That's a great point Krane.
I have similar issues. I'm very long-limbed for my height. (I have no torso. If I wear pants on my waist, I look like an old man. It's sad really.) The longer limbs also affect my deadlifts and squats.
On another note, does anyone have any advice for bulking up, cleanly? I'm incredibly lanky. I'm able to lift a decent amount of weight given my build, but I'd really like to bulk up a little bit. No matter how much I lift or eat, I just cannot seem to put on any mass.
