completely serious, here's even more evidence of the strength shortening cycle effectiveness, I'm taller than both these guys, so I'm obviously in desperate need of this magic cycle to get shorter to be more competitive.

That is assuming that these guys are using strength shortening cycles.. as opposed to stretch shortening cycles.. I remember one of SP's comments made on powerlifters.com i think where he mentioned he towered over the russians at the worlds.. maybe your genes have evolved too much making you taller than necessary..? but then look at the strong-man typical physique.. these guys are what 200cm or thereabouts and man mountains..
The Stretch Shortening Cycle that dancelot is talking about is involving the NS and tendons to produce more force and power of specific muscles. It is also discussed by Vladimir Zatsiorsky in Science and Practice of Strength Training and then was used as the basis at westside for their dynamic method..
Maybe you don't need to get shorter.. just bigger..? you're in the 120's now.. maybe move up to the supers.. but then you'll have baxter to compete against..
