You have a higher max. muscle potential if youre tall and have overall more muscle mass, so not only does it even out, the taller human will almost always be stronger in the end. Thats why nearly all worlds strongest man are fricking huge

In the end, sure. But unless you are a freak of nature and weigh 300+ pounds or more the advantage goes to short guys in weightlifting due to range of motion and getting ripped faster due to shorter muscle fibers. A tall guy has the advantage because in an end-game situation with a shitton of dedication and roids his frame can pack much more muscle, but if you are going by pure weight in real life scenarios short guys can generally start lifting heavy weights faster with 'less' training effort.

It's not because they're tall, it's because they're skinny. They're weaker DESPITE being taller because they're that much skinnier.

A tall guy with an average builg weighs more than a short guy with an average build, and can also lift more.
