![]() ![]() I don't care what you think of me because once again this post has nothing to do with me. Think outside of the box and do some critical thinking. AGAIN, this has nothing to do with what division a taller person should be in. To the rest of everyone down voting me and telling me to eat more and stop making excuses for me unable to lift more weight, you are all mindless drones. I've seen about 2 people in this thread get it. I'm question why physics isn't taken into account in strength calculations. Maybe it's too complicated and people just want to see massive weight moved regardless of anything else and call it a day but in my mind it seems like there could be a better way.Įdit I seriously can't believe I have to edit this again but this post has nothing to do with me and my abilities. To get a true test in competition body weight, height and distance moved of the weight should be calculated (or something like that). I understand the weight class divisions in powerlifting but I feel like it is just too simple of a standard. So why is that not being taken into account. Work is defined by not only the weight being moved but also the distance. I may be wording this wrong but a couple users have kinda understood what I'm trying to get across. That is not the point I'm trying to make. Am I out on left field here? Is there already a calculator that takes this into effect? If not why? Sorry if I sound stupid, like I said before I'm brand new to this world and am just trying to wrap my brain around this.Įdit Some people have mentioned that the taller person should put on more weight. I may have not done the best job explaining this but I'm trying to say that a taller person has more weight in just skin, blood and bones so you can't really compare strength between two people at vastly different heights using body weight alone. After a while I began to realize that if a 6'4'' guy weighing in at 185 (relatively thin) squats 200 lbs compares to a guy weighing in at 185 but is only 5'7'', the shorter guy will squat a lot more (all things being equal). I found this link in this sub a while ago and found it very interesting. ![]() I am a complete beginner and can't figure out for the life of me why strength standards are measured by how much you weigh compared to how much you lift. ![]()
