My injury is from years of abuse on my back. I have a bulging disk at L5 S1 and sciatic pain. It hurts before, during and after. It hurts worse when I squat, but not when I deadlift. So would the deadlift trap bar be ok for squats then?

So I have done, and started again, the strong life 5x5 program. I have a bad back and the squats have started hurting, plus I tweaked my back a few days ago. Is it ok to substitute the squats with a leg press like on a sled???
