Title: Gravity and weights
Post by: Bast000 on February 12, 2007, 02:35:54 PM: North U.S. has a gravitational pull of + 4.8-5.3lbs (depending on the season) compared to the far South of U.S. I read this. So that means that means you'll be able to lift a bit more in the south if you're from the north and vice versa.

yea but that doesn't give us any metric. what is the difference in gravity cofactor? if we know that, then we can calculate it based say 225lb bench press.

If you have some expertise in the matter, and it sounds like you do, would you mind helping us figure out the gravity cofactor? This could have some interesting implications for powerlifting "world" records.

Post by: The True Adonis on March 01, 2007, 03:45:26 PM: gravity on earth = 9.80665 m / s2

The person who lifts a given weight, closest to that speed, is the strongest.

One cannot exceed this speed as the weight would then float.
