Yeap, joined the 10km. Was extremely not satisfied with my performance on enr i just had to make amends

Running isn't a priority of mine. Its like me asking you to challenge yourself and do 100kg bench for reps.

I just joined to make amends and prove myself, for me. That's it. I don't have a running goal whatsoever.

haha that one beast mode fail, check this one out it has funtional Beast Mode:

NSK?

It is the lower back extension and the answer is no. Why? Deadlift and Lower Back Extension (LBE) do work the lower back area but Deadlift have more advantages as more weight can be use compared to LBE. Furhter more, Deadlift is a compound exercises and by replacing it with LBE, you will lose all the worked muscle that deadlift will do.

Well, if you want to do deadlift just for the sake of the lower back exercise, it depends. If you go for heavy deadlift, it need a lot of energy and might fatigue you and make the whole routine hard. For me, deadlift is more to the leg exercise as I do it on my leg day. For lower back, you might stick to LBE but it totally depends on you. That is just my opinion, other forumers might have different say on this matter.

u can add weight to this back extension. go YouTube to see how u can put the weight at your traps. and no harm doing this together with dead lift.

It depends on your form.

Good form, good growth. Bad form, you're in for trouble.

Personally for me, I barely do the classic deadlift anymore and sometimes I throw in a few (light) sets of straight leg deads on leg day

Tweaked my back really really badly a few months a go with admittedly poor form while warming up on 2 plates a side (only ard 200-220 give or take).

Took me 2 1/2 weeks to feel "normal" again and thank god no hernia.

Scary knowing slightly sloppy form on such light weights can put you in a world of pain (my max lift was around 320lbs + bar) and I couldn't lie on my back for 3 days. Was so shit scared I'd need surgery on a hernia.

Now I just use the ***** back extension machine.
