Does height limit how strong you can naturally get? I'm 5'6 and I feel like taller guys are just naturally stronger than me.

Technically yes taller guys are going to be stronger but only if their proportions are correct, if they are lanky they aren't strong.
Despite what this board claims, those who are 6ft + and have the correct proportions are very low, most people are either - 5ft 10 and correctly proportioned or they are 6ft + and are lanky skinny fats.
That's why women swoon over men who are 6ft + and are packing because they are so rare.
You can be strong as fuck on a lanky frame (granted it'll hurt your bench and squat numbers - killer pulls though). It just requires you to carry enough bodyweight to counteract that, which sucks donkey balls.
No doubt you can become strong on a lanky frame but as strong or stronger than someone who has the correct proportions? No way user, you physically aren't as capable as someone like that.
You would be amazed how many high-level strength athletes have the stereotypical long limb/short torso build. It's just not so obvious when you weigh that damned much.
Tom Martin's a pretty good example. Lanky fucker by nature, strong as a god damned ox.
Are these websites that take a few measurements to find your natty limit reasonably accurate?
As a 140 pound guy, 190 pounds lean seems completely insane. I don't care if I'm a wristlet or anklelet, I wonder what that limit even looks like?
Probably like Eric Helms off contest, not posed.
Btw he has written an article on what you can achieve natty, for reference, even though most pics are 6' or below: alanaragonblog.com
White people are the strongest and tallest race on earth, which is why strength is correlated with height. See World's Strongest Man competitions and the disproportionate amount of Northern and Eastern Europeans in them.
Shorter people are usually darker and weaker, like beaners and asians.
Negroes are somewhere in the middle. Well, in truth pureblood africa niggers are lanky and short but agile, American niggers are 25-50% white, it becomes really obvious when you compare a coal black African to an American "African," so they have a tendency to grow large and strong as well.
Many times I wonder if there are no blacks on strong contest simply because it's not part of their sports culture. Every other sport that depends heavily on sheer power is ruled by blacks, such as in sprinting, american football, basketball etc
>sheer power
>what is olympic lifting
Yes. There is very few competitive strongmen under 6'.
Eddie Hall looks short compared to most of them but even he is 6'3
Wait so long legs are not correct proportion? I never was skinny fat, I just have long graceful legs and arms
Sure it's, man. My point is that it isn't part of black sports culture. So maybe that's why you don't see many blacks in it. Maybe like why there's no strong american soccer team or any brazilian decent baseball team.
Listing basketball as a sport involving sheer power.
Not listing sports that actually fucking revolve around using strength and power LIKE MOTHERFUCKING SHOT PUT, HAMMER THROW, JAVELIN THROW, GRECO ROMAN WRESTLING AND PROBABLY 50 MORE. But no, you had to be a retard and post basketball.

It's a list of black sports that require sheer power, not of the most power dependent sports, smart ass...
these are good proportions for manmores (although these guys are a little overweight)
at humanity bodyweights sub 240 lbs shorter guys are going to have an advantage in most lifts except maybe the diddly but that depends on individual proportion. Lower armspan = much easier time on pressing movements.
Strongmen may be 6'-6'4" tall (with two 6'8" outliers) but to reach their strength potential at that height they are 300+ lbs
i though long torso is masculine and long legs are feminine?
I find long legs aesthetic as fuck, not even masculine or feminine just aesthetic. Wish I had some long ass fucking legs but again I'm 5'6.
maybe im just projecting but im 5’11 with a legs of a 5’7 so im kinda happy that my frame is decent because my father is 6’3 but he is incredibly lanky
What most people will not understand is that America has almost no pure blacks, nearly all of them are mulattoes.
You fucking said and I quote here "Every other sport that depends heavily on sheer power is ruled by blacks". To re-phrase it - among all of the sports in which deciding factor is sheer power, it is ruled by black people...and then you listed sports that do not belong to abovementioned group of sports.
Well, sorry man
Doesn't matter. Become a femboy and you can get fucked by all the tall guys you want.
FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF
I mean at 5'6" do you really have a choice?
And on roids. It's pathetic no one is natural these days
Are we talking about total numbers or relative to bodyweight? If the latter, then you might want to check out Naim Suleymanoglu.
