As a matter of fact, the #1 strongman in the US, Derek Poundstone, has had several back surgeries because of herniated disks, and other lumbar problems (including a couple cracked vertabrates because of an accident I believe), but he's comeback stronger and has vids of him squatting over 800 for reps. No I'm not saying you need to try the shit he does, but with proper work, it is possible to squat again. Just trying to help you out brotha, because IMO there is no better exercise than the squat!!
