alternative to barbell for deadlift

[mab30]

New to program, on second day. My gym has no loose barbells, only the encased barbells in the machines that has the safety stops. Is there an alternative machine or technique I can use that would replicate the dead lift?

Pretty much. Can't do a barbell program without barbells (Smith Machine != barbell).

More over, how can somebody do any of the lifts in the novice Starting Strength program without a barbell?

Are you implying that Basic Barbell Training requires a Barbell? I'm perplexed.

I want to know what the first day was like.

Okay thanks for the snarky remarks.Very welcoming. I did squats on one of these

Also had a press machine https://essentialformulasblog.files....lder-press.jpg

So my first workout was fruitful for 2 of the 3 exercises. I would appreciate non-sarcastic responses. Thanks.

And yeah I read the book and also the fourth word. I'm glad you never had to revise a training program because of limitations. Pretty lucky life.
