My wingspan is 3 inches longer than my height

[TomathonClancy]

I'm 5'9 and have a wingspan of about 6 feet. Got really scared I might have marfan's but I checked and I miss the ratio cutoff (plus I don't have any other abnormalities like a caved in abdominal region or ultra long fingers and toes).

My question is what's the best thing I can do in a situation like that? Should I bulk my arms up by prioritizing them more during workouts? Or will that make me look way too disproportional?

ideally you'd get LL given your height and proportions.

Lmao. I'm 6'2" with a 6'8" wingspan, looks normal.

yeah ppl get way too pedantic about proportions, what matters is if it looks normal or not. I'd be way more concerned about his height if I was him.

Is 5'9 really that bad? I get that it's not tall by any means but sheesh.

it's not ideal, not death tier tho. I'd at the very least start lift maxing to 5'11-6ft. also going to depend on where you live/what type of community you live in.

I guess I could see the community thing playing a role in this. I used to live around a lot of hispanic guys (super chill people btw) and so I felt fine among them height-wise. Whites are taller, but that's just how it is.

I guess I could put on the air forces more often.
