Yeah, definitely being very tall can be a factor but it is worth it in the long run to lower the weights and work on the conventionals too. Easier isn't necessarily better in this case. There is bound to be a weight that you can do with proper form yet still be accomplishing a whole lot. If you used conventionals before and you weren't able to progress without breaking down it could be a case where conventionals are not for your but it also could be a case where you should have started much more conservatively and built a foundation on practice with ligther weights while you slowly progressed (meaning as quickly as possible without comprimising form...which to most people is slow, lol). When it comes to progressive overload the quickest way to lift a heavier barbell is not ALWAYS the best way so it's just something to think about.

But like Widdoes said I'm glad you're doing well with them. Sometimes I forget to say things like that!

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
