I have a couple metal plates and a ton of screws in my arm. i can't fully extend it. I am missing the last 30 degress. I want to go into powerlifting. I have no pain when I lift, but i just wanted peoples opion of what i should do as far as the deadlift is concern. Would it be ok to keep both arms slightly bent? Give me all you got. List everything you can think of that might help and please don't tell me to consult someone, I am a young college student living in run down apartments surviving off of ramean noodles. I can't afford to consult anything. I am borrowing the internet just to wright this. it's my winter break please leave me alone about grammar errors.

For starters, the arm that you can not fully extend will have to be with the "over-hand" grip. The other hand will be the "under-hand" grip. Does the limited range of motion have anything to do with the tendons, ligaments or muscle? If so, this may be a big problem. When deadlifting, it is important to keep the arms completely straight. If you bend the arms, it puts a lot of stress on the biceps and the bicep tendons. Many people have torn their biceps for this reason. If your range of motion is due to being inflexible because of soft tissue, you are going to have to work on flexibility.

i can't fully extend the arm because of the metal.
I do not know if it is safe. I will slowly move up in weight paying very close attention to my arm, that is the most I can do at this moment. I know that it is surgical steel, but I do not know how that will actually handle once and if i get to heavy weights.

well if u dont know then u shouldnt do them. the last thing u want is to start deadlifting heavy weight and then suddenly *SNAP* and u need surgery.
just ask a doctor, i know u said not to say to consuly any1 but it doesnt cost alot of money to just ask if its ok. in fact it shouldnt cost any to ask the guy who put the metal in there

^...............................Great advice... less money to consult a qualified orthopedic doc than the cost of an emergency room visit and possible surgery from ripping out a metal rode or screw in your arm...

I will try to find the doc and ask him. I will hold off on the deadlift till then. I know as far as the the bench and the squat my elbow won't give me problems, but what type of problems do you think I will run into not being able to fully extend and lock out my arms?

Quick, and safe answer. For the safety, and well-being of you, you should not deadlift.

alright even so, do any of you guys know an exercise that, while not having full extension, could replace the deadlift as far as back muscle usage goes?

If you train at a gym, some have a lower back ext machine.. that will work the lower back fairly well, but you're never going to be able to replace the actual deadlift.. it works almost every muscle in the body..
Here's a link to a back ext machine...

The danger in deadlifting with bent arms is tearing the bicep's tendon.

He's 100% right. Hence,(Yes, I said it) don't deadlift.
