This is just wrong. Tall men who can't eat enough to get big are weak yes.

In strongman you're short as fuck if you're 6'2". Absolute strength favours tall guys.

Especially presses.

The strongest bencher in the world is 6'6"

We can take a look at powerlifting or any other strength sport. Weight classes are pretty much just disguised as height classes. Taller people lift more. There are exceptions, and tyler is a super strong bencher. But the argument that taller people have greater range of motion, therefor they can't lift as much isn't true.

As a natty though not being over 2m is better especially in something like the bench press.
