    Deadlifts with smith or ez curl bar

    My bitch gym doesn't have any barbells. Basically its a chain and I joined the awesome one in a different town and now go to this little garage sized one in my new town.

    Is there any way to deadlift with a smith?

    Is there any way to deadlift with the preacher ez curl bar?

    I'm not looking to do superman weight here I just want to get back into deadlifts.

    I have no idea. How do you squat/bench without a barbell? Sorry for not helping in this post.

    The smith is gonna be weird cause it's gonna keep you on the set track up and down. IMO that would feel awkward and your back isn't something to be experiment with. The whole gym has machines and no free weights ?

    I wouldn't go with the Smith thats for sure. I've done lighter deads with the preecher bar, its not bad believe it or not. And other then that maybe start doing dumbell deads, on the bright sides of things at least you get to switch it up.. That sucks not having a bar though. After a back injury of mine i did alot of preecher curl deads and bench rows that were lighter, it helped get back into deadlifts personally.
