Any of you guys still lift with a bulged disc? I have one..

Yes, if its giving you a lot of pain currently I'd back off. Chiro or inversion table and keep it light. Ive had bulging/disk hernias for 10 years and powerlifting with a proper belt and good technique has actually had fairly positive results

This is why I quit powerlifting many years ago. 600 lb deadlift in competition gave me a rupture at L4-5 that eventually required surgery. I loved powerlifting but due to the limitations this caused I would only do bench competitions if I could go back. I am built to dead and always used good form. It just didn't matter in my case. Squats and deads were gone for me from that point forward.

But health problems are not the main reason that this is a sport. And the wrong technique of movements and errors in the training system. We often make mistakes and then pay with our health.
Yes, and problems with the spine are not always the end, perhaps rehabilitation, but long, but possible.

Fuck. Did you ever try again? Did the surgery just fuck your positioning and what not?

Oh yeah..no good on lower back..my avatar is representative of my current condition...surgery just made sure squats and deads were a thing of the past. No major issues with training. Just none of THAT training. I really loved my powerlifting days and got to meet some high level well known guys. Even light deads aggravated me after.

Fear of getting hurt again or questions why should I lift so much? When you can just practice

Can't anything be restored? Maybe there are still options, to build a rehabilitation and return the load to the lower back and legs?

I dont understand your question....practice what?

when a person gets injured and tries to get back to the old weights on the bar, I've noticed 2 variations of events.
1. The person becomes psychologically afraid of the weight at which he was injured
2. When he gets to the serious weights, he wonders why he needs it again.

Agree somewhat definately getting back under a squat at any weight after I tore my hamstring was nerve-racking, but just buck up and getting under the bar and work back up has built the confidence back. I only question why not because of the injuries but because of my age, then I snap out of it and go oh yeah because I like it

I am sure that the main thing here is not to rush and work very slowly and not rush. And over time, these doubts go away in his head. Rather, he is tormented by doubts not for what he needs it, but how to do more, but at the same time not get injured.

 

[Ridethelightningbarefoot]

My thoughts right now are I to spend a long time building back up and then I either risk reinjury or injuring it worse....so my motivation to continue with the compound lifts let alone competing is faultering

Sometimes it is useful to just take a break, take a break and analyze well how you trained before, recovered and try to find mistakes. Yes, it's good to look at your situation from the outside.

I remember when I started training, I made very good progress. Especially when you're skinny and small, and here you've gained about 14 kilos. I have problems with my eyesight, minus eight in both eyes. I go every year for a checkup. The doctor looked, said I had a retinal tear. I had to have an operation. After that, they told me not to exercise. My mother was very worried, they said I would go blind if I continued. Very often she demotivated me. I was able to sit like that for half a year. All that time I studied everything about sports. And at that point, I was studying for a technical degree. But for some reason I thought for sure I would come back and my job would be sports. Eventually, I came back and eventually started performing. I found information, then I found a very good doctor, he helped me with my version: why did it happen? What was the point of all of this? We are often psychologically overwhelmed. If you really want to, you can try and look for solutions. Sometimes it's like a challenge, a struggle with your trauma, but finding a solution

 

[Hightower]

I am sure that faith in a positive outcome works wonders. And even when the whole world is against and does not believe, everything is possible. There are many such examples. When people did not move and got up and began to live a normal life and achieved results in sports. Therefore, if a person wants and wants, he will achieve everything. I believe that.

 

[Nerdrage_Hilmateam]

I also noticed that when a person does not fight the circumstances and achieves the result easily, then such a person does not come to the end. And when a person has some problems, it is as if he struggles with them and wants to reach the end and reach the goal.

Probably this is the case when there are talented people who have everything simple to the first difficulty and they all give up. And there are ordinary people, but very hardworking and he will try until the moment until he achieves a result. As a result, he achieves more, although he has less natural data. Order wins talent.

Also, everyone has a different margin of safety when it comes to weights. For some people 100 kilograms is very heavy, for others 200 is nothing. I really like powerlifting. A man begins to look for his own approach to the movements.
