It's not that simple, but generally yes. There are some lifters with longer limbs like Ivan Markov, Viktor Getts and Szymon Kolecki. Andrei Rybakou has a very weird physique (and technique) for weightlifting, but he also holds a snatch record that will likely never be broken, at least under the current system. Yurik Vardanian was the same, and it's not a stretch to consider him the greatest weightlifter of all time.
