    Im about an inch taller than Wlad Klitschko but my wingspan is only 78 compared to his 81 inches. How can I add that extra Inch 1/2 to my range?
    It's like asking why do ****stars have bigger penis?
    It's called genetic.

            but seriously you need to add to your lat width. THAT is what extends arm reach and makes them appear to be longer and gives you more range. do pullups and high rep count "pulling" exercises.

              How old are you?

              you stop growing at 18-21 but reach keeps expanding till late twenties.

              also the reach measurement is pretty bull****. Because it's wing-span it takes into account chest aswell not just arm length. And i seriosuly doubt some of the measurements given, i.e Sonny Liston recorded as:

              Height: 6′ 0½″ / 184cm
              Reach: 84″ / 213cm

                They don't have long reaches for their heights, I'd say a bit shorter than average. Sonny Liston at 6" had an 84 or 86 inch reach.

                Maybe they get it by swinging from trees???

                For you to increase a half an inch (why the hell a half an inch) tie yourself to a tree, then tie a rope around your wrists, with the other end around the bumper of a car, and get your pal to slowly drive away. SLOWLY mind you........

                If this doesn't work, I have other solutions, but drastic.

                    You can grow until age about 25. 21 is the one-time age of majority.

                      And Liston's reach is a problem how exactly? His reach is pretty well established and one of the reasons why he's considered generally to have the all-time best jab at Heavyweight. You think he could jab like that if he had Tyson's 72 inch reach?
