Iv changed my diet and put on three kilos in a couple of weeks. up to 78k(STOKED) I was doing SLDL a copule of days ago and managed to hurt my back. Iv'e had lower back problems since i was younger - scoliosis, Is there some thing i could substitute the SLDL for that would benifit my back also ... Any way iv gotta lay off the weights for a week- phisio's orders.
First up, show your physio the workout and ask for recommendations about it.
Most probably, they will be able to recommend some bodyweight exercises which can strengthen the weakened muscles.
Speaking as someone with lumbar scoliosis (which may be more or less severe than yours, I don't know), I do not deadlift at all. And in place of barbell rows, I recommend bent-over dumbell rows, at least to begin with, it's much less strain on your lower back.
