Great...I'm a miniature T-Rex :roll:. OP, are you sure that formula doesn't only apply to guys?

Yeah I think girls have a little bit shorter arms. My sister is 5'4" has reach 5'5" though.

When was "as a kid" ? A 6'3" he's got an 8 foot reach easily. You mean as a kid when you were 5'10" or as a kid when you were like 5'? Hopefully not the latter!

Well, Phelp's wingspan isn't freakish, but his appetite is. I was listening to the radio the other day and they said that he eats 12k calories a day. Wow!

Wow, and his diet would be considered very unhealthy by a normal person's standards. Lots of pasta, pizza, energy drinks (which are high on sugar) and high carb foods. He just works out so much that all those carbs are burned.

6'6" on a bad day. No idea what my wingspan is. We'd need special measuring equipment for that.

Didn't notice your lats, but your cheeks can sure pack some nuts.
