Micheal phelps is an alien

>Several physical attributes particularly suit Phelps to swimming: his long, thin torso offers low drag; his arms span 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm)—disproportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm)—and act as long, propulsive paddles; his relatively short legs lower drag, and perhaps add the speed enhancement of a hydrofoil; his size-14 feet provide the effect of flippers; and his hypermobile ankles can extend beyond the pointe of a ballet dancer, enabling him to whip his feet as if they were fins for maximum thrust through the water. His lungs are nearly twice the size of the average human's, at 12 litres.

The level of lucky physical freakishness that is required to be an Olympian is truly remarkable, and a little bit demoralising.

I'm 6'3 with 7'1 arms and size 15 feet, should I take up swimming?

...are you sure you're measuring that right?

My arms damn near go down to my knees and I'm skinny as fuck lel

Post pics slendyman

If I measured wrong, which is very well possible because I did it myself, they are very disproportionately long even still

Couldn't get a pic with my full body without being a normie and going outside but yeah they are substantially longer than my height, by several inches

dude take up swimming NOW

SLENDY

Take up swimming and professional cosplay as Slenderman, user, you're a freak

Talking about expectation management and delivery slendyman.
I recommend Starting Swim for 2 months to get that dere base. and get a good coach asap

Swimming and boxing potential to be quite honest.

I can deadlift a lot, too. Because I only need to move the bar four inches.

You remind me of this cat

That shadow

I mean the long arms, anyways TAKE UP SWIMMING

I have the same armspan as Phelps while being 5'10" with long legs and big feet
Was also swimming since 4, stopped at 16, now 21

Should I get back to it?

He has a genetic disorder that makes him like that.

Become a record breaking deadlifter Pl

he *thinks* he *might* have a genetic disorder

he goes to get tested for Marfan's every year at some university, but so far they think he probably doesnt have it as he lacks the hypoglycemia, skeletal defects associated with the disorder and some other stuff.

so its a "maybe". not even a "probably"

Thanks for correction user.

Couldn't fit it all in the frame
And had to get down on my knees cause no high support for my phone

sick shoulders user

jealous of those delts bruh

Nice thigh gap senpai

Thanks brehs

My adductors insert really high ;_;
But I admit it, I have no legs whatsoever
Tried just about everything for them

unf

please come and fuck me

i live in London

Many swimmers have lung capacities 1.5-2 times that of normal people. It has to do with the fact that swimmers need to intake as much air as possible with each breath. And you're just describing a typical Olympic swimmer body. Lochte has a similar body.

Deadlifting easy for you?

Yes
Can pull 440 as a minimum any day

ayy lmao

Nice delts and pect. Minor.

Thats not a 7ft 1 wingspan, I'd advise you to measure that again.

Ye you're right it's not. My bad pham, 6'8.

>1.88m tall
>1.98m wingspan
>20 years old
