Doesn't this make it inevitably partially a squat? I'm only interested in the back workout. Normally I like to isolate muscle groups in workouts because I know exactly how much of the workout is being done by a specific muscle group. Also I know one muscle group isn't the "weakest link" and causing the other(s) to not work out as much as they could / enough.

For instance I'm thinking to use a sitting cable lat machine as a deadlift machine in my one complex gym as it has limited machines. But that would involve keeping my legs straight and essentially doing a row motion where I don't pull in with the arms or push out with the legs.

I actually blew my back out squatting last night like a fucking IDIOT. I was like let’s go for a new high. I wasn’t gonna get it. So instead of bailing I pushed through it and my form went out. 10,000 squats with good form, no problem. One bad squat with bad form. My fucking back is killin me. I’m not gonna be workin out for a week atleast I guess technically I did get the weight. I don’t count it though. I’m so mad at myself
