If you’re asking if ‘belt squats’ are safe, it depends on your injury and how proficient you are at the movement, your build and of course the goal. This is really a personally specific question and I’d need to see you squat, your MRI and what causes you pain. etc.

The biggest approach is to get out of pain before you train again. All of this training around back pain nonsense that I’m seeing is quite misleading.

If the former (Dan addressed this) then I would not.

Hope this helps!
