    Leg length and arm length in Dead-lift

    It seems hard for many people including myself to apply proper form to the dead-lift, if you have longer legs like me I notice I have to drop weight to compensate for the angle at which
    I am pulling from.

    heels close, toe out, lift at legs, thrust hips at knee height, shoulders back lock out.

    anyone have similar problems and recommendatory?

    Play around with your form. I find a sumo pull is best for my body type. A lot of guys do a sumo/tradtional hybrid.

    It also might be simple lack of flexibility that makes the movement seem out of whack.

I'm guilty of that sh*t too, waiting for somebody to powder my nuts cuz I did 20 reps of whatever the **** on the bench. Big f*king deal. It is all relative." G Diesel
