If a man had to replace deadlifts, what should he replace them with?
Had a major car accident and it's been a long road to full recovery. I lucked out and my doc is a lifter himself. After nearly a year things are looking up but he and I are both nervous about me deadlifting heavy again. I've been able to get back into highbar squats, and he suggested I throw in reverse hypers in the mean time.
What else should I look into? GHR's? Bridging?
from a life course perspective a car accident is a decent replacement for deadlifts

Just do reverse hypers @ 25% of squat max for 3 sets of 20 reps as rehab/stretching prior to work out. Then start deadlifting, SLDL, good mornings , seated GM, pin/rack pulls -using light weight until your strong again. Work in more reverse hypers @ 50% of squat max for 3sets of 8-10 reps for strength. Then finish everyday with another set of reverse hypers for rehab @ 25% of squat max for 3 sets of 20 reps.

where'd you get the numbers from? is this a known protocol?
>>35458255
If your doc is okay bridges and those norwegian leg curls (or whatever they're called where you like pull yourself around the knee

>25% of 1rpm squat for 3 sets of 20 reps for rehab/traction of spine
>50% of 1rpm squat for 3 sets of 8-12 reps for hamstring/glute development
Those are the protocols Louie Simmons and medical professionals arrived at during all their research and testing.

>>35458582
Rippetoe would've chuckled. Epic xD :^)

There's a couple YouTube videos with Louie explaining it. Look up " Louie Simmons Reverse Hyper"

Good mornings with barbell? Start light, maybe even with a broom or stick, and work up.
>>35458634
cool thanks
>>35458616
Ironic shitposting is shitposting
can you do rack pulls?
>>35458639
The worst option
>>35458715
They're a great assistant exercise, and OP already said he couldn't do deadlifts, so I assume he's still squatting.
>>35458255
Look up Bill Starr rehab protocol
glute ham raise
>>35458639
Good mornings are literally one of the worst exercises on this planets. Nobody should do them ever.

> good mornings
Have literally broken people's back, literally - ask Louie Simmons

>Im too much of a pussy to lift heavy: the post
>>35460879
Yeah, sure, you can do with your body what you like, but there are always alternatives and when I have the choice between a good exercise and one that reportedly fucked up people's backs, I choose the good one, thanks.

Plenty of people fuck up good mornings same as others fuck up other heavy compounds, may I remind you that unless you're lifting elite world class weights a neutral spine won't brake, a good morning is to a stiff legged deadlift the same as what a squat is to a trap bar deadlift.
Not knowing how to properly perform a lift doest mean you should dismiss it, its the same as Normie's dissing deadlifts and squats
>>35458255
literally just deadlifts with less weight.
focus on having PERFECT fucking form.
and forget about the weight.
do a lmao2pl8 deadlift.... hell, do a goddamn 1pl8
don't worry about the ego liftan. just worry about strengthening your back.
deadlifts are the number 1 back rehabilitation exercise of all time
3x25 deadlift or GHR 3 times a week, GHR unweighted, extremely light deadlifts
>>35458529
Reverse hypers with >200 lbs as a rehab protocol? I'm skeptical.
>>35462834
> 200 lbs as a rehab
You need to read the thread again and actually pay attention. Rehab is 25% of raw 1 rpm squat. Strength development is 50% of raw 1 rpm squat.
In order to use 200 lbs as a rehab protocol your 1 rpm raw squat would have to be 800 lbs.
Do us a favor and when you feel like chiming in please don't and instead just read the thread again.

So if you've injured your back, you should do some deadlifts..man I swear some of the dumbest people decide to lift weights
>>35463585
Confirmed for not being a student of the game
There is no reason to be alive if you cant do deadlift
>>35463585
He said he is already doing squats. If he can do squats, he can do light deadlifts.
When I can't deadlift, I usually do things like
Hyperextensions
Hamstring Curl
Hip Thrusts/Glute Bridge
>>35458255
I don't know the nature of your injury anon, but I found bridges (Especially with one leg elevated) amazing. I don't think they strengthen too much per se, but they seem to stretch out and keep the back happy around lifting.
