Love the practical implications:
Powerlifters looking to enhance performance may find that increasing overall muscular size at fat-free mass is an effective strategy, particularly if they are also able to maintain or reduce body fat percentage.
Powerlifters looking to focus their hypertrophy efforts more specifically may find that increasing the size of the back musculature has the greatest carryover to the three lifts while increasing the size of the abdominals has the least carryover.
Powerlifters may find that strategies to increase fascicle length, such as high-velocity-low-load training, plyometrics or eccentric-only training, may enhance performance even without increasing muscular size.
Individuals looking to succeed in powerlifting might elect to choose their parents carefully to ensure that they are shorter than 170cm so that they can maximize their ratio of fat-free mass to body height.
And finally I can stop blaming my parents for me being a hair under 170cm.
