im 8 foot with a standing reach of ¨11 feet¨, height and standing reach are not always gonna be the same/equivalent. every dream is possible, just use a rack torture device to increase height and arm length boys.

In reply to Some dummy. The data is certainly a little skewed towards longer arms, but I mention that in the article as well. But for me, (and a lot of other people), the estimates are pretty good. I'm about 6ft and my standing reach is 7'11

In reply to Andy.

These standards aren’t very good because the population was elite level basketball players. Not average men or even college athletes. The data is far too skewed to actually use.

I’ve been told by multiple physios that I have notably long arms. My arms are 31.5″ but my standing reach is barely 7’6″, at 5’10” exactly.

If anything, average standing reach is much closer to 7′ than 8′.
