good mornings
RDLs or SLDLs (since they don't go down to the floor)
DB RDLs
DB deadlifts
hypers
glute ham raises



Why can't you deadlift in the power rack if there is no room? All you need to do is set a bar on the floor. I don't understand the problem. Also, why the heck did you even ask? Why not just go in and do it?

Dude my old gym said thta, just grab a bech bar and have at it. fuck em. I think these are a very good exercise, and these are my favorites.

i love em too but the gym said that thye wont have powerracks

how are you going to squat?

the gym hasnt oppedned yet there in construction, but i asked him abot squatrs n he said they would have a squat rack but i thought that was like a cage but accordin to da guy its not( or maybe it it)

Find a new gym as soon as you can.

Find A new gym you need to deadlift

vicky

I don't want to have to compromise on one of the most important lifts there are. If I'm ever a member at a gym that tells me not to deadlift, then I will tell them to suck my dick. Seriously.

I would find a new gym. No power cage AND you can't deadlift? Okay, fuck that.

i hear ya bou the gym but moneys a factor, i got a golds by me but it too much n there a powerhouse but im asumin ittl be as expensive as golds

What kind of difference are we talking here? $10 a month, $15? It's worth it.
