 Taleban says his views on women are extreme Member 639, 3518 posts SQ 10, BP 10, DL 1030.0 kgs @ 10kgs Eq | Just a quicky, in your personal opinion what would be the best stance for a person like myself who has poor levers for deadlifting? Close or wide? Im 6"2 but have midget legs and a very long back as my physio tells me ha my lockout height is literally bollock line! Also i think it says a lot as it turns out im s**te at stiff leg deads (close stance) but as i found out yesterday im strong at this snatch grip deadlift thing?! Hope someone has some insight... | ||

Should help with fatigue as a set goes on. So it's definitely something to think about  | ||

Nigel - i'd say post a video of both a sumo and a conv deadlift. Of course you can improve both with work. It also depends on how long your legs are. Any conv and sumo vids? | ||

Am I elite? Member 1674, 306 posts SQ 350, BP 250, DL 305905.0 kgs @ 93kgs Eq | Try watching some videos of Dean Bowring deadlifting on youtube if there are any? Has to grip the bar quite wide because he was enormous, but gets really low and uses the suit properly (I'm assuming you use a suit for the strongman?) But it is textbook and he finishes the lift around his nuts | ||
