Advice-Deadlifters w/ Long legs
Deadlifting (not stiff leg, I've no prob w/ that) has always been one of those exercises that I wanted to do, but couldn't seem to get the form down. I've long legs in comparison to my torso - and think I just didn't have the flexibility.
It seemed to have "clicked" last night, and it feels like I'm doing them right (also look in the mirror).... I have a very wide stance though, and my feet turn out about 45 degrees.
My weight is not heavy - 100 lbs so far.
Any advice you can offer... experience, things you've noticed...warnings or "be careful because...." ?
Also, do you do a bunch in a row w/out putting the bar down, or do you do one, center yourself, and start over? I've been doing the latter. Last time I tried them I did a bunch in a row (only 70 lb) and something gave in my knee and I could barely walk for a week.
Thanks,
Meg (excited about adding this exercise)
