Hello, its my first post and ive got a question which has been bugging me for ages.
Im 6'2" and i really struggle to do the deadlift 'properly' because of my height. By this i mean, i generally just do Romanian deadlifts now (which im good at) as i find it spreads the workout over my legs and back more evenly. When i attempt normal deadlifts because of my height and long legs, the position i have to get my body in to lift the weight whilst trying to stop the back curving means it feels like all the focus is on my lower back and cant feel it in the legs.
Is it okay just to stick with RDL then or am i missing out big time by not doing normal deadlifts? if so any tips for what i might be doing wrong?
Look forward to any replies, thank you
