Not to single you out Jeebus, just something I've been thinking about recently.
I hear lots of people complain that they can't squat as much weight because they have long legs, or can't bench press as much because they have long arms. When I look at my Overhead Press form check videos, I'm struck by how long my arms are and think I could probably do more weight if they were a little shorter.
But long arms are a huge advanage in almost every other situation. When I play softball they allow me to generate more bat speed. When I play hockey they allow me to use a shorter stick which in turn improves my stick handling. When I play soccer they make it easier to shield the ball. So I think it's actually a pretty damn good tradeoff to have to use smaller plates at the gym, but to have all the functional advantages outside it.
