Man it sucks having monkey arms.. not just for my strength but size too as it takes alot more muscle to make it look like you even lift.

I always thought i had abnormal arms but didnt realize by how much until today at work a couple employees and i who are all about same height did a reaching up contest. I reached like a foot taller than them it was insane.

Anybody else have long ass arms?

Measure your wingspan, if you're white/Asian/Latino, it should match your height fairly well. Then go ahead and measure arm length from your armpit to the end of your middle finger.

That will give you a decent idea on where you stand. I have a longer wingspan but short arms so it doesn't mean much.
 
No. They are long, but not freakishly so.

Have you been scouted by a circus?
 
I have orangutan arms. Really nice for deadlifts, shit for bench.

Is it different for other etnias ?

Exactly, I was coming to say that.

Actually decent wingspan with short arms means broad shoulders (wide/long clavicles) which often equals wide back/chest and large delts.

You should have a decent p4p bench with those proportions, and possibly good overhead and weighted pull up too.

I don't have extremely long arms. But you could be a deadlifting machine with long arms. I remember being at a PL meet and a poor guy with short t-rex arms had to pull the bar over his junk and the bar got caught. You have a mechanical advantage if you put in the time and learning, so use this to your advantage.

What do you mean it got caught? On his cack?
