Say someone was doing a flat bench press. They can bench 200 pounds for one rep. How much of a difference would there be if there ROM of shortened by, say, 4 inches? Is there a significant difference? Is there an equation?

Yes, but height can affect it. To what degree is what I want to know, just an inquiry. I know there is nothing I can do about it.

Height doesn't affect strength, it affects ROM. You're mixing up terms. Or you're asking the wrong question for the answer you're after. Originally Posted by ihateschoolmt

All I know is that the guys with the shorter stumpier arms with a low ROM tend to bench more pound for pound than the guy with the 7ft wing span. A buddy that I lift with is an absolute MONSTER (6'5 295...12%bodyfat) but there are alot of guys who can benchpress more than him. Let the physics guys figure out the rest.

What is the definition of strength?
Technically your height wouldn't be the factor in terms of your ROM, it would be the length of your arms, legs (hip to knee, knee to foot), etcetera. One might have short arms and long legs, for example, if they are tall."in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."

That's true, but generally speaking I will have longer arms than a 5'3 person. Thus they have a shorter ROM for exercises involving arms. That is what I was refering to. I worded my question horribly, i'll go change it. Originally Posted by Duncans Donuts

There probably is an equation. There's an equation for just about anything you can think of. It would be kind of interesting to be one of those people who comes up with so many equations; sometimes they seem so random and it would be kinda cool to see what the actual math behind them is. At least to me, but hey, I'm a dork.
