If only there were a "fair" way to factor in height differences. I am 5' 6.5" without shoes. I like to see taller men treated right. The taller you get, the more distance involved.

But nothing is evaluated other than load and bodyweight.

For snatches, that 6' 7" Bulgarian Cholakov 342 pounds 457 snatch was something. A long way to pull a big load.

Wonder what Burger thought when Pocket Hercules snatched his one time jerk record that stood for what, eight years? I think I.B. was maybe 4 inches taller than P.H. Less muscle per inch of stature.
