I also perform some pretty intensive manual labour at work everyday (brick and stone mason).
So I have to question the advice your brother is getting. Or perhaps I need to question my own medical advice...lol.

Oh no problem. He had a lumbar spinal fusion After about 5 months I believe it was, he started back doing his CrossFit work out. He ended up having to go back into surgery as the fusion didn’t hold up. He was told from that point if he didn’t have to then probably avoid that type of workout. Now that could just be more on the cautious side as he doesn’t get paid to do it. Different at the pro athlete level.
Going back to the fellow who came in to my work and talked about the neck disk replacement. Just to be a little more clear,he had it done when it was not so common. He was an older gentleman.
