Member 4923, 1795 posts	These days, you need to be easily 6'5 imo. That'd how tall Z is, and he's the shortest guy to have won it in the last 8 years.

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts	When does height become a negative...could a 7ft 5 monster come along and win it?

I'm daft. Member 6148, 93 posts	Vytautas Lalas isn't even 6 feet and won Arnold's Strongman Classic in 2013. That's pro.

Tom's CNS is better than steroids Member 2886, 2973 posts SQ 190, BP 122.5, DL 210 522.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	I mean Lalas was 2nd ahead of Thor and Shaw in 2012 at 5ft 10.

what is everyone's fran time? Member 3986, 10443 posts SQ 340, BP 200, DL 400 940.0 kgs @ 129kgs Eq	I think 5"9 is the shortest you could probably be to win.
