Tall people need to train differently??

Tall people may have leverage disadvantages, but that never stopped them from gettin' huge!! Tall people will benefit from the same exercises as shorter folks.

Could you guys define "tall people"?
BTW, I am 6'2''..Do I fit the profile??

well, i'm not trying to be an ass, but work is force times distance. and since you rack the weight in the same place you started from, the distance moved from the point of origin is zero. so, actually, the work achieved in nearly every lift is zero. it sounds discouraging, from a physics point of view, but who cares. just lift and do what feels right to you and you will grow.

I'd consider anyone over 6 feet tall. Avg. american is, what, 5'9''? I'm like 6'7'' and everyone I know considers that tall.
