Just watched the deadlift video..
Note that she's alot shorter than I am (6'3").
Here is a photo of a tall guy (6'5), and a shorter guy..
According to Rippentoe (Starting Strength), both are in the correct starting position..

I am TRYING to ascertain how much I should be eating to be in deficit..
2220 is my base, according to the Harris-Benedict equation..
But am I a 1.55 or a 1.4, activity wise?
I should opt for 1.4 to be on the safe side, giving me 3100 as my daily goal, calorie wise..
Thing is, I've been going a couple weeks of 2500 cals on my off days, 2900 on my WO days, and I haven't noticed a drop (when's the best time to weigh yourself, btw?)..
Hopefully I'm just not measuring everything properly, and when I get a scale I'll be able to tell for sure..
Hope I don't have to get into metabolic repair, etc..
