I started getting back pain a month ago and was recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Ive been told I should no longer do barbell squats, deadlifts, bent over rows. qq. Should I just give up? How do I replace the most important excersizes? Hack squats vs leg press?
Ankylosing Spondylitis basically means that my spine will fuse together if I'm not careful
if you only care about building a nice looking body none of those excerscises are important, they just happen to be the 2 main power lifting movements
powerlifting doesnt eqaul body building. you can build a good back using machines for christ sake, and honestly chin ups and pull ups are better than bar bell rows.
i fucked my back doing dead lifts yesterday so im done with them now. and leg press is better than hack squats

Thanks for the advice.
Anyone have a good strength program without squats and deadlifts lol
Just do a strength program and switch out exercises you cant do.
