Short Legs, short arms
« on: April 08, 2019, 03:37:27 PM »
Anyone else got this combination?, my inseam is only 27.5", and my arm length is only around 163-164cm's, did all the calculations, and if I went for 5.5cm's in both the tibia and femur the leg to torso ratio would only be 45.1%. Also considering 5cms in humerus lengthening, don't know if that is too much?, but again what ratio do you other guys have. Ohh by the way I'm around 169.75-170'cm's in height, so more or less a weak 5'7.

Same.

But i'm increasing my height significantly anyways.

If i'm out of proportion to the point where people are telling me everyday (which just isn't going to happen). I'll deal with that problem after this one

And to answer your question, no I don't wear elevator shoes, just have a short wingspan is all.

Fair point, I'm currently saving for it myself, honestly might start with humerus lengthening if I'm allowed to do it first, what doctor are you considering anyway?.

Bro, why would you think of doing your humerus first?? Your biggest insecurity is height right? Do that and then for all you know, your arms might not even matter. Definitely start with legs

Will see nearer the time, but I would make completely sure I have enough for leg lengthening and humerus lengthening, my arms would look comically short without it, but yeah in all likely hood I probably will go with leg lengthening first.

yes do the legs 1st if ur short. ppl don generally notice arm size relative to body size. wat is noticed is the overall frame size which will be uplifted with legs. u can bulk up arms and if u decide do it later. It shouldnt be ur primary concern unless uve got 4 inch humerus.

I haven't found the full article jet but in this there is a passage which says that arm length doesn't bother.

Thats weird. My inseam is 32, and I'm 5'7.5. I have a long (5'11) wingspan though.
