what does everyone think about the length of the limbs in relation to the amount of weight one can lift.let me explain,say for example you have two people of the same weight and roughly the same age the one is taller than the other and his arms and legs are longer.
now these two people can lift the same amount of weight as each other but the taller guy has to move the same weight over a longer distance,
would it be right to say the taller guy is stronger?
i personaly think it would be right to say that, but i know some people disagree.
