I would appreciate suggestions on a substitute for deadlifts in Cathe's workouts. I have a bulged disc in my lumbar spine and have been advised against deadlifts by a physical therapist. I asked the PT what he suggested, but his suggestion doesn't work into Cathe's workouts: supine weighted bridges. Short of pausing the workout to put on ankle weights and do ham curls a la The Firm, which also interrupts the flow, I'm at a loss. (The original injury was a year ago, and happened during a long set of deadlifts.) I've been pausing and doing the weighted bridges or using ankle weights for curls, but it just isn't the right answer for most all Cathe's workouts.
Any ideas?
