[QUOTE="Gomer Pyle, post: 6722172, member: 72008"] i'm oldish (43) and tall and similar weak points to yourself. PT's have told me squats and deadlifts difficult for long limbed so be sensible and leave ego at home i find if i'm going to do these excercises i get on a lot better if i take a lot of time to warm up/ stretch first i.e. med ium intense row machine 500m and maybe 7 minutes on a seated in door bike pedalling i then do squat type stretches and also try and do 10 x squats on the flat side of an upturned buso ball thing- you can really feel what that does for coordination and engaging other support muscles/ ligament things on the sides of your knees i'll then do say 5 squats with bar, another at 40kg another 5 at 60 kg and then once warmed up go for the 5 lots of 5 reps at the large weight also doing them in your socks without shoes on, on a hard surface helps there are some good form guides on line - do some research maybe search '5x5 stronglift' good luck [/QUOTE]
