Seems to me that after many years of watching The Strongest Man…….shorter weight lifters definitely seem to have an advantage in general. If i am not mistaken, bit of a joke this year when the winner is a short guy and he’s 6 foot….although he claims he’s 5 foot ten?
Seems to me weight lifting is focused less on weights and more on height.
Geoff Capes was a great competitor…..see that guy throw the caber or log throw..a lot of it is lifting now…which is neither good or bad…..in fact as i recall..a dead lift is the most accurate assessment of one’s strength….apparently…one ought to be able to dead-lift at least one’s own body weight in weights.
Can’t say as I’m to familiar with power lifting which you mention i dedicate my time to cardio based training as well as weight lifting & core training….. for me it’s about how fit i am….. Geoff Capes was a legend in his own right but the truth of it is that him & up to 90% of gym goers are just there to build & bulk!!….. which is cool but stick anyone of them on a treadmill or a cross trainer & they don’t last 2 minuets
