Need guidance.
48 year old man
60% bedridden for 2 years
Lost muscle mass system wide
Gained torso fat
Arthritis
Ruptured lumbar discs (2-3, 3-4, 4-5)
Sciatica

I want to build muscle mass in gluteals, hamstrings, quadriceps, calves.
Need ideas that minimize stresses on lumbar region while redeveloping lower
body.

No core or upper body discussion at this time, please.

From what I've read I know there's some good help in this ng. So, thanks in
advance.

Gluteals will present a problem; reverse hypers may be the best you
can do.

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/GluteusMaximus/WtReverseHyperextension.html

Reverse hypers will also help the hamstrings, but instead of training
the hamstrings from hip extension, you can train them by knee flexion:
leg curls.

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Hamstrings/LVLyingLegCurl.html

The quadriceps can be trained by knee extensions.

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Quadriceps/LVLegExtension.html

Calves can be exercise by seated calf raises (soleus) and one-leg
standing calf raises without additional weights (gastrocnemius)

http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Soleus/LVSeatedCalfRaise.html
http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Gastrocnemius/WTSingleLegCalfRaise.html

These are not the optimal exercises for those muscles, but they will
minimize axial loading on the L2-L5 herniated discs.

Go see a physical therapist who can examine you and will understand all of
the medical problems.

In your specific case, if you take the advice of strangers here, you are a
blithering idiot.

Hope that helps, in advance.

Helpful. Wish I'd thought of that!

All great ideas. I can do the hamstring curls with my son's bench, but it
doesn't have back support for the quad extensions, but that may not be an
issue unless I can regain the ability to use some significant weight. I can
do the calf exercises at home, also, although it will be from a simple chair
or bench. The gluteal exercise I'll need to run past the doc, or PT, to see
if I'm clear to try that.

I noticed some of the gluteals act as stabilizers during one of the
exercises. Are these getting strength development stresses as well as the
primary target muscle?
