I’m not substituting anything, but see a lot of guys using trap bars—evidently a little easier on the lower back.

A person could always use lower weight and work on form to work into it.

Dont want to detail the wod thread, but I would gently encourage you to learn correct deadlift technique with a regular bar. The deadlift is the easiest barbell lift to coach someone else how to learn, and there is no substitute. Intermediate strength athletes may benefit from rack pulls or other DL variations.

Deadlift is leaps and bounds easier to learn than a proper squat.

Look up starting strength on YouTube, start light, and take baby steps progressing over time.

Todays workout: 3 miles with 30lbs on my back.

Question for those not deadlifting: what are you substituting it for?

Want to get back into some DL but I want to start with something less intense as an ease of entry

Banded good mornings are a good substitute. Also if you listen to Pavel Tsatsouline, a well-known strength coach, kettle bell swings are all you need to develop the hinging movement.

Thanks, that's good to know. I like the look of those good mornings I'll have to work em into my warm up

 

[brca005]

I sprinkle in banded good mornings when I think of them, which isn't very often, but I do KB swings on the regular with various weights and reps. I only have KB's, a 20# vest, some bands and gymnastic rings, but I try and do various different KB deadlifts on the regular as well.

I'd also recommend looking into Starting Strength if you are getting back into lifting.
