I'd be long in the leg.

That'd explain it. Pretty difficult to get into a good start position with long legs at that height.

Ship the 100kg x8 squat @ 79kg, feel shorter today

Should be good for 1 rep of 1.5BW

Body scans of various real athletes.

There's something stirring about an athlete in motion -- the ferocity of a wrestler shooting on his opponent, the grace of a guard dribbling in traffic, the bravado of a gymnast dismounting the beam. But an athlete in stillness can be just as moving. We took a 3-D scan machine to Penn State, one of the nation's largest (325-plus scholarship athletes) and smartest (82% graduation rate) athletics programs, to capture the forms of one Lion from each of the school's 29 varsity sports. What's the cut of a women's fencing champ? How does a women's All-Big Ten soccer star compare to a men's all-conference lacrosse attacker? And what does a 256-pound tackling machine look like stripped of his armor? All good questions, with awesome answers offered by the 29 athletes representing PSU's singular Student Body.

They all look fairly similar. Why didn't they just take a flippin' picture? What's with the stupid looking scans? And look at their hands!!!

I thought the lineman in the football was carrying a few kg round the midriff.

Which helps with the not being moved or moving folk who don't move easily.

Depending on whether he was offensive or defensive.

Sorry moderating people, but I have to post this. Maths isn't my strong point.
In a recently closed thread some bloke wanted to buy a squat rack instead of a power cage. Is it only me or is the powercage smaller?

I cant buy a power cage as it wont fit

Anyone here has a rack like this one - http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/gym/1571410 is it any good ???

L108 x W158 x H190cm Rack

L106 X W123 X H209.6 cm heavy power cage

The Rack is shorter which might be it though the last time I saw a room smaller than 2 metres high was when I broke into that dwarf's house. Snow White went mental.

Even the diagonal of the cage is less than the min ceiling height. So you should be able to assemble lying down and roll into place

That's the problem, its a picture of a scan.
Trying to broadcast this info over the net is pointless, as the interesting part is the 3D element, rotating the bodies in different planes etc. Which we can't do with out the software, (will they open in CAD?

)

He was, and then I think I saw him post as Mickk again, I think he reregistered after the hacking and might have found his old login details again. You could always pm both names, and/or email irish lifting.

Well done. Very slowly working towards doing one, it still feels a long way away.

1L low fat milk + 2 sachets of Cadburys Highlights = awesome make-shift chocolate milk.
