With weighted back extensions, you can work the same muscles that deadlift does with much smaller risk of injury. If you don't plan to compete in powerlifting, what benefit would there be to doing deadlifts over back extensions, aside from working the traps?

There isn't any benefit to deadlifts. Notice how everyone you see doing deadlifts at the gym is a fat lardass powershitter or a DYEL broccoli haired zoomer?

Made me laugh way more than i should

It’s time to take your meds, you pathetic loser. You’ve been posting non-stop for several weeks now about how you’re too much of a b***h to do deadlifts at the gym
it's nobodys fault except yours that you have the grip strength of a toddler, anon.
also, post physique with time stamp
t. roidtroony
Are you blind? Did you look at your own picture?
lats are much better utilized in other exercises, and i already said that traps don't matter
i definitely feel them on my hamstrings too but maybe thats just tension, not sure if they physically contract during the lift
if you do DLs you turn into red gummy man
Kek
Yeah you're on the right path anon
Don't listen to these morons
DLs are unfamiliar motion
Don't put your body on strain with heavy weights
back extensions only train the erector spinae,the top of this image is moronic
They do glutes as well
t. never done an extension in their life
The movement pattern is almost identical with that of an RDL.
Based. Also doing more quad dominant deadlifts e.g. more like a clean or clean pull sacrifices very little of the deadlift and has more athletic transfer.
Hypers with isometric holds are really awesome.
I ruptured 2 discs deadlifting like a ego maniac homosexual about 2 years back. Took 3 procedures and so much PT to get back to form.
Now i unironically do
>reverse hypers
>single leg dumbells RDLs
>farmers carries
>barbell squats (ass2grass)
>pistol squats
And will never deadlift heavy for reps again. The above mentioned exercises do more than enough for the all muscles used in a deadlift- and I have minimum injury risk.
The reverse hypers have bulletproofed my lower back. I'm in better shape now than ever in my life.
>SERIOUSLY IF YOU LIKE BACK EXTENSIONS AND WANT A SEXY RPC/LOWER BACK, DO WEIGHTED REVERSE HYPER EXTENSIONS
And the trap-bar farmers carry still basically requires a heavy deadlift to lift into position, but it's not for reps and maintain perfect form.
I don't like deadlifts because to do them correctly requires me dragging the bumpy metal stick against my delicate shin skin and I create a bloody mess each time
>reverse hypers
no way I'm putting my fingies in that metal latch
Just add some handles outside the joint area then. Run a long threaded bolt or something through and that'll be good enough to hold onto.
Holy shit I never thought of doing reverse hypers like this before. I always put a yoga ball on the bench and did shitty wobbly ones with bands.
I could use my cable on this since I don't have to worry about the shitty frayed ends popping the ball too.
I do reverse hypers like this and add ankle weights for resistance. Works bc my gym doesn't have a true reverse hyper machine
i wish my gym had a trap bar, barbell deadlift always feels like its gonna snap some shit up
unironically trap bar deadlifts are more risky because there's now open movement in the sagittal plane, when a straight barbell would otherwise prevent this.
yes but you hold the weight behind you instead of in front so it's more of a squat and your'll frick up your knees first which is less severe than your spine. So, again, for idiots, it's the better way to go.
What's with this recent crusade against squats and deadlifts on this board?
Really doesn't feel organic
op here, i hurt my lower back pretty badly recently (not working out or carrying anything) and ive been scared to deadlift for like a week now, hence the thread
i'm not getting paid by "big isolation" to start a thread against a compound exercise, i just want to get some advice
You can substitute pretty much any exercise for another. Don't do them if you don't want to, or do, you wont hurt yourself if you keep good form.
I would like to think that maybe people are finally waking up to the fact that there is a Goddamned WWII battlefield's worth of snapped up lifters from these cursed traditions. But I'm not so optimistic, no doubt soon we'll be right back to LOL JUST SQUAT AND DIDDLY IF U GET HURT UR DUMB.
D.lifts deserve it. Never really see people hating squats.
You can also try nordic curls OP, they increase the leverage arm so they are harder than back extentions.
JUST DO FRICKING RACK PULLS
There is no reason other than blind obedience to the social norms of weightlifting. In other words groupthink
WHY NOT BOTH?
The only reason to do back extensions is to increase your deadlift.
You either do deadlifts or you live long enough to see yourself become the homo
extensions dont do upper back they work lower back wtf is this moronic graphic
I'm starting to think the anti deadlift crowd is just Chinese state propaganda to keep anons weak
DL is what all dyels do though.
50 cents have been deposited in your account
what do you pull?
Back extensions fricked up my hips and gave me sciatica pain for a week. Deadlifts, unlike hip hinges where you don't hold the bar in your hands, give you massive upper back gains, that not even rows can give.
So do deadlifts if you don't want to look weak.
Those back extensions will frick you up
Hey anon where did you get this models?
I'm gonna photoshop my excercise routine into collage or smth
I can never set the height right on the back extension. Do I do it hip height? Lower, higher?
slightly lower, it's a hip hinge movement so you need a little bit of play
Low enough that you don't crush your balls.
I usually put my balls and wiener between the two pads. Below the crotch hurts my back. I usually have it at the hip.
My balls are too big i think, or i am too fat either.
But i often just do back extensions for like sets of 20, super setted with hamstring curls as some deadlift assistance.
