 Member 665, 30 posts SQ 160, BP 105, DL 200465.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | The 3.5 x BW DL thread got me thinking about whether there is an 'ideal' bodyweight to be at a given height. Obviously we know that shorter guys are going to weigh less, but say you are, for example, 5'8, is there a bodyweight at which you will perform best? And does this vary dependent on your sport (PL, OL, Strongman, Tiddly winks etc)? Also, is there a point beyond which you won't see further gains, no matter how much bodyweight you add (diminishing returns)? Discuss! | ||

 my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 02.06.2009 @ 20:52 PM by kingham22 i fall into the morbidly obese section at the mo. about 5 years used to two hours of cardio a day and weights got down to97kg which was me just inside the correct weight section but because of my body type i looked like i was near death and was asked frequently if i had hiv. and my deadlift was 140kg so the heavier the better for me. althou i was also better at prodding the missus at a lighter weight | ||

 enjoys the odd fag Member 563, 1029 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 230565.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | It seems to me from looking at the IPF records that once you get over 90kg squat and deadlift, apart from some exceptions, seem to stall a little in progress. Bench, however, seems to keep improving with increased body weight. Maybe I'm talking bo***cks, but from the records it seems like this. | ||
