When people write articles instructing others on how to accomplish a lifting exercise, they usually neglect to mention how the differences in human morphology change the manner in which the exercise is executed. Short people have different angles in play when they go to perform a deadlift than a tall person. People with long arms or short legs or long torsos will all perform the deadlift different from people with short arms or longer legs or squat torsos. In this article we will give a brief overview of the effects and consequences that different body types will have on the exercise, so that you can best incorporate these changes into your own lifts.
First what needs to be established is the correct starting position, from which we can determine how variations in human morphology cause it to change. The correct starting position observes certain basic tenets regardless of morphology: the bar must cross over the midline of the foot, such that the barbell itself touches the shins. The shoulders must be slightly over the bar so that the scapula's are directly and vertically placed over the bar, and the back must be straight. With those dictums observed, we can now comment on how different bodies modify the angles at play.
Taller people with long legs will have the greatest variation from shorter people with short legs. When you assume the starting position you want to have your chest raised and your butt angled up, but being tall means that you have to have your back angled more closely to parallel to the ground. Even if you crouch correctly you will be so angled, and this will put more work on the hip extensors when the time comes to straightening out the back. Shorter people will be able to keep a more vertical back, and this will save them effort when it comes to straightening out.
Long arms will tend to counter the effects of a short torso, because they will allow your back to be more vertical than it otherwise would be. The same applies in the opposite case, where shorter arms will force your back to be more horizontal. This usually means that very short arms are usually not found on good deadlifts, since the more horizontal your back the harder it is to lift the greater amounts of weight. Thus it is crucial to observe your own anthropometry and allow that the realities of your body will dictate your talents.
