I have long bones and the muscle attachment does not give me much leverage for strength. My strength does go up but very slowly.
Do I need to train differently?

Tall people who are thin yeah I usually never see go heavy
Should I go reps and slowly increase weight?
Yes, just work on getting progressively stronger all the time. Keep the weight increasing , like 5 pounds a week or so. Keep trying to get more reps and when you hit a goal for reps, add more weight. Im not sure that you need to train any different than anyone elseQuote:

This is very true. Leverage plays a huge role in strength. Tall people usually have pretty decent pull strength too. Biceps etc.Quote:
