walker | Height and U90 Class | 24-05-2012 @ 13:37 | |
Does not need Advice, knows everything. Member 3505, 3510 posts SQ 295, BP 182.5, DL 290767.5 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Just wandering if people think that height matters in the U90 class and what the average height would be? How tall are the tallest people who are competitive at U90? Only asking as I am 6'2" and this time last year I was 87kg and not very lean, but I didn't train at all as I was recovering from injury. I'm carrying a fair bit of bodyfat now so was just interested to hear peoples thoughts. | ||

I took about £4 out of Sooty's bottom Member 685, 8719 posts SQ 225, BP 150, DL 290665.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I'm 5' 11 mate and I'm one of the taller u90k'ers. As with any weight class height has its pro's and con's. Longer limbs can make pressing harder and some of my competitors are virtually stood up for deadlifts from height but then again loading is easier and I can go on all the rides at the fairground... | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | I'm 6' and a lanky streak of piss at 90kg. The only other two buggers my height ish at Northerns (Ross and Pagan) needed to sweat their nads off to make the comp. This is probably because they actually had some muscle. | ||
