What's your height and wingspan? I have short arms. My wingspan is 6'4" (76 inches).
Wingspan (aka armspan) is the distance from fingertip to fingertip of the outstretched arms. A great wingspan is a mark of dominance, masculinity, and greatly contributes to athleticism and overall weight and size.
This is Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. It depicts a height equal to armspan as the ideal for a male of about 5'5".
However, for us taller men, having a long armspan is natural, due to our broader shoulders and larger hands. In fact, the average armspan is 6'0", while the average height is 5'10". NBA players tend to have armspans about 6-10 inches greater than their heights, as do many linemen and other big athletes. It is a mark of dominance.
So, what's your height and wingspan? (Wingspan can easily be measured vertically on a wall, on the floor with one hand touching a wall, etc.)

fuk this made me sad... 6'1 with a 6 foot wingspan. maybe its because i dont really have big hands. hope my arms grow a little, could help me with dunking.
btw op, whats ur standing reach? i got a pretty decent reach of 7'10, even though my wingspan is small. its weird because my friend has a 6'4 wingspan at 6'2 and has the same standing reach as me

lol brb benching and overhead pressing for what feels like an eternity. all good, though. just sweeter when we get those results.
looks about right. you brahs are always quite tall but not that long proportions.
not the least bit scientific but whatever lol. I have travelled through a lot of, and lived in africa for a little while. proportions are definitely different compared to here in NZ. People here look like t-rex's in comparison lol

Virtually every piece of data from the NBA and NFL draft, comparing white and black players, agrees with this. To give an extreme example, white Shawn Bradley is 7'6" with a 7'6" wingspan. Black Manute Bol is 7'7" with an 8'6" armspan.
Asians also tend to have shorter appendages.
Here are some names. To give you perspective, wingspan:height differentials like these are virtually nonexistent in white athletes.
MMA Fighters:
Jon Jones - 6'4", 7'1" wingspan
Mo Lawal - 5'11", 6'6" wingspan
Alistair Overeem - 6'4", 6'10" wingspan
NBA Draft:
Kawhi Leonard - 6'6", 7'4" wingspan
Will Blalock - 5'11", 6'6" wingspan
Lester Hudson - 6'0", 6'9" wingspan
Nate Robinson - 5'8", 6'1" wingspan
Dwayne Wade - 6'4", 6'11" wingspan
Josh Akognon - 5'10", 6'7" wingspan
Rajon Rondo - 6'1", 6'9" wingspan
Jason Maxiell - 6'5", 7'3.25" wingspan
Beejay Anya - 6'8" with a 7'9" wingspan
NFL Draft:
Jarriel King - 6'4", 7'2.5" span
Jevon Kearse - 6'4", 7'2" wingspan
Tyron Smith - 6'5", 7'1" wingspan
D'Brickashaw Ferguson - 6'6", 7'3" wingspan
There's also a guy who's 6'3" with a 7'2" wingspan. I forgot his name.
Here is a completely random black model; notice that the elbows extend below the bellybutton, the broad shoulders, and the long forearms. This 6'0" model probably has a wingspan of about 6'8".
Here is a random white model. Notice the elbows well above the bellybutton, the short forearms... 6'0" height, probably a 6'0" wingspan.
Also, read this: http://www.fpnotebook.com/endo/exam/ArmSpn.htm
And worth mentioning: NFL arm length measurements. It is insane how much longer the arms of black players are than those of white players of the same height. The difference is usually 2"+ per arm.Last edited by Malnourishment; 04-17-2012 at 02:06 AM.

Been seeing your posts around lately and I gotta say it's quality ****. Keep it up. Nice info.
One thing though, consider the torso length differences between those two pictures. Whites seem to tend to have longer torsos in my experience. I have a very long torso. That white model seems to have relatively short upper arms as well, but I certainly do see what you're saying.
