So, I am going to drop dead-lifts out of my schedule. I don't think dead lifting will be the best thing for my spine at this point, plus I find that it frees up a lot of energy for other stuff. In any case, I am already doing bridges and ham glute raises, both of which seriously work the dead lifting muscles and patterns, and are my main exercises anyway. Yes, I know most people will weep at that statement, but if you can't dead lift due to a legitimate medical reason, bridges and Ham Glute Raises are the best replacement you could find. Plus they do a lot of things bridges just don't.
With that out of my conscience, I also have decided to stop barbell squats and move on in the one leg squat progressions. I am going to keep the reps high and am going to start with uneven squats, as I can already squat half my body weight with the heels touching and with a full range of motion for 100 consecutive reps, without pausing. One leg squats drain the body less too.
Anyway, here is the program-
Sun-
Standing Military Press- 3-5 sets of 5-15 reps
Bent Over Row- 3-5 Sets of 5-15 reps
Standing Military Straight Bar Curls- 2-3 sets of 5- 15 reps
