Too fat to deadlift? Gut getting in the way of starting form.
6'3, 300 lbs, 28% BF, long torso but short arms and legs.
Any alternative exercises?

wider, or pull sumo. You should also stretch.
I'm 5'11 345 lbs man, I know the struggle.
Keep deadlifting, nothing better than heavy compounds.

Why is everyone on this board so tall and overweight?
>Sup, /fit/! I'M 8'13" and 10000lbs 70% bf. Am I too fat and tall to squat?
>>35437961
Eat less food

yes

widen your stance a bit
Stretch
Practice form every session
I deadlifted just fine at 275 lbs when I started.
>long torso
>short arms
> short legs (hopefully femur)
your alternatives are: squat, snatch, clean&jerk
Romanian deadlifts?

Attached, closest thing I have at the moment. Otherwise just flab and bitch tits.

Will give sumo a go, one of the problems is getting low enough to the bar, so hopefully that should work.. I tried wide grip previously but found that I was rounding the back to reach lower for the bar.
Any recommendations on stretches or stretching programs?

Selection bias?

I am 5'10" 305 and deadlift just fine. Man up and pull the weight. Stop looking for excuses or outs.
6'1 285 here, definitely not thin by any strecth, I deadlift just fine. Stretch every day, practice getting into form. There's no excuse why your "gut" should get in the way. Drink a lot of water and piss out whatever excess bullshit you have in there to flatten it out some.

head is cocked up, keep neutral with spine. also your lower back is rounded before you even start

there are females at my commercial gym who can rep 145 for 5+. is this montage fake lol
What stretches are you guys talking about?
Stretch your fucking glutes, hams and IT band.
Use risers for now.
Use a trap bar
Don't use fucking squat shoes for deadlifts, you're shifting the load onto your quads and straining your lumbar and being shitty.

Why the fuck are you wearing knee sleeves for deadlifts
Yup, you're too fat to deadlift. I bet you regret spending $280 for Adipowers and a pair or Rehbands now, don't you?
Man up and stop looking for excuses.
>>35440265
I was wearing chucks for the DLs.. will try those stretches
>>35440285
Just finished squats, no point taking them off just for DLs when I would just put them on again for OHPs
>>35440298
Not much of a dent in the wallet m8. Will put more use on them in the future when I'm not as much of a fatty.

there is no alternative to the deadlift
the deadlift is the only fullbody compound
it is fucking king
you can look at curlbros and squatfags and instantly see the lack of a balanced core and spinal erectors in people that should have them
the solution is to lose weight and to let the best exercise known to man back into your life
