midget deadlifters
« on: October 31, 2006, 03:32:08 PM »
have any deadlifting records been set by midgets or at least very short people (im not sure where the cut off is)??? i was thinking about it and it seems since the bar would be much higher on their body that when they do a deadlift it would be more like a rack pull. 

yes this is a serious question...im quite fascinated by midgets ;D

Ok in all seriousness I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they would probably have trouble holding the bar. Most LP"s that I have seen have small stubby hands and fingers which would make it difficult to hold the bar with any serious amount of weight on it. Good question though :)  Midget fascinations? Hmmm!!!

Wolfe is right, the grip is what holds them back.

Most midgets have trouble holding onto more than 225 lbs.

I know a midget who's squatted 700 lbs, but has not deadlifted more than 275 lbs or so.

There are some midgets that have long fingers, but they are very rare. I've yet to see one of those compete in powerlifting.

I can't believe this is being discussed. LOL

I also can't believe a midget has squatted 700 pounds! What's ass to grass, 4 inches down?

Here's a pic of a midget squatting over 600 lbs at just over 100 lbs in bodyweight.

It is possible to make adjustments to the barbell for short people, so that they are able to deadlift more weight.

Regulations could be changed for that matter.

I need to find that show on DVD. I am a big fan of midgets, that's partly why I am such a big fan of Lee Priest.
