What is your height and wingspan?

[gr8cox]

holy chit this isnt s tormfront

i find that chit offensive

im black and i have a short wingspan, plus you will find alot of whites with longer wingspans aswell

Quit being so easily butthurt by anything a white dude says.

Sometimes I blow my gasket too, but really, he didn't say he "hates" black people, he just noticed an OBVIOUS difference.

He didn't claim to be superior, or say he wants to enslave or control or dominate anybody.

His post looked more like a compliment than an offense.

Noticing race, and hating on race are two different things.

Lol at offended by reality. He's not even making any implications behind what he's saying, he's simply stating facts about physiology.

thanks for the blackup, my *****s.

yeah i went there. loool.

I wonder who has the most ridiculous height/wing span ratios over all, though. Specific person, I mean. I hope it's something crazy.

I remember watching this video of a very short black male deadlifting just under 5 times bodyweight(at around 150 i think)it was at least 4.5xBW. His hands were literally next to his knees. I ****in' watted.

5'10", 6'5"

Figured I should have been taller but was only 5'0" until right before junior year of high school, shot up 7" in a month and a half, bedridden due to growing too fast and missed first few weeks of school, thought it was my time to grow. Slowly only 3 more inches over the year and then nothing....

[aminus]

holy **** that's a lot of growing in a month and a half. what was that like? your parents must have been pissed having to suddenly buy a brand new wardrobe for you

Because it's extremely uncommon. Your spine is probably too long for your body, because that would give you more of the frame of a 5'7" guy.

How do you call it a troll thread and then point out a specific genetic difference you have? Just like that, blacks certainly do have long ass ****ing arms in terms of outliers. Just because you can name ones that do have different stats doesn't mean that the others are false.

My point was to show that there is no set given "trait" of a person based on race. But it's apparent that america is a very backwards country so it doesn't surprise me you still think like this. If there would be a measuring of the wingspan of people of all races with similar heights the differences would be minimal. And if you really think that a professional athletes physical statistics represent the rest of society you're pretty dumb.

And I said "troll thread" because apparently the average misc person is 6'6 tall and have a 7' reach.

[AirForceV]

I'm pretty sure my wing span is exact same as my height. 5'10" or slightly bigger. Never measured.

[bonboy6696]

height 5'1
wingspan 5'9

that you think this says enough about you for me to never bother responding to your thread.

i suppose skin color varying by race isn't a trait either, right? or height? and CERTAINLY not arm length. you're a joke.

U mad? And it isn't my thread FYI it was made by another troll. I just wanted see if anyone had the same wingspan ratio as me.

Skin color is the result of geological adaption to climate. If me and my offspring would live in the equator for some thousands of years my skin tone would change.

The genes in all the different people on earth has pretty much the same potential in skeletal growth if the living standards would be the same in the world. There are also studies that indicate that a high calcium intake (dairy products) improves stature. And this would explain why scandinavians, germans, yugoslavians and dutch people are taller and people in the third world countries with lesser living standards and no dairy products are shorter.

[di3s3l28]

6'6 with a 6'6 wingspan, standing reach is like 8'6 as I can hook my fingers in the bottom of a basketball net.

[fromnewyork]

6'3" height.. 6'3" wingspan.. makes sense I guess

[El Fuerte]

[jismface]

[Tjttylert13]

inb4 e-stats,

Wingspan: 6'7

u mad?

Height 6'6 1/2
Wingspan 6'7 1/2
age 17. U mad?

[Igmann]

6'2"...84 inch armspan

[Tjttylert13]

My standing reach is 8'3". Not bad; not good. Not gonna get scouted for it (luckily, I've never played any sports... I look at wingspan as a contributor to aestheticism). My hands are 8 inches long.

Im 6'6 with a 6'7 inch wingspan. Since you are 2 inches shorter in height and 3 inches shorter in wingspan, that means my reach should be 5 inches higher than yours (since both height and wingspan contribute to reach). This should put my reach at 8'7, however my reach is only 8'4. Wadafuq?!? Is it maybe just broader chest or shoulders that add to my wingspan and shorter arms that subtract from my reach or what?

[Tjttylert13]

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

I stopped growing in height summer between freshman and sophomore year (would havve been 15 or 16 cant remember) i was 6'6 and wingspan was 6'4. Since then my hands have grown and inch and a half, and my wingspan is now 6'7. Your arms are one of the last things to stop growing, so you may have been like me and your arms have yet to catch up to your height.

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.)

6' with 6'7" reach, coach saw that in highschool and moved me to middle linebacker because of it.
