[QUOTE="65stangvert, post: 12626208, member: 137663"] It is an advantage to have shorter limbs due to the mechanical disadvantage if long limbs. Try holding a 20lb weight in you hand straight with a straight arm. Then try it again holding the weight in the krook of your elbow. It is not quit this simple as fast twitch muscle % plays a major role, but strictly answering ops question, short lever gives greater advantage. Travel of weight plays no role. Degree is Sports Medicine here as a reference. Sorry for long answer...:banghead: Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 [/QUOTE]
