7'2" 400 ppunds and be able to bench press 520?

Not impossible. But only way it would happen is:
Nevermind, its impossible.
400 pounds? WTF.... I guess my grandfather was 7,2 320lbs but he had gigantism.Fightingfan

What's with you and your sister? Are you guys Superheros or something?-Big_Red-
Haha:D Either that or they're gorrillas.

Holy Jebua.... Maybe if you're the Hulk. :o

lol why did you have to put your weight in there mr.olympia?
Stupid typo! That was supposed to be, "holy Jebus"

The hulk is bigger, and stronger than that :|...Don't ruin my comment or you will make me angry :shock:
Wookie smash!!!!!!
It's a good way to know about proportional strength.lol why did you have to put your weight in there mr.olympia?

For example, the Onthophagus taurus, a species of horned dung beetle, can pull 1,141 times its own body weight, the equivalent of a 150-pound person pulling six double-decker buses full of people. According to LiveScience, anyway.
They might not beat a powerlifter in a weight lifting competition. However, it's about proportion. So, if they were the same size, there would be no comparison.

I'm not sure it's that simple when comparing creatures that are many orders of magnitude difference in size. It think it has something to do with an object's mass being cubed as it increases in size, while its load-bearing area is only squared.
EDIT: In other words, if you scaled up an insect to human size, it's strength would decrease massively.

I was thinking that too...Not the math you wrote, but how a dung beetle's strength wouldn't be the same proportionally if it was "our size." Let's say they do, though.[QUOTE="I"]

As evidenced by my comment on tranny porn the other week, I'm not beyond admitting embarrassing things about myself on this forum...like the fact that much of Palantas' physics knowledge comes from reading websites about science fiction. I was right about what I said, though, so go me.

Oh I think I do:oops:.just a tip:try finding girls in real live instead of on the internet ;)

Maybe, in regards to physics. However, that article left out one key thing: Nature. If a creature were to grow to any of these sizes, it would do so in a way that it can survive.Unless it's a virus or something...it will do so in a union of sorts with the environment. If it just got huge all of a sudden, sure, it would probably would collapse on itself, based on the math presented...However, if they gradually gained size, it's possible they would not wield the same strengths and weaknesses. They wouldn't have have the same characteristics, anyway.
It's not a bad argument, but it's picking at one thing while missing a key piece of information.
Anyway, I agree that it's more important for something to have functional strength over a lot of useless (or damaging)mass.
Now we're onto biology, something I know less about than physics. If we want to talk about bugs evolving a certain way, aren't there limitations on how big bugs could ever get? It has to do with their respiration or something. Hence, there are no big bugs.
Yeah, I'm reaching here.
If a bug got so massive that it breathed all of the earth's air in one inhaltion...it would probably be too big for earth to support it...and it would be sticking out into outer space...I'm sure that respiration is a factor, but not the only one. Food for growth, its opponents (wouldn't be very helpful to be big, hulking, and slow if everything around you is built with agility and stamina...), etc.Now we're onto biology, something I know less about than physics.
