Does Leg Length Affect ROM on Squats?
Would having long legs affect your ability to go down further in the hole compared to having shorter legs, at heavier weights? My thought process is that shorter legs would have a more tight lever compared to a long lanky leg.

So does short back + short legs create a physiological advantage compared to an individual with long legs or back? See 8:30 of this video for an example of my thoughts Zach's Powerlifting Competition: Can He Lift 3 Times His Weight? | Little People, Big World - YouTube of a little person squatting. Their ROM is so small compared to a taller individual

Short legs + short back = short guy = smaller guy = smaller muscle mass = not as strong. And the fact that no one has taught him how to squat costs him total.
