There's this midget at my gym that lifts MASSIVE weight overall. That fact that he has to move the weight so little is definitely an advantage. I thought it was almost a rule of thumb that shorter people have an advantage at the squat and DL since they have to lower themselves less than tall people, not to mention the leverage over taller people.

just me.

You live in texas by any chance?

LMK when you find this 5'3" 200 lb person.

It is like people aren't reading what I am saying...I think it is clear by now that EVERYONE can ****ing agree that short people have a shorter ROM. This is not what is at issue, we are talking about how it is easier for a taller person to weigh more and thus throw more weight around.

well **** i never saw that one. i typed in kevin nee mtv in google and couldnt find any pics of him but i found it was from 2005 and he was 19 years old. at the end of the show he is trying to go pro at a strongman comp but he takes second. in the credits he says he gets pro at his next comp. he was like 240-245 i think like i said before.

Some of that extra weight gets negated by the fact that more muscle weight is needed to get the longer limb to do the same thing.

****ty example, a short arm person might need 4lbs of tricep muscle to bench 185 while a longer limb person might need 4.4lbs to do the same job.

and the taller person has an easier time adding weight.

can you please just shut up saying this over and over and over again. Next thing im gonna read is you trying to rally against the government for tax breaks for short people.

WE ****ING KNOW TALL PEOPLE GAIN LBS FASTER. ITS COMMON SENSE.

but it doesnt mean what u think it does. lbs on the scale=/= lbs on the bench bar. its not a direct proportion. for some reason you think it is..

perfect example. arnold has said it many times that it would piss him the **** off that franco was stronger then him..

but how he weighs less

its easier for tall people to gain lbs. we know this no one is arguing this with you. what u dont understand that is bigger people need to gain more weight to gain more power then you.

more muscle= more body fluids, more water. its relative. more everything because they have more bones and bigger organs then you

ITS ALL RELATIVE

say it with me

ITS ALL RELATIVE

if a 7 foot giant puts on 10 lbs of muscle you could barely tell and his lifts would probably barely go up. if you add 10 lbs of muscle you will ****ing see it. you will be much stronger but it would have taken you much longer. 7 footer gaining 10 lbs is like you gaining 1-2. its all relative again.

why can you not understand this.

indeed. she was obviously more confident for good reason. she looked really good at the end. hips were a little fat still but she didnt even train that long. i wonder if she stuck with it.

That is their competition weights for all 3 bb'rs

I'm 5'6" 205, and I have a very easy time time tying my shoes. I'll readily admit I'm fat and once football is over I'm going to get down to about 180 or so before I even think about adding more weight, but I'm certainly not a blob of fat.

j-dub jr. · 06-12-2010, 03:40 AM

5'5" 210 of muscle is diff. than 210 of fat just sayin'.

Strong feeling you are taller than 5'6".
