    deadlifting?

    rowing's good for cardio fitness. it did give me a herniated disc in my lower back though, but that's a different matter.

    My physio suggested core work, specifically pilates for my lower back/disc recovery, swimming and cycling were also mentioned.

    Doesnt sound like a lower back "weakness" is causing it. Sounds more like the symptom of something else. Probably a mobility or activation isse somewhere in your lower body or maybe thoracic spine. Sports physio/osteo is what yah need to diagnose it. Not some barbell movement to fix it.
