[QUOTE="Granelli31, post: 12626322, member: 51146"] Have you ever seen someone with really long arms who is very strong for their size...no. Look at power-lifters, they are pretty proportionate. I don't think the lanky body type is preferred at all for feats of strength. Wide receivers have very long arms and aren't generally that strong, they are athletic, but not in pure strength. There are probably some genetic things that come into play, look at how big a chimps arms are, not much bigger than a big man if any bigger, but they are massively stronger than us lb for lb. Isn't that simply because of where the ligaments/muscles attach to the forearm and the general ratio's at work? Just like a hyena's bit force compared to say a large dog. The hyena's head isn't much bigger if any than a very large dog, however because of the way the muscles are layed out, the leverage is much greater. [/QUOTE]
