The ONLY 5 Gym Exercises You Need With Herniations and Bulges (no pain!)
If you’ve been told you have a disc bulge or herniation or have just been living with persistent back pain for years… chances are you have a love-hate relationship with the gym.
Every workout and exercise you try feels like a risk.
Deadlifts? Probably off limits.
Squats? Too risky.
Lifting anything heavy? Better be careful.
So instead, you back off, play it safe and spend more time “recovering” than you do enjoying your workouts.
5 years down the road you realize something frustrating:
Your back hasn’t gotten stronger.
And it’s even more sensitive today then it was back then. The truth is, most people with disc injuries aren’t stuck because they’re lifting… they’re stuck because they stopped loading their body in the right way.
In this video, I walk you through the 5 Gym Exercises I use with people who have disc bulges, herniations, and chronic low back pain so they can safely return to training without triggering flare-ups.
These movements aren’t about testing your limits. They’re about rebuilding confidence.
I also show you a simple weekly workout structure that makes returning to the gym feel clear and manageable instead of risky and overwhelming.
This isn’t a “fix your back first, then lift later” strategy. Because for most people with chronic disc pain…
Training is the fix.
When you choose the right movements, build tolerance gradually, and let your body adapt again, your back stops feeling fragile and starts feeling capable. If you’ve been avoiding the gym because you’re afraid your back can’t handle it anymore…
This is where you start.
