 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | brownbear said: True! He did them all, but suppose he's never going to do them as fast as Thor, shaw, yourself in a final? Suppose he doesn't have to be able to. Can put pressig and side handle deadlift in to keep shorties happy  And squatting, horses for courses I think. I don't think being super tall is ideal nor under 6 ft but they both have their advantages and disadvantages | ||

That first stone is not exactly heavy, you can just pop it from your lap exactly as lalas did. That is what I do and is my lap really that much higher than his? I don't lift the stone onto the platform you have to fire it on | ||

I don't think being super tall is ideal nor under 6 ft but they both have their advantages and disadvantages I just think that the stones is a good visual event and if it wasn't so high then it could be better by having the guys of all heights at WSM being more competitive.. You have a point in that events suits other better than other if you know what I mean How high would you have the p,at forms Terry? And if you reduced them how heavy would you make the stones? | ||

9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | brownbear said: 6'4 180kg..... (Z) Probably perfect proportions I think, long enough arms but not too long tall enough for events like fingers etc but not too tall to affect squatting and pressing. Obviously he is a monster too which helps | ||

9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | I think so much of it comes down to the approach in training. How many guys train onto high platforms? Not many which is part of why people struggle, it's a shock if you're not used to them. I built a 6ft 2 platform just to get used to it | ||
