    Wall squats really make my quads burn, if you hold it long enough. Then there are rear lunges or static lunges, and hip thrusts to work the flutes and hamstrings.

    8 months ago, i was diagnosed with 2 herniated disc and degenerative disc disease , all that from 3 years of bad sitting postures, long hours of work, and bad lifting technique. 5 months ago, i started going to the gym , doing all the 7 exercises and none of the symptoms has been disappeared. I'm very thankful now for getting into this video! thanks a lot! and sorry for my English grammar , I'm from Chile 🇨🇱

    Spot on! I heard a pop in my left lower side at the end of using a rowing machine as I was putting the handle back about 14 months ago. I stopped using the rowing machine and lifting my legs and side planking doing abs exercises as they were painful. I modified a few other exercises (not putting weight through my spine from top to bottom) and it got better by itself but it took about nine months. I then heard the pop and felt pain again three months ago using the leg press so I am now not doing leg press and I have just stopped leg extensions because I have also been told that they are not the best exercises to do for quads anyway. I had a CT scan and that showed a bulging disc at L4/L5 and L5/S1. The latter does not seem to be causing me any issues. Shame I didn't see this earlier as I would not have gone back to the leg press/extensions etc. I will follow your advice about not doing these gym exercises and the 5 steps to rehabbing a bulging disc. I find that walking is great for me and I can cycle on a gym bike without too much of an issue. I will monitor this to make sure that I don't have after effects. Cheers!

    Thank you. I have a herniated disc, I am being proactive but cautious. Despite being very careful with exercise, I have noticed delayed onset of the back being aggravated and so this video confirmed for me what to avoid but importantly what may be possible. I would add that it is also very important to think with the same logical approach to daily life movements not just to when exercising as it is these occasions when you are not so present and guarded to the movements.

    Brilliant video, thanks for posting. I'm a very active 52 year old with a recently diagnosed L3 bulging disc, that's been giving me grief since late November last year. Took an age to finally get an MRI scan to confirm my issue, so I was lacking dedicated direction with what exercises to avoid doing in the gym. You've guessed it, I was doing all of the above. I did understand myself that deadlifting and squatting were to be avoided, as I could feel my body telling me, that they were no good, but the leg extensions and hamstring curls, i've being doing loads of them. I will now avoid them to see how I get on. It does feel like its progressing slowly, but its taking time though. I do alot of skipping for cardio, is that advisable to do? I must say I don't feel any negativity from that, but I thought that about the leg exercises didn't I!! Great content, keep it up 👍

    The reason you got sciatica is because your technique was very good and you weren't taking care of your mobility exercises. If you do those two things correctly, you won't get sciatica. Matter of fact, the more you do weighted squats, deadlifts, combined with mobility and core work, you could prevent these injuries. I do agree, if you have a bulge disc, avoid these exercises until you are fixed. Then do these exercises. If you do these exercises and have perfect form, you won't have these injuries.

    I had a herniated L5/S1 disc some 10 years ago. The hernia was pressed up against the nerve on the right hand side very snuggly and the pain was excruciating. Took me quite a long time to recover and I don't think I ever fully regained balance between the muscles on my left and right halves of the body. Over the past 9-10 months, I've been working out progressively, starting with bands and balance exercises and working my way up to the weight training and the big 3 (squat, bench, deadlift). My numbers have been consistently going up and I can deadlift 120kg 5 times and squat 90 for reps (discontinued bench press because of shoulder pain). Longwinded intro out of the way, I've been having lower back discomfort and very modest pain over the past 7-8 days. Some of the stretches recommended by Squat University proved to be very useful but I still have doubts around continuing to follow High Intensity Training (Mentzer- & Jones-style) even though I absolutely adore the feeling and results. @HT Physio: should we avoid the above-mentioned exercises for life? You mentioned that people with a bulge should avoid them, but, if we want to lift meaningful weight are we at risk of provoking an injury even years after a recovery? Cheers and speedy recovery to all! Edit: I am 30 years old.

    In my humble opinion, I think if you keep doing it you’re more prone to injury. Discs take a long time to heal and if you’re lucky enough to heal. Take care 😊

    Pretty much just walk. That’s your best bet. Everything aggravates a bulging disc. Forget leg day. Do pull ups if you’re strong enough he said. I’m not so walking is my safest option. God bless everyone!

    So much for giving alternative workouts (emphasis on plural), like he promised in the beginning. Also, these seem like the same things that could apply to a herniated disc.

    Thank you for the information Will. How about doing hip thrust with 100 - 130 kg? I got injured doing horizontal rowing with fairly heavy weight.

    Another bad one for me that you probably should have mentioned is the bar hip thrust off the floor with back against pad. That one aggravates my bulging disc a lot.

    lol I used to think that, if I avoid deadlifts my problem would be solved. Almost 2 months are gone and the pain was still the same. Then I went to a chiropractor and received a treatment. That chiropractor told me the same as you! Now I stopped doing the above exercises and boom! Within 21 days I feel 60-70% better already! I believe within the next 2-3 weeks I will be healed. Thanks doc.

    So here's my question. when someone has disc issues you've described many of the exercises that we need to avoid. So WTF can I do? How do I maintain/gain leg strength in a way that either minimizes or avoids aggravating the disc? A big piece of quality of life as we get older is to keep leg strength up. How can this be done without going through the lower back?? I'm actually upset, because I'm trying to think of exercises that CAN be done and the best ones are now gone.

    I think... it's squats with light weights and not deep, lunges, one-leg squats, cycling.
