When it comes to exercising, what are the pros and cons to having shit leverages? I am pretty sure I have awful leverages for the "big 3" exercises(deadlift, bench press and squat). I still do them all but what is the silver lining behind it all? I have long arms, short torso, long legs. I am 6 foot and 1 inch tall. Are some exercises just never going to look or feel good? My squat looks terrible in comparison to my friend who is 5 foot 8 inches tall. I also don't feel like I am particularly strong because every exercise feels like shit even though I still do them. The squat in particular feels the most garbage to me. So what are the pros and cons of having shit leverages? Is there any bonus at all?!

To have shit leverages on the deadlift you need short arms and long legs/torso(manlets)
To have shit leverages on the bench you need long arms (lanklets)
To have shit leverages on the squat you need long legs and a long torso(can be both)

lifting a lot of weight through a short range of motion is doing jackshit to build muscle or strength so who fucking cares

You don't have to do the squat if you're only looking for hypertrophy. same with deadlifts. Same with bench, but i don't think there's many people who hate them. Some just think incline is superior.

but with squats there's a couple of things you have to do in order to find your appropriate foot placement and leg width.

Who cares if you have bad leverages? I doubt you're trying to become a powershitter so the only person you're competing with is yourself.

You guys are both manlets. Why even bother existing at that point?
