Training after back surgery

[Jriddik]

Hello everyone....

So I had a L5-S1 microdiscectomy two weeks ago from a deadlift injury. I powerlift and this was the first time I didn't keep my core tight (on a 700lb PR attempt). I pretty much realize I won't be powerlifting anymore, but does anyone have experience with lifting after a surgery like this, and what I can expect to get back to?

Thanks

I have a mate who does strongman comps and he has had l3-l4 laminectomy. Deadlifted 230kg 6 months after without a belt

Nice! Maybe there is hope yet. I still may try the bodybuilding instead of the powerlifting I have done
