Having really short legs and femurs is ideal for squatting
Ok that is weird. How come long legs and femurs is the most attractive then? Wouldn't it make sense from a evolutionary perspective to be attracted towards function? If short legs and femurs is the best for squatting that it also what we should find the most attractive.
Well i guess you are right in the sense that squatting might not be the most significant task a human can do, i didn't think of that. But other benefits would it offer to have long legs if they are weaker? What can they do?
>Greater mobility
This is one those meme things that don't really mean anything. Why does longer lefts have more mobility and in what sports or scenarios is that a benefit?
>In reality, it doesn’t make as big of a difference as people think. In fact, while tall people may have longer stride length, they also generally carry more weight than shorter people, which can even out the playing field (although, this, of course, varies from individual to individual).
>Interestingly, most physiologists would predict that Bolt’s height at 6 ft, 4 inches (193 centimeters) would put him at a disadvantage. “Bigger people are going be slower out of the blocks,” says Udofa, simply because it takes more force to get them going. It’s the same thinking why animals like T. Rex and elephants are slower than you might expect; it takes a lot of force to get them going, and their muscles can’t maintain the energy needed to get them up to speed and then keep that pace.
When we compare the stature of the endurance and sprint athletes, we will find many short stature top class endurance athletes. They typically are of East African origin. And while their Caucasian counterparts seem to be taller, the endurance athlete can be shorter than the sprinter in general. However, the sprinter also comes in a wide variety of sizes. A number of authors note that size has no influence on running at a constant speed [2]. This tells us that endurance athletes can be either short or tall, and really size is inconsequential in terms of endurance performance.
Being tall is however a disadvantage when it comes to running uphill. Also tall athletes may be a disadvantage when it comes to acceleration. In other words, the shorter athlete or player will be better able to accelerate and control their own body weight compared to a taller individual. We can also see practical support for this in Gymnastics where the athletes are relatively small compared to the field sports and court sports players. Certainly, where sports such as basketball and volleyball are concerned then stature is an important physical characteristic. Also, when it comes to flying or top speed, taller athletes may have an advantage.
>So when it comes to looking at the stature of sprint athletes in an Olympic 100m final, do not be surprised that the athletes lining up at the start might very well be tall,
Ops, did you just get knowledge mogged by 3.6/10 balding manlet incel?

You are so retarded that you don't even understand HOW your argument is wrong.
And no, I won't explain it to you.
This is hilarious.

I'll give you a hint
Go look a picture of Usain Bolt or any top level sprinter
Do the same with a marathoner
See what they have in common >it's not that they're black

>confusing height for leg length
go read an anatomy book, please
This thread reminds me of something; do men have much better ankle mobility than women naturally or something? Men have proportionally longer legs typically which makes an upright squat harder but most of the extremely vertical squats I see are all men; I don't see women squatting with a vertical torso very often, they're always very bent over no matter what the bar position is.
It's likely because they're actively stick their ass out more or they never did athletics and have bad movement patterns
Olympic weightlifting women don't have this problem
>Olympic weightlifting women don't have this problem
You're right about this actually now that I think about it, it's mostly in other sports or the general gym population where this seems to be an issue
I have long legs and they are the worst for both squatting and deadlifting. I also have short arms, which makes deadlifting even worse. For me to have a flat back when deadlifting my upper back is literally lower than my hips. That is how far i have to reach down.
Yes for squatting on my dick
There guys I did the post, now discuss the topic
that was really uncalled for

@sarahlhouchens
How is squatting more evolutionary significant than other height benefits?
Well i guess you are right in the sense that squatting might not be the most significant task a human can do, i didn't think of that. But other benefits would it offer to have long legs if they are weaker? What can they do?
Greater mobility and movement speed. You really can think of this yourself?
>Greater mobility
This is one those meme things that don't really mean anything. Why does longer lefts have more mobility and in what sports or scenarios is that a benefit?
>Greater movement speed
>Better at running and walking

Stature – does height matter in speed?

Long legs have way more functions.
such as?
Better at running and walking, sight extends further, better reach, more power in legs.
>more power in legs.
The how come people with short legs and femurs are better squatters?
i like woman with shorter legs and wide hips, although not comically short
>Yes for squatting on my dick
What did he mean by that?
That anon has a small penis.
A woman with longer femurs can get her ass closer to the ground, which means she would be more effective at fucking him.
??? That's the worst
Having really short legs and femurs is ideal for squatting
Just give the name nigga
Perfect body
Also
ITT: Morons getting baited by a troll
She's got guy proportions. How are her shoulders wider than her hips, which are basely wider than her waist?
First time seeing a tranny?
https://www.instagram.com/sarahlhouchens/?hl=en
Not a tranny
And where the fuck are you seeing trannies that look like that?
Why isnt her reflection in the mirror reversed? Am i retarded?
imagine looking at her from the position the mirror is at. that's what she'd look like.
