Need deadlift alternative, por favor!

[pjlippert]

Howdy y'all,

I need a good alternative for deadlifts. I have a head-cold/sinus infection and it is just toooo darned painful to bend over.

Gracias, amigos!!

What about a stability ball hamstring curl or one leg hip lifts off the edge of a step? If you have a squat rack, then I would suggest rack pull (where you don't have to lower all the way) Hope you feel better

Would you prefer an alternative that focuses on the hamstrings or the lower back?

Stability ball roll ins for sure. You get to do them lying down! Mind you, they are much harder than deadlifts and also more effective. You can do two legged, one legged with other leg in the air, one legged with other leg crossed over first at the knee, etc, etc.
