Re: my mates 200kg bench
shorter arms = less distance to move the weight to full extension.

What a load of crap.

The amount of lean tissue it takes to make a tall guy look big is massively more than for a shorter guy.

And if we are talking bench strength then shorter arms = much shorter ROM, and therefore and easier lift.

Re: my mates 200kg bench
There is a midget at work that went to the gym with us and this dude had a fantastic bench. The whole time it looked like half reps but dude hadnt lifted in years and was doing reps with 315.
I was amazed, but his arms are super short, getting change out of his pocket he has to lean over....lol
Dont get me wrong I am not picking on him he is a really cool guy, just giving an illistration of ROM.

Sorry to ruin a (semi - thanks Welsh lads) serious thread, but I've now got a picture stuck in my head of Tinytom struggling to reach his pockets.

Heard that Nytol! It takes ages to fill the long length of the muscle on the limbs before the width of the mucle belly starts to increase...You short dudes look huge at 11 stone. Think I saw an interview with Lou Ferringo which said it took him 22 years to put all his Olympian mass on!?

P.S. My mate can bench 220K when he's not training - ex brit strongman!...very strong dude!

Fair enough, but just because your short, doesn't mean your arms don't fit your body lol. :P
