    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Mehdi in another thread wrote:t's the length of limbs that play a role. if the bar is lower, it gets harder at the bottom. However if your arms are long too, you don't have too pull as high. Torso/limb length influences lever arm too, so it's a bit more complicate than that

So I oversimplified. It just seems like a lanky person might be better built for deads, at least relative to bench press. But perhaps I'm incorrect in assuming they'd be better built for deads in comparison to a shorter person.
