Bro, and by bro I mean never my bro, you are ignoring optimal leverages (monkey arms!) and the fact that taller people have larger muscle fibres means they can move a shit load more weight. Benedikt Magnusson is 6'0" and so is Andy Bolton. You won't see a manlet pulling 1k.


Yeah, in the very extremes, big-as-fuarrk people are usually better, but what about at our level?

I saw the results of a pl competition close to where I live two weeks ago, and even though most of the guys there were benching in the 500-600, all of them looked like the possible main character for Willow 2 ROFL

Most tall people have a large torso than they do lower-body.

Long arms = beneficial for DLs

Trade-off being your bench is going to suffer against dem manlets

No worries man. You saw what I look like (in the video). Do I even lift? My quads are only 24.? inches, and that's at my current BF (which is probably semi-high).
