So what I am currently doing are
overhead presses,
weighted pushups,
low rackpulls,
chinups.
I am not a exactly a powerlifter right now, but I plan on competing in the future.
I have been having lower back problems (osteochendrosis and disc protrusion) for about 1,5 years.
Clarification: When I say my back hurts, it means that I have problems sitting and bending over during my everyday live (after doing squats or deadlifts, even with 60kg).
After experimenting around with literally every exercise I could think of, I found out that I can only do barbell lunges for my lower body. So I got my lunge up 115kg for working sets. Now, I discovered that I can finally work my back again. While deadlifts still hurt, I can at least do rackpulls from the lowest pin now. I just started doing these rack pulls 2 weeks ago. I got 180kg for a single, the second time I tried it. Therefore I think that I will hit 200kg+ in no time.
Squats still hurt my back. Also, my right quad tendon is inflamed. The pain started about 2,5 months ago, when I was driving a car.
I have also found a way to progressively overload pushups, which are fine on my shoulder.
