Hello friends
I've been doing stronglifts for a few months and since weights are getting heavy i got concerned regarding my spine situation
I have operated scheuermann's disease, pic is me after surgery 8 years ago. All the titanium is probably weld to the bone by now
I'm mostly concerned about squats, i'm high bar squatting shy of 200 lbs, deloading now to get better form. Will post form video for check please. I don't know how much of the weight is held by the spine and how much by muscle
I will contact the doctor who did this.
Does anyone have a similar condition or knows about the effects of lifting on the spine itself?

Don't squat heavy you're 1000% more likely to snap your shit up. You should consider yourself blessed desu

Thanks good info
Also tried to get into front squats but my arms felt very awkward and even hurt, will investigate further
You must be fucking retarded to squat with your spine full of nails and shit

talk to your doctor

Work on your wrist mobility before you try front squatting with a clean grip. If you are doing an cross arm grip then focus on keeping your elbows up so the weight doesn't pull you forwards. Clean grip is the preferred way but some people like X grip. Give both a shot
you have extremely bad Forward Head Posture ;_;
like, beyond-fixing bad....
or is this posture on purpose for the picture?

I do have fhp but as i said that pic is short after the operation, i had been in bed for a week and just had my back sliced open. Also the operation has that effect, it fixes the toracic spine position but the neck and head tend to stay where they used to be. It's a lot better now thanks

Ask your doctor brah. He knows what a squat is. If not, tell him it's slapping 200lbs on your skeletal system and praying it holds together.
