To work your lower back you could do hyperextensions.
IMO you should just man up and deadlift.Trust your gut instinct, it might not always be right, but at least it is what you want to do

Back extension machine. I don't like using it though. It doesn't feel natural.

<- puzzled as to why OP can't do BB DL's?
The most important opponent you will ever face in life is your mind.
Nothing can stop you faster than yourself.

Yes. Deadlifting is deadlifting no matter the equipment. The question is, what are your goals? Possibly not your best bet if youre training for powerlifting or strongman but for general fitness knock yourself out.
Second by second, you lose the opportunity of becoming the person you want to be.

deadlift with cables...?Originally Posted by beastisized
if you don't like using barbells because of calluses then its either tape up the callus(tape or paper towel) or buy some gloves and get lifting
if grip is an issue try mixed grip
if you just don't like deadlifts then **** it, you're not in the gym to feel comfortable or be wrapped up in a cloud. only way you'll achieve is by getting out of your comfort zone

You can do an RDL/SLDL or good morning (I do heavy good mornings) if you don’t want to deadlift. The same muscles will get worked but with less weight, less neural fatigue and you get an eccentric component which will carry over to your actual deadlift. Since I switched to GMs as a primary posterior chain exercise the muscles involved feel like they have gotten a proper workout AND I don’t feel like death the rest of the week.
As some other members above me have said, you can try the hex bar as well. Gonna have to man up and use a bar of some kind though. Back extensions/GHR won’t cut it and you don’t wanna be the guy doing cable pull throughs...
