I FUCKING HATE HAVING SHORT STUBBY ARMS

>>42483285
No you don't. I literally have not put an inch on my arms training. Atleast I deadlift 4pl8 at 140ibs.

Nah you want short arms but long legs

>>42484362
why would you want the least functional anthropometry of all

either go all short limbs and long torso for sickening squat and bench leverages or gymnastics, or long limbs short torso for sickening deadlift leverages and combat sports
>>42483285
enjoy your easy bench gains

>>42483285
wrong. if your trunk was more ectomorphic you'd look lanky af. right now if your arms were any longer, even a hand length longer, you'd look goofy af.

it's about what he can do with what he has. obviously there are default variables that come into play; more or less advantageous to his survival.

5'10" wingspan 6'2.5". Can't find winter clothes that properly fit.

>>42484695
holy fuck this. Ive only been working out for about 8 months, but I see people who started around the same time as me and are still lifting the same amount of weight as I do, and their arms look much better than mine. Hopefully it gets better as I progress, it just kind of sucks knowing you put in the same amount of work and the results arnt as good yet.

>>42484695
Mirin, how much do you bench?

>>42484914
I do 5x5 with 225lbs pretty easily. 275lbs was my record. The problem is that my long ass arms make benching 2x harder for me than for some stubby armed malnet.
>>42484875
Yea i know what you mean. My arms look good flexed and from the side, but from the front i look like a dyel and i got 16" arms. Nothing special, but still good for a lanket.

short arms long legs reporting in

i like calisthenics more than lifting

>>42484695
im a 5'8 manlet with probably around a 5'11 wingspan. my legs, core, and pecs are fine but my arms are crazy disproportionate compared to them

>>42484352
Long arms = better at fighting, deadlifts, throwing, etc. Small price to pay for longs if u ask me.

>>42484362
Long arms are for FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH

>>42485245

That pic is just my room haha. It has its own bathroom and even more space behind where the pic was taken. My sister has the same room as me.

I dont really feel like taking pics of the whole place, but pic related are the main living room and kitchen, and the downstairs bathrooms.
There's 2 garages, a huge basement, a big front yard + garden and our own drive way. Its a nice place, i hope my parents move out of here like they plan on doing and leave it to me.

you bench 225 5x5 with those arms? wtf

>>42485306
it's not called a "reach advantage" for nothing anon

doesn't mean you can't be successful with average length arms, but it is a definite advantage to be able to hit your opponent before he can hit you

i wish my neck was longer

The only too pound for pound fighter you mentioned is Tyson. Everyone else is trash.

The UFC totally stacks the deck in favor of strikers LOL.

>>42488962
if anything it stacks the deck in favor of wrestlers by disallowing knees and kicks to downed opponents, someone can spam double legs and get stuffed and not worry about getting knees to their head from a front headlock position after a sprawl

most of the current and former champions have background in wrestling (Miocic, Jones, Woodley, Garbrandt, DJ all wrestled before MMA)

>>42484695
those arms are SHIT
you have to find whatever works best for you in the tricep department.
Go to google and learn the 3 names of the triceps muscles.
Find out wich exercises are the best for wich part (fuck im drunk)
Do them and find out wich one is yielding MO gains.

>>42484695
dude you look like me with more muscle [proportion wise]

>>42484695
6'5", 6'8" span. I know your feel breh

>>42488962

Nigga, Cro Cop was one of the best strikers in UFC history. His high-kicks made Jon Jones' 3rd round K.O of DC look like light sparring.

Keep in mind that he's well past his prime in that fight. I love JBJ but it would've been very different if they could've fought at the same age.

Short arms are great. Having long arms just look disproportionate.

It makes benching easier. It makes overhead press easier. It makes snatching easier and it makes jerking easier. Basically all the lifts that most people care about and/or are the most difficult to do will be easier for you if you have shorter arms.

But fuck that muh biceps!!!!!!!!

>>42491904
DC would have fucked cro cop up, cro cop's standup was nullified against pressure fighters with good grappling

Drunk gains on my way

>>42489062
I was going to say this. Thanks my man.

>Be 6'6"
>Growth likely stunted due to being on literally dozens of allergy medications from a young age
Most of height is from torso, my waist is at the same height as my 5'9" mother
>Arms are so long that doctor's have tested me for marfan syndrome despite having no other symptoms

At least I can be fat as fuck and not show it due to my giant torso. Also, my wide shoulder's make me extra intimidating to normies.

Short arms look bigger and are fun until you deadlift.
