Dips can be done, without troubling your back. But lifting dumbbells is not advisable. First, one should develop the core body strength, that is, back, abs, and legs, before trying to strengthen the upper body. Initially, try doing back strengthening ecercises in the gym, along with Vitamin and protein supplementation. After about 2 months, upper body exercises can be started

Its better to avoid exercise involving the back when in acute pain. Exercises that don't involve the back can be done. Once the pain subsides and your friend is comfortable he/she must do core body stretching and strengthening exercises. This will prevent back pain from occurring again. Maintaining good posture and avoiding sudden bending forwards are also best avoided.
