Alternatives to deadlifts

[McNutty1]

I can't find a way to lower back to make deadlifts safe for me so I decided to quit them. What exercises can I do as substitutes for the Deadlift?

If its because you have a past injury, like myself....I find that partial deadlifts work well for me. Not going crazy with the weight, but just focusing on making those lower back muscles strong. I set the pins in the power rack just below my knee and pull from there. Go light if you need to.

Rack pulls and hyperextensions, wouldn't do good mornings if your concern about deadlifts is safety

As an all around exercise, there are none. You either deadlift, which works multiple body parts and arguably is the best muscle building exercise out there, or you don't.

Nothing compares, have been looking for a comparable lift for a while

You could strengthen your core and learn how to do them correctly?

Rack pulls all day baby

If your worried about your back on the deadlift, give sumo a shot and you'll be more upright and have less chance to snap your back up. Belt squat might also be another option or just squat more

[Brynden]

Rack pulls, sumo deadlift, romanian deadlift, pull throughs, glute ham raises, good mornings...

why is that you cant find a way? are you injured? if you cannot do regular deadlifts because of a back injury im pretty sure you wont be able to do good mornings, rack pulls which in my opinion is harder on the back, or any other deadlift variation.
