What is a good work out to do in place of dead lifts?

I want to do the P.H.U.L. routine but my doctor advised me to not do deadlifts last year because of severe scholiosis.

@agrowperia Unfortunately, there's no other movement that can replace deadlifts. You can train the same muscles as the deadlift works, but never get the benefits that the deadlift provides. It's better to just skip the exercise than risk hurting yourself. If you'd like more tips I have a YouTube channel where I discuss fitness and nutrition.

@agrowperia Well I'm doing kettleball swing just to get some strength before I attempt to get my form down/start light deadlift. I'll go w/the hexbar b/c I injured lower right back squatting years ago. It's likely a 'pinched' disc but only on that side. Still, have to be careful. Start light.

No real substitute in my book b/c the deadlift is a compound lift but I suppose you could do leg press w/ plates and then other exercises to flesh out the rest of the "chain"; DL also activates traps, rhomboids, etc.

One thing is not sure how often I'll incorporate DL in my leg day b/c of lower back. When I return to my old routine I only hit lower back every 9 days so I'll have to gauge it.

Good luck.
