How do I deadlift with this piece of shit? I can't afford a gym yet and this is the best option I have, but I'm pretty tall and it's tough to bend that far down and maintain form
I know I'm going to be laughed out of /fit/ but I have to start somewhere and I'm done waiting until the gym. Today is the day I begin my journey
Bumping myself in hopes of an actual response
Add some blocks on both ends to simulate the height of a typical lmao1pl8

A cat is fine too

Simulate the movement without lifting. Do it until you can keep your back in the right position.
How much does the cat weigh?

that's a good idea, thank you
>>35104183
I feel decent at the movement, it's just the bending down far enough part with long legs. Should I try sumo?
>>35104183

cat is based, dunno weight but fat as fuck
>>35104223

If you have long femurs, sumo is the way to go. At 6'2 and with crazy long legs, it's the only way to get my hips close to the bar.
>>35104347
sounds like i'll probably go that route then, 6'4" here and my legs aren't particularly long compared to my body but they are still long in general
thanks man
>>35104265
Ayyyy lmao

fuck the haters. most of /fit/ doesn't even lift, let alone having access to a gym, and you're determined enough to macgyver it
you're gonna make it
>>35104148
You can pick it up by the scruff if you're having trouble, that will probably be easier if you're not getting a good hold on it.
>>35104537
op here, screencapping your comment for future motivation
thank you sincerely anon
>>35104549
I can get a hold on it, but I have to bend down so far that my back arches outward and I can't keep it in good form
>>35104183
You forgot the desu.....
>>35104265
looks like it would work, for 1 rep
