The reason I have to switch to high reps isn't bro-science, it's that I need to lower the weight to avoid further injury to my back. If I lower the weight in my normal sets, I obviously have to increase the reps, how else am I gonna achieve any kind of hypertrophy?
What do you expect me to do, lower the weight and do 9 reps whereas I used to do 10-12 reps of much heavier weights?
I still need to expend my muscles somehow, but avoiding further strain. This isn't permanent, last time it took about 3 weeks to heal, and it'll probably go faster this time. But for the time being, I do know what I'm doing.
Workouts that don't involve the back?? and work on your form.
There shouldn't be back issues if you're using solid form.
but I gotcha, do take it easy and heal up
