Simple answer is that if you hate doing a lift......don't do itHey brehs, I've been working out about 8 months and I wanna know if it is a good idea to replace deadlifts with back extensions. I know people say its a great exercise for adding mass and that it is a compound exercise that works lats, traps, forearms, etc. But I just fukking hate doing deadlifts. I do a PPL split so I figured that I'm getting enough volume to add mass to my other muscles and I just need to develop the lower back. Which is why I thought that doing mad amounts of back extensions (with a couple variations) would develop my spinal erectors. Am I right in this thinking?

Hard to go back when you are eating well and performing in the gym.Man, I really wanna do a cut for the summer and get these abs poppin more but I'm on too much of a roll right now and don't want any performance setbacks
I'm just gonna stick with what I been doing, I guess. Been on that maintenance calories wave for a while now.

"performance" in the gym is completely useless, unless you're competing for something
most people workout for the look, so fukk the maintenance calories and go for the physique

Depends on how you define performance

Yeah that's the only thing I hate about it. It takes me at least a hour and half to do full body.
my father let me use his credit card to sign up for a month on nutrisystem.
hopefully that helps me too...i'll provide an update in a week.

Yeah man, you don't "need" to do deadlifts. There are so many other exercises that can supplement doing deadlifts. Deadlifts are so much of a strain on your back and overall body.
