I'm not saying it's just you bitching out either. That's why I said it can be a matter of proprioception, meaning the awareness of controlling your back. This is why I mentioned the rack pulls in my next post. I like them better than RDL's for this purpose because it allows you to set your back "from the bottom" in a slightly easier pulling position.
Your arms do not appear that short to me. The bar looks to be hanging well below your crotch in the lockout position. There are lots of people who finish there pull almost in their lap.
Out of curiosity, what coach did you see?
