Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	More about proprortions(relative limb length) than being tall or short.

I read some supposed russian tables suggesting BW compared to heights. They looked solid enough for PL. I think in PL there tends to be more squatter builds and higher BWs. Probably more so in none tested feds.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7731 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	I'm spot on, but I imagine the distribution of the weight may not be quite what they had in mind.
