x2 on these.
More detail about your back issue will help us figure out some good options. But I don’t know how you’d do a “belt deadlift”.
It is okay to not deadlift if you have an injury. You have to be smart about exercise choices, not just do the things you think you’re supposed to do. Dumbbell options or single-leg work are usually better/“safer” bets but, again, we’d need to know what injury you’re dealing with.

9�° scoliosis. Not a big one, but enough to take care.[/quote]
Unless a doctor told you specifically to avoid certain movements or told you the curve has progressed, or unless you’re currently having issues moving, I’d probably proceed as if there was no actual problem, training-wise. Maybe include some regular mobility work and posture practice. Belt squats are a fine option, but full barbell deadlifts with perfect technique may be one of the best possible exercises for you. Start light, of course, but do work on them.

Still, swings with scoliosis. I wouldn’t.[/quote]
I’d probably agree with that, depending on the individual. But for reference, unless we don’t have the whole story, the dude hardly has scoliosis. From the National Scoliosis Foundation: “…if a curve is less than 10 degrees, we don’t even dignify it by calling it scoliosis. Instead, we might refer to it as a postural variation.”

I know more about back rehab than you ever will.
And yes, you can absolutely do light kettlebell swings to rehab your back[/quote]
How much is a light kettlebell for you?[/quote]
something you can handle for sets of 20-30 reps. It’s more of a glute activation drill than anything.[/quote]
More assumptions.
A kid with scoliosis, however minor, who doesn’t know how to lift is supposed to know the proper weight to use to perform a kettlebell swing?.. which is often incorrectly performed to an otherwise un-coached individual.

jesus
Obviously he needs to do the exercise properly.
Light kettlebell swings can be used as a glute activation drill and to groove the hip hinge movement pattern, which is great for back rehab.
If you don’t agree with that then it’s just an agree to disagree situation at this point.
