Injury advice

I’ve had some back pain building up for a few weeks. I went for a
sports massage on Friday and it was sore all weekend. I ignored the
pain and trained anyway. Monday is snatches, 1st work set pulled my
groin so had to stop. Later on when I was home my shin went numb,went
to the doctors he thinks L4 disc is bulging,I’ve had a prolapse ten
years ago in L4,L5 so I should have known better. The pain was unreal
yesterday but today it’s not so bad and about 50% of the numbness
has gone.

I know what to do in the way of recovery so I’m cool with that but I
do need some advice on training round the injury. It will be back to
basics regarding lifting, concentration will be on perfect form with
an empty bar and mobility. I might as well make the most of this, use
it like a reset for my bad habits.

MY QUESTION IS I’m going to be out of lifting heavy for at least 6
weeks I’d say. Does anyone have any advice what I can do in the way
of training until then? Or things I can do to make sure I don’t lose
any mass that I’ve gained. I’m already running 150mg of test enth
per week TRT. If that makes any difference.

I’ll be grateful for any input.
