Unless you’re competing or taking orange juice, there is no point in squatting or deadlifting over 315 maybe 405.
Its about time under tension, mind muscle connection, its not weight lifting.-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.

What disc? What's your diagnosis? Did you see a doctor, do therapy, get treatment? What are your goals?

Are you a competitive powerlifter? If not, why bother?

Never got diagnosed but I definitely fukked up my back a couple times where I knew it wasn't simply muscle pulls or spasms... Still lifted heavy once I felt better. Don't lift heavy anymore for other reasons though would rather do a set of 15-20 on squats and 3x10 for deads srs. Way better development and conditioning imo.

You can.
In many cases a huge component of your pain is neurological. Getting back to normal things can help a lot with feeling normal again.
I have two disc's that give me problems in the lumbar region and a surgeon suggested Deadlifts and its variations as one of the best things for it.
Before you go running off to PR though, understand that you probably hurt yourself due to a weak core/TVA and tightness in other regions. Dial it right back so your form is impeccable and do your prehab/rehab properly.
I hit a new Squat PR a few months ago and I'm stronger than I was pre injury, basically 3.5 years after my back injury. I am good 95% of the time these days. But when it happened I was dark man, constant pain wears you down and it took a good 12 months before I got the advice to be normal.

I have. I ruptured a disc back in 2011. I am healed up but will forever be 85-90%. It's always there.
I immediately gave up DL and did Rack pulls. They helped immensely and did not aggravate it.
I relearned how to ATG squat with better flexibility, and keeping the back upright/straight. But, you can stick with hacks and press.US Army 1998-2020
