ok can anyone tell me what different weight categories there are, what weight category would i be in if i weighed around 80kg, pretty short and aged 17, and how much would people in this weight category generally be lifting. If i decided i wanted to try it would it be worth bulking to over 90kg and doing specialist training?ok can anyone tell me what different weight categories there are, what weight category would i be in if i weighed around 80kg, pretty short and aged 17, and how much would people in this weight category generally be lifting.

Depends on the competition whether or not they have weight classes. Ideally though if you're going to do strongman you want to be at least a minimum of 100 kg.
