So I started working out again after a long break because of a back injury and I've been wondering how to have at least some gains and not get injured again.
I used to do 4-5 sets to failiure, and around three exercises per body part for example back - chin ups, cable rows, lat pull downs, chest - bench, dip, cable flies. I was also focusing on lower rep ranges.
I decided to do 2 sets to failure instead with higher rep ranges.I also decided to do 2 exercises per bodypart.
Will that be sufficient to build muscle? I kinda have ro limit the amount of excercise because when I do more my back starts to hurt real bad.

Yes. Make sure to get plenty of rest so you can grow.

Will look it up, I went to physiotherapy which helped me a lot. I somehow strained my upper back muscles, my family doctor told me that I just have shitty genetics so my muscles don't heal well after injuries
