I've just moved into an apartment with a built in gym.

Yay! I can save money on my gym membership

BUT! They dont have any barbell or squat rack. How will I ego deadlift now????

Wondering what dead loft alternatives I have on a cable machine?

Also willing to consider kettle bells or anything else I can buy / donate to the gym short of an entire barbell set and squat rack

Not sure there are any good or direct cable alternatives for a deadlift, mostly because cable machine stacks aren't big enough for deadlifting.

There was a video of Jeff Nippard doing deadlifts on a cable row machine. If you're interested in testing it out. https://youtube.com/shorts/mYROrXBWfKA

But otherwise you'd probably have to separate out this movement into multiple different movements rather than single one.

Tried this and the guys at the gym told me I'm rowing wrong lmao
