@@benextinction__144 they can beat BUT they are not so long in the game.. big heavy guys are better suited for the sport and smaller ones pack too much power for a ''small'' frame so they get injured quicker, for example Shaw is jn the game half of his life and won 4 times while Eddie could not do that without getting injured much more

I'm pretty sure stumpy cheated in the Africa stone carry. Because his arms were so short he held a loop between his hands to stop them from pulling apart. I didn't think anything of it until the end of the event when he was very carefully sliding it into his pocket trying not to get noticed. To this day a don't know if it was something he got away with or he was trying to hide it from the cameras because he was a little embarrassed.

[@kmf1392]

@@micahvelez5032 My brother and I train strongman, with guys ranging from his height to 6'6. He's 5'5 and I'm 5'7, so there are definitely shorter guys out there. You have your advantages and disadvantages. Deadlift/squat/pressing events are my strong suit, but loading/stones are harder just because you have to lift it up higher comparatively. Having bigger hands would help too, but when figure 8 straps are allowed, it's not too much of a disadvantage. Regardless of your height, if you want to try training/competing in the sport, just go for it. I've never met a better group of guys who look like they could snap you in two, but would rather help lift you up.

I knew Stumpy would be shortest. He's always been a huge inspiration for me. I just felt bad for him....he was SO short that he literally didn't fit some of the apparatuses. It's not realistic to do a super yoke with the bar on the back of your head and walking on your tip toes. That's not an equivalent strength comparison. In static events, he was beast. Wish it could have been more fair and we could have seen more of him.

Of all of the staple events in WSM and strongman comps it seems that the stones would be the worst ones if you are short, the rest of the events either have adjustments for height, or just dont matter at all in teh cases of teh deadlift, squat, OHP etc, so i guess if you are strong enough to win enough events before the stones, it wouldnt matter if you are 6'9 or 5'1.
