The strongest long fingers in the world. People from the Guinness Book of Records (52 photos). The biggest fingers on the hands

Ideal body proportions

The figures of ancient sportsmen-athletes are rightfully considered an example of ideal body proportions. The Roman architect Vitruvius worked on the formula of harmonious proportions in ancient times, believing that the figure of a man with arms spread apart and legs apart should fit simultaneously into a circle and a square. The side of this square is equal to the height of a person and the span of his arms. Later in the 15th century, the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci supplemented the concept of harmonious body proportions with his research.

Indicator of good health

The dimensions and proportions of a human figure are not always ideal. They are genetically predetermined and can change during life under the influence of physical exertion or illness. Proportional addition is not only beautiful - it is an indicator of good health. The endocrine gland, the pituitary gland, is responsible for human growth in the body. Violations in her work lead to such a phenomenon as gigantism. All people of exorbitant stature had some kind of problem with this gland.

Resident of Ukraine Leonid Stadnik

The longest arms and the tallest growth in the history of mankind were possessed by a resident of the United States, Robert Wadlow. Its parameters were last measured in 1940. By this time, his height reached 2.72 m to grow, and his arm span was 2.88 m. By an absurd accident, he died in the same year from sepsis, rubbing his leg with a crutch. Our contemporary, a resident of Ukraine Leonid Stadnik, slightly lagged behind in body size from Wadlow. He was entered in the Guinness Book of Records twice - as the owner of the longest palm - 31 cm (at a rate of 24 cm), and as the owner of the tallest height in the world - 2.59 m.

Modern giants

Leonid's rapid growth began in adolescence, when the pituitary gland was damaged during an operation to remove a tumor. In 2008, Stadnik refused to confirm his Guinness record due to a tedious measurement procedure. Due to his refusal, the owner of the longest arms, according to the Guinness Book, is now considered the giant Sultan Kosen, a farmer from Turkey. Today, his parameters are: height 2.46 m, arm span - 2.75 m.

The Guinness Book of Records is the most amazing thing. This is the only way to become famous, to surpass something or someone who is less powerful or interesting. Ask the guy who caught the most balls in two minutes how many times someone came up to him and asked, "Are you the guy who catches balls with his mouth?"

In addition to talents that will not be useful in normal life, there are also very interesting ones. Such people are said to have been blessed with genetics itself or not bothered with basic personal hygiene tasks. It is about the most amazing parts of the body that this article will tell. As the name implies, we will talk about the long parts of the body, but not about those that many immediately thought of. We are sorry. Of course, you can do it yourself if you want, but no one will be responsible for any results. And advice for men: never measure anything in yourself, otherwise you will immediately feel bad.

Anyway, no need to dive into the realm of the genitals, let's take a look at 9 amazing people with the longest body parts.

While the recorded record belongs to Nick Stoberl, whose tongue is as much as 10 cm, Gerkari Bracho claims that her tongue is much longer - by as much as 5 mm. The woman insists on revising the results. In any case, this is a strange and not very pleasant sight.

The longest eyelashes (Valery Smagliy)

Longest legs (Svetlana Pankratova and Chase Kennedy)

With incredible legs, the length of which is as much as 132 cm, the Russian woman, naturally, got into the Guinness Book of Records. She deservedly holds this title since 2003.

Longest neck (Padaung women in Myanmar)

Using coils to increase the length of the neck is not that strange, but it sounds kind of wild, but Padaung women in Myanmar have worn such accessories since childhood.

Adult women have their own coils and they take them off sometimes.

There are people with deviations from the norm, anomalies of proportions. So, people with big hands, with long arms, people with unusually thumbs are known. In the animal kingdom, monkeys have long arms.

The man with the largest hands

If we evaluate men's hands from the point of view of palmistry, then men have many more types of hands than women. So, rigid hands speak of an energetic masculine character, and large red hands speak of clumsiness and clumsiness. A man with a scapular type of hands is usually prone to manual labor, while being constant in love. The stronger sex has artistic hands, angular hands and philosophical.

Women, when they first meet a man, evaluate his hands. This is a subconscious accent, however, it is not at all accidental. It is believed that women's hands show how much their owner cares for them, whether they care enough for them. Men's hands, on the other hand, can tell a lot about their owner.

If a man has small hands, he is probably hardworking and restrained, he can be a good father and husband. Men with large hands are always the objects of close attention of women. The owners of large hands are decent, kind-hearted and active, although they may have bouts of laziness.

There are people whom nature has endowed with some kind of anomaly. When it comes to long hair or phenomenal memory, this can be considered an advantage, but there are other unusual abnormalities. So in China there is a man named Liu Hua, who has the largest hand in the world. Before he underwent surgery, the arm weighed about ten kilograms. His thumb was twenty-six centimeters long, his forefinger thirty centimeters long, and the middle one fifteen. The reason for this anomaly is a rare disease.

The man with the longest arms is Sultan Kosen, a farmer from Turkey. The span of his arms is two meters seventy-five centimeters. The height of this man is two meters forty-six centimeters.

Women with longest arms

According to anthropologists and researchers, the basis of female attractiveness is high growth and long arms. Despite the fact that the dominant role in determining the attractiveness of the volume of the breasts and hips is imposed, nevertheless, men subconsciously choose tall women with long arms.

Often, for the sake of seduction of men, women wear short skirts and high-heeled shoes, thus demonstrating the length of the legs. Scientists believe that the best way to attract a man's eye is to show long arms. Courteney Cox and Christine Blakely have such hands. This conclusion was drawn from a survey of men in Australia and China.

If a woman has disproportionately long arms, and this is her drawback, you can make it invisible with the help of correctly selected clothes. So, it is better to choose clothes with a lowered armhole, a three-quarter sleeve or semi-long sleeves. Bat-cut dresses or kimonos will suit them. Large cuffs and rolled up sleeves will hide the length of the arms.

It is known that all long-armed people are less susceptible to Alzheimer's disease. This conclusion was made by American researchers. A similar conclusion was made by the scientists of Korea. They stated that increasing the length of the limbs leads to a significant decrease in the likelihood of developing senile dementia.

The patroness of women and the mistress of destinies is the goddess Makosh. This is the goddess of the Eastern Slavs. She was depicted from "female" species of wood - aspen, spruce, willow, pine in the form of a long-armed woman holding a cornucopia or the spindle of fate. In the Slavic pantheon, she is the most powerful goddess.

Monkeys with long arms

Among the monkeys there are especially funny ones with very long arms. These are orangutans. They are clumsy, with brownish-red hair and a large belly. Their extremely long arms are so spaced apart that the distance between the fingers of different hands can be up to two meters or more. Their fingers are strong and long, however, the thumbs are very weakly developed. The life of these animals takes place in the trees. They move from tree to tree using strong and long arms. Their habitat is Sumatra and Borneo.

Long arms are also found in gibbons, gorillas and chimpanzees. These are humanoid apes. A shortened torso and long arms distinguish anthropoid apes from monkeys. Nevertheless, among the monkeys, there are those whose arms are much longer than those of others.

Mona the monkey has naturally long arms. These monkeys live in West Africa. They mainly live on the tops of trees, but feed in the middle and lower tiers of tree crowns. Equally long limbs are possessed by the hussar monkey, which lives in areas from Eastern Ethiopia to Western Sinegal.

People with thumbs

In humans, not only are hands different in shape, fingers are also different. Long fingers are known to indicate that a person is receptive and emotional by nature. Palmistry says that a person with long fingers is prone to painstaking work that requires concentration and full dedication. Whatever work a person with long fingers does, work should be engaging, absorbing. It is believed that very often women with long fingers are easily influenced.

The biggest fingers on the hands

The proportions of the human body depend not only on the parents, many factors influence this. The owner of the longest fingers in the world is Leonid Stadnik. The length of his palm reaches thirty-one centimeters, although usually the length of a human palm is twenty-four centimeters.

Leonidas is a legendary man. He is listed in the Guinness Book of Records twice - both as the owner of the longest fingers and as the tallest person. His height is two meters fifty nine centimeters. True, in August 2014, the record holder died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 44. Therefore, Hussein Bisad is considered the person with the largest hands alive today. The length of his palm is nearly twenty-seven centimeters.

People with the longest arms are not always the strongest .. For example, some of the records of the strongest man in the world by the Lithuanian ydrunas Savickas still cannot be beaten.

Making ratings is a delicate and thankless task. What is the algorithm to determine the most beautiful woman in the world, or the most fashionable outfit, or the most interesting book? As they say, how many people, so many opinions. But mathematics is the queen of sciences, so it's hard to argue with some ratings. The ruler will help you figure out who has the largest nose in the world or the smallest feet. The difficulty is that today there are almost 7.5 billion people in the world, everyone cannot be measured ... But still, let's try to figure out who has the longest arms in the world.

From the Guinness Book of Records

In 2010, the Guinness Book of Records recorded that Sultan Kosen has the longest arms today - 27.5 cm. In addition, the former Turkish basketball player is also the tallest man in the world.

Until the age of 10, the young man was an ordinary child. But then, as a result of brain surgery (the tumor was removed to the Sultan), the pituitary gland was affected, which led to disruption of its work. The boy began to grow literally before our eyes. At the age of 26, his height was 246.5 cm. The main thing that upsets the young man is the inability to establish relationships with girls. Well, yes, any girl is unlikely to reach him above the waist, besides, Sultan Kosen probably not only has the longest arms in the world ...

Before the Sultan, the Ukrainian boy Leonid Stadnik was the record holder in arm length and height. The reason is still the same - disturbances in the work of the pituitary gland. His height was 257 cm, and the length of his palm was 31 cm. But these records are not officially registered, because Leonid Stadnik refused official measurements and asked for peace and quiet.

For reference: the pituitary gland is an appendage of the brain that produces growth hormones. Its dimensions are on average 1.3 * 0.6 * 1.0 cm, and it weighs only half a gram. Here is such a tiny but important organ.

Let's look back in time

In the last century, the longest arms were possessed by the American Robert Wadlow (1918-1940). His arms span was 288 cm, and his palm was 32.4 cm long.

The record holder's story is not very funny. Even at the age of 3 years, he was the most ordinary boy, and at 4 years old he suddenly began to grow very quickly. So quickly that already at the age of 8, his height reached 190 cm, and after 2 years he stretched out to 198 cm and weighed 100 kg at the same time. Doctors did not delay with the diagnosis and immediately determined that the boy had a rare disease of the pituitary gland, the part of the brain responsible for growth.

After leaving school, the American Gulliver (in the land of the Lilliputians) entered the university. He was still growing. By this time, his height was 263 cm with a weight of 223 kg! Therefore, Robert began to be called the tallest man in the world.

He performed at the circus. The room was very basic. The giant just went on stage and measured his height with the audience. The tallest barely reached his waist. He also easily, like toys, took adult men and women in his arms. With this number, he visited every state, became an American celebrity.

He died very young, at 22, from sepsis. The fact is that due to the enormous weight, Robert Wadlow experienced difficulties in walking. He had to lean on a crutch. Speaking on Independence Day in Manistee, he rubbed his leg with a crutch, causing severe inflammation and death.

A lot of people gathered for the funeral of the amazing American. His 500-kilogram coffin was carried by 12 people (6 on each side).

As folk wisdom says: "He has long arms" ...

Long arms are not always literal. In a figurative sense, this means that the person they are talking about is very influential. The word of this person has tremendous weight, millions listen to it (and the CIA is also looking closely). Is there such a person in the world?

According to Forbs magazine, this is Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is not surprising when you consider that he is at the helm of the largest country in the world. Countries with the largest human resources, with the largest nuclear potential, with truly inexhaustible natural resources - land, forest, water, with huge reserves of minerals, including hydrocarbons. With his political will, he changes the course of history.

In second place after Vladimir Vladimirovich is US President Barack Obama, Angela Merkel went even lower one step.

The ten most influential people in the world include computer geniuses Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, and Lawrence Page, the developer of the Google search engine. At the same time, they are called the "longest arms", in other words, the most influential people in the computer world. It's amazing that Mark Zuckerberg, who invented Facebook, was not included in any rating of the most influential people on the planet, but he topped the list of the youngest billionaires in the world, which is also very honorable ...

Fakes

This photo clearly shows that Justin Timberlake has the longest arms in the world. Well, it’s necessary to hug two people at once by the shoulders with each hand! I wonder if this photo is random or a lucky draw?

This photo was taken by accident at the 2006 FIFA World Cup during Australia's game against Japan. It clearly shows that # 13 player Mark Viduk, who was a striker for the Australian national team, has a very long right arm, without a doubt the longest arm in the world.

The successful photo immediately became very popular on the Internet and literally scattered on social networks.

In literature

"Richard Long Arms" is a cycle of 50 books written over 14 years by Yuri Nikitin under the pseudonym Guy Julius Orlovsky (thanks for not Caesar). The author worked on fantasy adventure books from 2001 to 2014 inclusive. Events are developing in a parallel world. The main character Richard, a computer scientist, somehow miraculously finds himself in the Middle Ages, and here the adventures begin that neither Captain Vrungel, nor Captain Richard Blade, nor even Munchausen dreamed of.

I must say that Nikitin is a well-known writer in the genre of science fiction, historical novels, action-packed thrillers. His works are popular without any promotion. But with the cycle "Richard Long Arms" not everything is clear. Most of the evaluations of those who bought the books are extremely negative. Readers scream about a fake, appeal to the publisher's justice and ask for a return of wasted money.

In connection with the great attention that was awarded to one of the residents of our country by the name of Kirill Tereshin, the people became interested - who has the largest hands in the world? Let's try to understand this issue, and at the same time find out how safe it is to get carried away with increasing volumes with the help of chemistry.

Worthy of a record!

At the moment, a man named Hussein Bisad has the largest hands in the world. It's hard to believe, but the length of his palms is 26.9 cm. In April 2007, representatives of the Guinness Book of Records came to the UK to measure and record this fact. Hussein himself turned out to be a cordial and cheerful person, which immediately appealed to the editor-in-chief Craig. The record was fixed, and Bisad received due attention to his person. Having the biggest hands in the world and at the same time being a mischievous and funny guy - what could be more interesting for fans of this record holder? American armwrestler Jeff Deib is not far behind Hussein. The size of his palm can be judged from the photo. An impressive sight!

Sports and more

If we talk about the size of the hands, then undoubtedly, first of all, everyone represents bodybuilders. You can argue for a long time whether it is beautiful or not, but it is pointless to argue that this is a huge work. Despite a lot of stereotypes, these people deserve great respect, as proof of which we present a list of truly outstanding athletes who will make many of you change your mind. Also find out who has the largest hand volume in the world!

Jean Pierre Fuchs

A bodybuilder from Switzerland began training at the age of 16. A year later, he noticed that he was quite different from his peers - his weight had already reached 100 kilograms. In 1993, he took part in the amateur bodybuilding world championship, where he finished fourth. The next year, he again appeared in front of the judges and took the champion title.

The guy began his career growth - he began to appear for magazine covers and received a lot of lucrative offers from a variety of companies. But a tragic accident broke all his plans - once during training, he unsuccessfully lifted a weight of 310 kg and fell, breaking his leg. A difficult recovery process followed, but the young man could not return to the previous loads. For another 4 years he participated in various competitions, proving his fortitude and fortitude to the whole world.

Nasser El Sonbati

The German athlete was not interested in bodybuilding - as a teenager, he was not interested. During his student years, curiosity led Nasser to the gym. He came out from there one of the most famous strongmen on the planet.

The guy showed a real natural propensity for bodybuilding - his muscles grew very quickly. The results, to which other athletes have been going for years, the athlete demonstrated several months later. The first competitions in Germany did not bring him fame. Not wanting to give up, the young man went to Yugoslavia, where his form was appreciated - he became a real star. Nasser boasted more than just muscle mass - he has several degrees in history, political science and sociology. He was fluent in seven languages. The athlete died early - at the age of 47 he died of kidney failure.

Paul Dillett

The former footballer from his youth began to create the relief of his forms. At the age of 26, he tried to take first place in competitions in North America, but that year Paul was not lucky. He ventured to speak at the next championship and won over all the judges. The unconditional victory and triumph of the bodybuilder became the most significant event in his life. Surprisingly, the athlete developed his own training system, which was based on a scientific approach. He approached the gland, being in a state of passion, which contributed to a sharp surge of adrenaline in the blood. This is how he achieved his excellent results.

These were the most significant figures with the largest arms in the bodybuilding world in the last century. Now you won't surprise anyone with these volumes, but their names are worth knowing, if only because they achieved such results through training. Now let's look at the current heroes, whose merits are in great doubt.

Blood and sweat

Yes, we will talk about anabolic steroids. After all, looking at Denis Sester, it is simply impossible to believe that such results can be achieved only through physical training. The volume of the biceps is 77.8 cm. This is an absolute world record, and he can safely be awarded a medal for "The largest arms in the world." An interesting fact - Denis was a follower of the previous record holder named Grego Valentino. The teacher's result was more modest - 71 cm. At 23, he already had a volume of 53 cm, but this seemed to him not enough. He began to increase his biceps due to anabolic steroids and other chemicals. The payback was not long in coming - liver cancer. Denis followed in his footsteps, as evidenced by his completely unnatural form of hands. It can deservedly be called the largest "synthol" hands in the world.

Impressive results from modern heroes

For those who did not manage to achieve such high results as the two previously voiced characters, there are also a couple of lines in the article. They could not overtake, but came close to champion volumes.

• Canadian athlete Greg Kovacs - 67 cm.
• Two-meter bodybuilder Noah Steer - 66 cm.
• Briton Zach Khan - 61 cm.
• Lithuanian athlete Robert Burneika - 61 cm.
• Phil Heath and Lee Priest - 56 cm.
• Wrestler Robert Swenson and Manfred Heberl - 63 cm.

"Synthol" is never too much

In order to talk about the safety of "Synthol", it is worth knowing what it consists of. Until now, no one knows the real formula of this substance, and everyone who makes it on their own runs the risk of being left not only without result, but also without hands. The approximate composition of Synthol is 85% oil (sesame or coconut, 7.5% lidocaine, 7.5% benzyl alcohol. How safe can such an explosive mixture be? , then Russian "heroes" cook synthol at home and inject it in liters.

Hands-bazookas, or How to become Bezrukov in the literal sense of the word

Such internet heroes cause only two reactions in adequate people - bewilderment and disgust. A thin Pyatigorsk guy has already managed to pour several liters into his own hands and is not going to stop there. He makes the drug at home and even manages to sell it to people like him, not entirely reasonable people. It is impossible to look at this person without tears. Moreover, these are tears of pity not for him, but rather for his mother. The poor woman goes on television with her son in the hope of regaining his mind.

Doctors literally shout that he will soon lose both hands, but the syntholster does not take their word for it, because there were no precedents! The guy should have learned more about the substance itself and those who have already suffered from its use. For anyone who thinks about this, the following are the possible consequences.

• Risk of nerve damage and paralysis of the limb.
• Risk of infection.
• Numbness of the extremities due to constriction of blood vessels "Synthol".
• The ingress of oil into the bloodstream and, as a result, vascular embolism.
• Swelling at the injection site.
• Development of an allergic reaction.
