I don't know that there is. Squats would obviously aggrevate any back injury you have, so i suggest you stick with leg press as your primary mass builder. Otherwise, the suggested routine you put up looks ok.

Overall, the workout proposal by the doc looks pretty good!! If the lunges are a problem, you can increase the intensity on the leg presses:

1. Leg Presses - 7 x 20,15,12,10,10,8,6
2. Leg Extensions - 4 x 15,12,10,8
3. Lying Leg Curls - 4 x 15,12,10,8
4. Seated Toe Raises - 4 x 20,15,12,10

I guess pretty much what the doc recommended.

if squats aggrivate your back, leg presses most likely will too. I know nobody likes to hear this, but it may be time to take a bit of time off (by off I mean leg ext-leg curl-calf raise-wont get you a lot of mass but it should stop atrophy).

a few weeks wont kill you, if it stops you from having big problems later in life.

what you suggested louden looks good but what about such high reps

what you suggested louden looks good but what about such high reps

Basically, the higher reps are designed to get your quads warmed up and ready for the higher weights. It is nice to get a blood supply into the knees and hips to prevent serious injury. Also be careful not to bury the legs too deep into the chest, as your lower back will have a tendency to roll. Just find a comfortable depth and let the quads do the work. Remember, the legs are designed to handle tremendous poundages and a high volume of training. This combination of reps will allow you to stimulate endurance and strength fibers. You will be able to get a great workout without hurting your lower back, plus you will walk out of the gym with a tremendous pump! I wish you the best of luck. Injuries suck!!
