Deadlifts are even worse on a guy with longer legs. They need to have their upper body bent much further forward (ass and hips further back or up) than a manlet does. a 5'6 guy is basically doing rack pulls compared to a 6'+ guy
and all that being said, halo is the tallest guy here. so none of us have any excuses.

Good to know! I can't touch the bar with my chest, it jus strains the hell out of my shoulders. Im assuming some of you taller guys have the same problem.
