Side note, why don't yall europeans list your height in metric like your weights?

We do. Im 1,87m

Then you're not 5'8,5"...

I know. I posted that his height was 5'8,5". Apparently alot of you misunderstood that.

i was always under the impression that flander was a 5'3 manlet, wtF!!!!!!

Yeah I know. Most people feel that way about me. Mostly because Im so fat that I look almost square.

If a midget participates in a powerlifting meet and only has to raise the bar 1/2 of an inch from the ground in a deadlift, does that count?

Sth just came across my mind..

While it's true that shorter ppl go thru smaller rom for their movements, if the angles their limbs go thru is abt the same, is it really that big of a difference? If u do take into account leverages, the taller dude also can put on more muscle in the same area, wo relatively, it's not that much off, innit?

Everyone who dedicates themselves to the barball over a considerable amount of time should be respected, regardless of size or the load that happens to be on the bar.

I disagree. Time itself is not a reason for respect. If they train wrongly and with bad form they do not get any respect from me. And the longer they have trained with bad form the less respect they should get.

Your other point is true to me. If a person trains hard and with good form he would get my respect regardless of size and weight on bar.

If on the other hand we have a crybaby who does train with good form but does not train hard and cry about the lack of results he is gaining, he looses my respect instantly.

with flander's caveat (i.e. 20 years of doing it wrong and getting nowhere doesn't count), i agree with this. i'd actually expand it to say that long-term dedication to doing anything well deserves respect.*

*inb4 what about serial killers?

x2, if they spin their wheels for a long time and never truly progress, then they might as well not even have lifted in the first place.. this is, if we're talking about people in the performance/strength game, not joe avg looking to get "toned".
