Ok, Im gonna quote myself here. I understand now what the difference with the Deadlift and Squat are. My problem is I am new at weightlifting,have low back problems and I am afraid to Deadlift and have wrong form and makes things worse. So what I am looking for is another way to Deadlift untill I strengthen my low back muscles and learn proper form, and still be able to work my Low Back and Hamstrings. Ok, I know the Squat will not do it because it works the Quads and not the Low Back and Hamstrings but what about Back Extensions on a hyperextension bench? That works the Low Back and Hamstrings and I dont have to worry about form so much and I can increase weight beargripping weights. What ya think?
