if they were the same build though the taller guy would be heavier so his power to weight ratio would be lower.
For example two guys can lift say 200lbs, same build, but the taller guy weighs say 15 stone and the short guy weighs say 12 stone.
The taller guy is lifting less than his total body weight although he as to lift it further.
But the shorter guys is lifting a couple of stone more than he weighs.
In a weightlifting comp the shorter guy wins because hes lighter.
At the end of the day its swings and roundabouts.
The only way the taller man would be stronger is if was the same weight or lighter than the short guy. |
