That sounds fun. I don't think there's anyone at my level though, pretty much everyone is much stronger.

Wasn't there a 1.5x or 2x bodyweight DL contest sometime back?

but then you really need to take in height consideration for lifts.

purely comparing weight isn't fair.

5'0" dude weighing 200 vs 6'0" weighing 200. if they bench the same, going to be much more impressive from the guy who is 6'0"

Agreed, and the amount of offset would vary between lifts. For example I think being tall with long arms makes it harder proportionally to bench than to DL.

That's why competing directly against ppl you know are close to you would make more sense.

no thanks

I tried to get a challenge thing going a while ago. Problem with challenges is weight-lifting takes months to see gains and go up in weight and thats too long for a challenge.

youve alrdy got enough posts, nerd

yeah that shit was genius rofl

don't forget though that the taller guy could be inherently stronger because of proportionally increasing leverage via insertions. So in the end, a taller guy isn't that "disadvantaged" in general. It comes down to the body proportions and weight distribution of the individual. There are tall people with short arms and short people with long arms etc.

Tyty lol
