I have short legs, so the temptation is to lower the seat

Rookie mistake

The goal is to train the rear deltoid. So the handles are best at shoulder height. This counterintuitively means the seat at max with a pad on top!

Don't sacrifice your goals to fit the tools. Make the tools fit your goals.

Romanian Deadlifts

I find these really challenging as I have limited mobility in my hips

I kept going, building my strength with "ugly" reps

Finally after 3 years they look good

100kg for 7 reps

You can make a tonne of progress with ugly. Don't let it stop you.

Applies to software as well ;)
