I'm halfway through MAPS Anabolic after 4 months off due to an L4-L5 bulging disc from work. Before that, I was still doing MAPS Anabolic-style training, mostly in the sagittal plane. Yesterday, I was on the sand with my dog, and she twisted me a little, causing my lower back to feel a little twingy today. I think I need to add some rotational movements, as I'm quite strong in the sagittal plane. I really want to finish MAPS Anabolic because I'm committed, but I need to look after my back, and functionality is so important. My primary focus is fat loss. Would you recommend just adding some rotational movements into Anabolic or switching to another MAPS program?

Should I continue with MAPS Anabolic and just add some rotation, or should I switch to another MAPS program?
I purchased the Anabolic, Performance, and Aesthetic programs. I completed Anabolic and then started Performance, but I tore my ACL skiing and can't do any lower body work. Do you have any suggestions on how to move forward and continue with arms and abs? Is there a program that focuses more on upper body and abs that might help me through this recovery?
