I was watching a video by Bret Contreras in which he said we should use anterior tilt during vertical movements like squats and deadlifts and posterior tilt during horizontal movements like hip thrusts and back extensions. Now I have a herniated disc in my lower back and so far the only back exercises I have been able to do without aggravating that are pulldowns/pullups, machine pullovers, and seated hammer strength rows. Unfortunately I dont have access to a good seated hammer machine at the gym I am at now, and I would like to use the chest-supported T-bar row, but in the past this has aggravated it as well. I am wondering whether Bret's advice may be helpful in this regard, and I am not sure whether this movement would be considered horizontal or vertical. What do you guys think? Also, any tips for training back with this herniated disc would be appreciated as well.

Just to make sure everyone knows, anterior pelvic tilt is pushing the butt out (tilting the top of the hip bones forward).

My advice would be to make sure you achieve "neutral spine" in all lifting positions. The spine is not a joint, it is designed to hold a static position while other things do the lifting. The only position in which the discs of the spine aren't "pinched" is neutral. Because of the way the muscles of the spine attach, the muscles themselves are also in their strongest position while neutral.
