    Would halving the lift in body weight by placing knees on floor help alleviate any previous pain? Doing this perhaps may familiarise the lower back and core and introduce flexibility. Sounds like you've got this.

    I will try on my knees maybe. It's the discs in my L2-L5 area of my spine. On my side it starts to twinge pain and I chicken out. Actually there isn't much left of the disc between L4-L5 so that might be an issue.

    From what you've shared, that is sensible not to carry out a side plank that brings on twinge pain. Would recommend seeing a physical therapist/sports medic for clarity of boundaries.

    They poked and prodded enough last year lol, as long as I can reach my goals and not end up hurt again just going to leave the doctors out of it for a while. According to the surgeon I shouldn't be doing any of the stuff I've been doing the last two years lol. So I just keep testing my limits, but I am quick to back off if something doesn't feel right. They also said I'd never run again and I ran two miles this year. ;)
