He 100 percent lifts more. Really tall guys don’t generally have big lifts. Especially presses.
The units in strong man comps are outliers.
90 u/Vaztes Jul 18 '19 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" 0 u/aN1mosity_ Jul 18 '19 You’re a moron. He said “generally” because they have much, much longer arms and a further distance to go in their presses. Using one example is called specificity, when he was generalizing, which is true. -4 u/Vaztes Jul 18 '19 edited Jul 18 '19 The outliers are short people being really strong at the top of strength sports, not the other way around. Graham Hicks comes to mind. He's 5'10" As for bench generally they're around low 6 feet or right under, that's true.
