Title: Knee height in sitting position
Post by: Bedenc167cm on April 12, 2015, 12:47:27 PM
I´d like to know something about the height of the knees at various tall men and Boys.

My knees, in sitting and barefoot, are just 49 cm highly >:(

57.5 cm after lengthening 7.5 cm. Starting height 167. So 50 cm before LL.

Mine is 51 if I remember correctly, it's quit low and also the only reason for my low inseam. I'm sure my tibia\femur ratio is below 0,8.
I have pretty long femoral bones, I'll have my x-rays on wednesdays so I'll know more about that soon.

You've got some tiny ass tibias for your height. A great candidate for tibia lengthening!

checked the old thread, your tibias shrank 2 cm since then and mine 0.5 cm lol  :o

That's why I added 'if I remember correctly'  ;D I know that I measured it but well I forgot about the exact number, all I know is that they are really short, my gym buddy is 170 and his knees are on the same level as mine.
I didn' t try to lie about my knee height, I just forgot the exact number sry :P
52,5, I used a book get a more accurate result this time, still not 51 :D
