you can and you might be rewarded with a decent lean build. I wish you luck and keep your chin up. Unless that bothers your back then keep your chin down.

Has anyone tried stem cell therapy?
where did you read this about 400 rep free hand squats? where is the article?
One of the Weider mags did an article on him. I tore it out and kept it. On one of my facebook groups on lifting a guy from England confirmed it. He did free hand squats along with leg extensions and leg curls for that Universe win.
want to see the article.
The old weider mag is in tatters.
We offer Prolotherapy for our athletes. Most get good results (depending on the injury)
Is this for real or you're going for a laugh?
