So I injured my back about a month ago. Doctor told me I have a bulging disc. Did it doing squats....without a belt......never used a belt before that, but boy I've learned my lesson and the importance of belts, smh.

This comes to my question, I've been going to rehab for the past month and change and I've talked with my therapist and he said I could do some light/moderate and supported weight training. So I need a little help/suggestions of what kind of exercises I could/should be doing.

Before I injured myself I was training heavy with the goal of putting on mass, which is still the ultimate objective, but obviously I can't train like that for awhile.....a very long while...sigh. What should I do in terms of diet as well? Should I still maintain the same caloric intake of 3500-4000 cals as I was before? Should I keep my supplement consumption up at the same level?

I know it's a detailed question but being in a position of helplessness sucks. Thanks for your guys help.
