Basically I have long legs and short arms and couldn't deadlift properly for many eons, it's literally impossible to straighten my lumbar back, trying as hard as possible only makes it less curve and build up a ton of lactic and that is just on set up, usually dropping my hips low would help a little too but then it's like a squat, not a deadlift. I've probably watched hundreds of form videos/threads over the years and I'm convinced it's something anatomical not fixable by normal methods

However I started lifting again and took an interest at trying to correct it, I found that if I do a slightly wide stance and cross my arms inside my thighs, being the crucial part, almost like a sumo I was able to set up with high hips/lumbar straight

was wondering if there's any problem/drawbacks with that per se? Figured I go for a full reset and try to build that up with a hook grip. because of that issue I've never pulled over 4 plates + consistency
