armreach

[LTguy]

can someone teach me how to measure armreach rightly and correctly

[Desaturated]

armpit to tip of clenched fist, isnt it?

[Malchius]

I think that is just HBO's way of doind it. HBO said Klitchko's reach was 26" and brewster's 25" but, it was quite clear that Klitchko had a reach advantage og more than an inch.

i know that klitschko has long arms, but i am as tall as he is so i wanna know what armreach i have, i wanna know how to measure it right

[judge_jab]

you measure fingertip to fingertip, but in reality it doesn't always matter, some people have longer fingers and wider shoulders, it should be done armpit to fist like HBO does it.

oh thanks, if i measure from fingertip to fingertip its 83 inches, and from armpit to fist i am 31 inches is my armreach good? i'm same as wlad (6'6")

Wlad is 26" according to HBO which is weird, My reach is 24 1/2" but I'm 5"6. It can be good if you use it like Wlad did against Brewster.

wider shoulders do still mean that your chin is further from then opponent when you hit his so IMO it is important the legnth of two similar sized peples hands is unlikely to be more than half an inch

[LTguy]

but is my armreach good for my size?
