No need to lock this thread. This is a good conversation. I just think sprints are just as good

I suggested that the thread be locked because most of the current "contributions" are votes on a poll nearing its second anniversary, not because of your post.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. That is his opinion as wrong as it may be it is still his opinion. You don't avoid injury by not working a muscle. You avoid injury by making that muscle stronger. Those strong muscles in turn help protect the spine. I don't see why you would not be able to work back up to where you were at and beyond. But if in doubt I would get other professional opinions.

I squat. using a swiss ball against my back, against a wall. then holding dumbells do squats.

if you get damaged you are either going way too low, locking out your knees, or have piss poor form.
