I was researching different dead-lift stances, and I found an article that may be of interest to you guys:

Scroll down to the infographic about arm and torso length.

Hand length is always included.

Really? You're measuring from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of your middle finger, right?
Mine are similiar--about 43% of my nighttime height.
Quote from: Uppland on February 02, 2015, 08:10:12 AMYes but it's strange because my armspan is only 174CM, maybe I have small shoulders?
I think that might be it, fortunately my hips are quite small as well so it looks pretty decent anyway I'd say.
My shoulders are actually pretty broad, so this is also curious to me. Perhaps since the arm length measurement includes the shoulders, broadness might actually contribute to arm length.
No, I actually meant arm length, at least as measured in the said way.
