Consider two bodybuilders that are identical, only one is six inches taller and all their levers are longer. They may have the same muscle mass, but the one with the shorter levers will be stronger because the weight they are moving through a range of motion is closer to their body and leverage is more efficient. If the person with the longer levers happened to have thicker bones, more muscle mass and more connective tissue, they will be stronger despite their mechanical disadvantage because they are a bigger person and will be proportionally stronger:

this is the thread you created once (the max bench)
most people here said they could bench 250 and more...
http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...ighlight=bench (What is your 1 rep max bench?)


here's the thread you started (the three factors that determine strength)
one of them is the leverage ....remember that i am a 5'7 (170 cm) endomorph and I have short arms ...


Though i don't think there is a big problem for a 165 lbs person to bench 200 lbs after a year or less of lifting..
