Does the Sinclair Coefficient take into account the length of the motion between different body types?
If it doesn’t than it doesn’t really tell us who is the strongest per pound is. Some people have shorter levers than others and therefore the lifts are easier because the bar or weight has to travel a smaller distance. In the olympic lifts you only really need to compete against your previous bests so I couldn’t really care less about this because all I know is I want to beat the 165# snatch I currently have.

Of course you can mix it up and score both relative and absolute as well. But I agree with the inferno on this, and I am concerned that more an more of this kind of “mentality” will creep into hi
