I still outsquat my gym buddy who's about 5'6, somehow.. Most of his other lifts are on par though.
Do anyone else struggle with deadlifts and keeping a straight back? I was reading about how tall guys should adopt a "sumo" stance for deads to get the knees out of the way."Today’s bodybuilders are carrying too much muscle for their frames, which distorts and obscures the natural lines of the body. Why these men would aspire to deform themselves at such tremendous sacrifice is incomprehensible."

6'5" 230 here! Working on my way down to 200 to get lean and then begin to bulk. I has dropped from 255lbs and love every minute of it. I dont miss any of the junk food that i used to eat and the only thing on my mind is my goals! Its not shirts i have problems finding its jeans! Ones that dont bunch in the back or crotch. BP is my stronger lift but ive always had a strong chest. Squats kill me with the travel but i push through it. Best squat is 415lbs 8 times and BP is 305lbs

Just go full range of motion. get some mass by doing heavy lifts, deadlifts, squats. these will help your other lifts. Makin all kinds of gains!
Muscle looks way better on a tall person than a shortie. Ex. Gunter Schiierkampf, Mike Ohearn, Arnold, Antoine Vaillant.
Us 6 footers must eat at least 3000 calories a day to grow.
Peace
