Van, can't see the picture. But front squats, safety bar squats, and safety bar box squats (not touch and go) have always worked well as an alternative.

Maybe you are right !

I never had any back pain while deadlifting but I can't do squat anymore

just unracking the bar, something pinches a nerve in my lower back and it hurts like hell.
Even with 135 lbs

I had a similar problem for nearly 3yrs, Stavios. I couldn't touch 185 or else I would feel my back pop. I could deadlift, do lunges and hack squats, but no Back squats. Front squats were iffy, but usually a no go.
One day I got a massage hoping that would cure the issue, and just hoped it wasn't a disc or something serious/major. I told her my weak back issues, and they tested my back and I didn't even move. When I got to my psoas muscles, I nearly hit the roof.
Once I started to loosen my psoas up, I'm fine and have been squatting again for about a year. Nearly back to my old weight.
So, I'm not saying that's the your problem, but if you haven't, maybe something you can check into.

Raw or equipped? Approximately what kind numbers are you shooting for?

Probably raw, not sure about numbers. I have to look up what a decent weights are for my weight and age. It's been along time.

He should start deadlifting. Avoiding lower back work doesn't ever seem to improve a bad back. He needs to strengthen the lower back if he has back problems. Reverse hypers, deadlifts, good mornings, etc.

My dad blew his back when squatting, and I think it was partly because he never deadlifted.

In 35 years of training I've never had any back problems.

Hey dude, as far as I can see, I'm only hated for my political views. Oh well, that ain't gonna change.

And you don't deadlift, right? Never did? As I recall you aren't a fan of the lift, though now that you're into all this elitefts and westside and t-nation (fag-nation) writer/trainer stuff you'll have to keep this opinion on the down low. :D

What do you think of good mornings?

No, I'm just not a fan of deadlifting for bodybuilding. When I was powerlifting years ago I deadlifted regularly. If you recall from my postings along time ago, I trained with Gus Rethwich and before that Dave Shaw. You have to also remember back in the day before all of these nice pretty gimmick machines came out, we trained heavy, I've always trained heavy. We were doing conjugate training before they used the word "conjugate".
