Tension between keeping the hips close to the wall and hanging with straight arms? I have been climbing for about a year, and this might be noob question, but there are two core rules of climbing that sometimes seem to be in tension for me.

I am a somewhat tall climber (6"0´) and it would seem that staying close to the wall sometimes limits the distance between footholds and handholds so that hanging with straight arms (in order not to engage the biceps as much) becomes more difficult?

Is this a correct assesment? What to do about it, and which rule to prioritize?
