That's MMA fighter, Artem Lobov. He has a height of 175cm. His stats state his reach is 165cm. I am not familiar with MMA terminology, but maybe reach is the same as wingspan ?, so his wingspan is 165cm ?


Here is a photo of Artem Lobov(far right of image), standing next to Coonor Mcgregor. McGregor and Lobov appear to be of the same height, with the same torso and leg length, but Lobov's arms are definitely shorter compared to McGregors.

I assume reach is wingspan which means he’s basically 10 cm (4 inches) under his actual height lol so effectively if his arms aren’t being taken into question then it’s vary unlikely mine would be, also on that you’d think he did LL with that reach it’s actually strange to see

If you don't mind me asking, what's your height and wingspan?

With your arms at your sides, how far down do they reach ?

Personally I also think it's better to taller with shorter arms than being shorter in height and having proportioned arms. Height is something that people pay attention to or focus on not arm length. So unless your arms are freakishly short like wingspan under 15cm of your height and your arms can't reach past your waist. I wouldn't worry about it. Plus, if you workout, do bench press, shorter arms can give you an advantage.

My wingspan is almost 9 whole cms longer than my height. If I could, I would gladly trade a few cm from my wingspan and add them to my height to be taller.

I’m around 5’7 (171cm) my wingspan is 173cm I’d like to get to at least 5’11 over two surgeries 5 cm in both femurs and tibia

I googled this fighter and his arms are really short but dont look that bad on other pics as in the pic above. I agree being taller with shorter arms is still much better than being short in height with huge arm length. Of course as long as its not extremely abnormal like more than 10 cm difference. Then I would suggest arm lengthening

So really I’d be ok to lengthen the 10 cm with my arms being ok I’m worried tho because shows add like 2-3 cm in height so I’d end up closer to 6’0 with like 173 cm arms would that still be ok

You could make mockups to see how it looks. The fighter guy is 175 cm, he is not tall. I guess the taller you are the less conspicuous is the arm length for aesthetics exept you are far away from norm

Do a mock up LL of yourself on ms paint. This is the only way now you will know how you will most likely look after LL surgery and get an idea of what your proportions will be.
