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.
