For you over 250 lbs...
- Thread starter Behemoth
- Start date
Garry Frank held (at least at one time) the WR Powerlifting Total...and he is 6'5". Mike Miller isn't short. Most top powerlifters are not short.
Just a thought...
I'm short for my sport but you won't hear me complain about the "but pound for pound I'm stronger" issue. As far as I'm concerned...if they are bigger or stronger then they just did whatever I wasn't willing to do to get there. Taller? No excuse. Juoko Ahola was 5'10" and 265....

I hate to harp on the taller/longer limbs point, but the way I think about it, the person with the smaller limbs (shorter ROM) has a mechanical advantage over the guy with longer limbs. Think about it like if you were doing lat raises with arms bent with one weight, and tried to do lat raises with the arm fully extended. You'll surely find that you can do much less with the arm fully extended.
I'm 5"11 with a 78" wingspan, I know when I'm hitting the bench, I have quite a way to go

Bench= 365x10
Squat= 605x2
Deadlift 605x2

there's this scottish strongman (no not our own scotsmanb fold the truth said:
), i forgot his name though. he was around 5'10" or 11" and weighed 418lbs! an extremely fat 418lbs but he was one pretty strong mofo. this guy was called big daddy by the others! so much for having to be tall to be called big!

Would that be Glenn Ross. He's Irish, though.
