The SIZE of a Strongman...
I found this photo from last year's Arnold. Me and Zydrunas Savickas.

Zydrunas is my favorite strongman. He is not only HUGE and blessed with tremendous strength, he is also very kind and genuine. Good ol country boy.

I always wondered if height was a big advantage/disadvantage. Zydrunas is 6'3".....others are tall too.

I've got the long gorilla arms at just 6' so grabbing objects won't be a problem, it's always got me wondering if height would hinder your career if your 6' or shorter...not many short pros, only Mariusz, that I know of...

Yea, I guess I accept shortness for amateur, but when I think pro I automatically think tall is better...
My training partner is only 5'8" but he's one of those skinny but strong as hell types.
