Deadlift Form Advice I know the advice is generally straighter back and lower hips. The issue is that I have a long torso. For reference, 6'1 but only 32" inseam for pants.

How do you "feel" pecs on a bench? I'm a pretty big gym noobie who maxes out at 40 for the bench. Tend to use dumbells more often because no spotter.

Body cues/tips for each exercise - where to find them? For instance, in a RDL, I'm referring to cues like - "make sure no one can take the pen from your armpits", and NOT stuff like "keep the bar close to your thighs".
