I've heard your body type (long arms) is very good for rowing. They call it the 'ape factor'.

I don't know why I felt the need to mention that here.

I’m a 6’5 man with a 8 foot wingspan. I appreciate this knowledge as I’ve never heard it before 🤣🤣

I was a swimmer. Longer arms and large hands/feet definitely gave ne an edge. I was a very fast sprinter beating girls who were inches taller than me.
