Measure of a Man ~ Simplistic Body Segment Analysis

[O-Train]

Probably applies the most to Olympic and Powerlifters but it's useful for everyone who lifts weights so I thought I would post it here. It's a short article that looks at body segment lengths and how a person's anthropometrics effect weight lifting technique.

Good article.Something that needs to be studied more often.

Cool article. I remember reading about Ed Coan and him talking about his long arms and how it helped him pull crazy weights, so its safe to say that the way we are built can affect how we perform in the gym.
