    Hey Gang,

    I have been absent from the forums just recovering from my back injury (herniated disk, around L4 or L5 most likely).

    After taking a minimalist approach and not healing for a month (on advice of GP doc) I went to see a specialist who got me on a course of oral steroids. Fast forward two and I'm feeling about 80% of normal. Good enough to go try a couple of workouts this week anyway.

    One irony is that while my GP suggested I hurt myself lifting something, the back specialist said my injury is more likely tied to a lifetime of sitting (school/college/computer career). Although I'm to stay away from the things that "hurt" I should be as active as I can.

    So I guess that's why you should get a 2nd opinion from doctors . . . !

    I did post a form check video of my first attempt at deadlifts since the injury. Comments welcome.
