[grimballer]

this thread is a decade old bro i don’t think he’s listening

lets hope he moved to bigger and better things

 

[HeffDoesWant]

there's no advantage to having long torso and short legs

NONE

TDD

Balance

Good leg power for your height (torso saves weight).

It's not a net win but it does have advantages

I think long legs are better but your willingness to form a style that compliments your body type obviously matters more.

What about guys like rockhold with long leg long torso and long arms?

The real question is: how are none of these people banned? Any old thread that gets necro'd is full of banned users.

I’m not sure if it’s a thing where you can have short legs, long torso and short arms but that’s probably the worst if so.

Anti - Fedorism is usually the cause of those dead ones.

Look at Dustin Ortiz. I always thought his body was so unproportionate. Super long torso

 

[brummymma]

Long limbs an obvious advantage, look at how Israel uses his reach against strikers. It's a disadvantage wrestling for him.

This is one of the weirdest necro bumps I have ever seen.

 

[thobra]

Long limbs. A positive ape index is always a huge advantage in most sports.
Both your examples: Jones and GSP have positive ape-indexes.

Fedor has a proportioned body.

He certainly does
