    Default Strong deadlifters with long femurs?

    Hello,

    I'm a guy with average arm and torso length, but really long femurs. My back angle is almost horizontal when I deadlift and that's just the way it is. I watch a lot of strong deadlifts on youtube, and it's obvious that the strongest guys have super long arms and a very vertical back angle.

    I wonder if there are any crazy strong deadlifters with freakish long femurs, who pulls conventional. And I mean with a very horizontal back angle. Or do they all pull sumo to improve the leverages?

    The only guy I know who has freakish long femurs is Layne Norton, but he pulls sumo because of this.
