Sup all, I'm 19 at 184cm and 73kg
I was diagnosed with slipped disc at L4/L5 and L5/S1 and have stopped lifting for 2 years now. My back is quite stable but the constant 'feeling' is still there so did bodyweight routine for around 3 months but I've decided to go back to weightlifting. I can stretch it to 5-day/week but would rather go to the gym 4 times and keep it around 1hr for each session.
Strength is my primary goal but I don't want to do full 5x5 since I'm still very scared for my back so it's a combination of 5x5 and hypertrophy. Would love to focus on size too since I'm quite skinny at my height. Anyway here's my current plan
Mon:
Squat 5x5
Bench Press 5x5
Barbell Row 5x5
Wed:
Squat 5x5
Push Press 5x5
Deadlift 3x8-12
Thurs:
Pull Up 3xAMAP
Incline DB BP 3x8-12
Glute Bridge 3x8-12
Lat Pulldown 3x8-12
Triceps Pushdown 3x10-15
Sat:
Pull Up 3xAMAP
Arnold Press 4x6-10
Lateral Raise superset with Rear Delt Raise 3x8-12
DB Curls 3x8-12
some extra notes:
1. I always do hyperextension at the end of every workout; abs and variations of farmer's walk if I have time (sometimes need to rush for class)
2. did this for a week everything seems fine for my back but I'm thinking of ditching the Deadlift altogether since it hurts a little bit and I think the risk is not worth due to my slipped disc. What should I replace it with? Also, if you have slipped disc too and managed to still lift heavy for DL, please enlighten me
3. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do incline BP on the day after push press
Any advice is welcomed and thanks a lot dudes

Hard for us to really give advice because we don’t want to tell you something that could potentially hurt you.
You probably should seek advice from a doctor or sports physical therapist or someone who specializes in training and injuries.- Your mindset influences your outcome. It's time to take out phrases like "I can't" or "I don't have time" and replace them with phrases like "I will make the time" and "I will keep working at it until I find a way that works." Success starts with the right mindset and believing in yourself and your dreams.

You're going to want to consult a sports centered spine doctor or physical therapist that specializes in spinal conditions to get an idea of the limitations surrounding the slipped disc. No one here will really be willing to help you. Actually its pretty frowned upon to even try.
Current Program: 5-3-1

Thanks so much guys for the replies.I just have had bad experiences with physiotherapy for the past 2 years and kinda lost faith in it but I'll find another specialist who are experienced more in training with injuries.
Just still wondering tho, provided I didn't have slipped disc and deadlift is out of the equation, how does this program hold up?

Since you insist on advice. I would not deadlift. Maybe romanian deadlift with light weights, and only get the bar just past the knees. I wouldn't even squat. I would do lunges/split squats. I know it's been 2 years, but no sense in really loading up the back with heavy weights until you are ready for them. Overall, your program seems balanced and reasonable.
