if you had the opportunity to ask a top level powerlifter any question(s), what would it be?

I posted this elsewhere here on EF. Its a pretty decent interview with Mike Miller. His top competition squat - 1220, top competition BP is 805 and top competition DL is 705. He's available by email below for questions.... Carl

Mike Miller Changes Careers

Guest: Mike Miller Elite Powerlifter

Miller is not only a great athlete but also very down-to-earth individual.

His world record breaking squat of 1220 pounds in 2006 created a buzz in Powerlifting that still continues today (you can see a video of the lift at http://www.superhumanradio.com/core/shows/show06092007.htm#miller ).

Now Miller has set his sights on the world of Professional Wrestling. If he does to wrestling what he did in Powerlifting, we're sure to see lots of him throwing down with some of the best in the WWE.

We learned that he attributes his strength, drive and work ethic to growing up on a dairy farm. He's also a huge fan of raw milk (I knew I liked this guy).

His career change has him training like a bodybuilder, which has earned him a new found respect for bodybuilders. He concedes that building muscle and not adding body fat is a real science.

He continues to make contributions to the sport of Powerlifting with the anticipated release of his ESP Training System DVD which summarizes his training philosophy and protocols that allowed him to reach elite status. You can get more info on the ESP System by emailing Mike Miller at [email protected]

He will make his debut as a WWE wrestler soon and is sure to win over the fans with his superhuman strength.

We wish him and his family all the success in the world.

I did some research and found out that from 1977 to 2011, there have been 18 different winners of the World's Strongest Man competition. Of those 18, 6 were 6'3", 6 were shorter than 6'3", and 6 were taller than 6'3". The shortest guy was 6' even and the tallest was 7' even. Obviously, 6'3" seems to be a good height for competing in strong man competitions. In your opinion why do you think that is? My other more specific questions are does being taller mean a larger frame, which translates into larger overall muscle potential? I know that Franco Columbu competed as an elite body builder and strong man in the late '70's and early 80's. He was 5'5" and 185, with personal bests of bench pressing 525 pounds, squatting 655 pounds, and dead lifting 750 pounds. Do you think a person's height is the major limiting factor to their max strenght/size potential, or is it just limited by their overall skeletal frame structure? I know you know your stuff, so it's nice to be able to ask.

I personally dont believe strength is limited by height. Alot of the top powerlifters past and present have been under 6"3. Strongman comps are different,in alot of the events taller guys have a huge advantage, like the stones for instance. The shorter guys are just as strong but the platform is too high, so they struggle getting it on there. So I dont believe height is a limiting factor for strength, but I do believe that taller guys have an advantage in strongman because of the way the events are designed.
