Title: Seriously worried about ratios after lengthening 6cm.
Post by: AnotherLevel on July 18, 2015, 11:01:54 PM

Hello everyone, long time reader, and finally decided i needed to get me more involved.

Im currently 167 cm height, and my inseam measures 81.3 cm. im genuinely planning on doing 6cm internal femurs with guichet as soon as i can raise the funds.

I really want to get my height up to 173 cm (5 foot 8 is my realistic goal) but after lengthing my femurs by 6 cm they will reach 87.3. This is exactly 50 of my body ratio.

Im very slim build as it is. I genuinely dont know if my proportions will look out. Im reading alot of threads about people with much lower leg ratios.

Thankyou for any advice.

Well, what does it look like?

Do you look long-legged, what about when you are standing on your toes?

I'd use wingspan rather than body ratio to determine if you'll look out of proportion or not.

My wingspan is around 174cm. I would say that my legs do look easonably long.

The other problem is im naturally skinny, which makes them look longer.

I worry most about the length of my femurs when im sitting in a chair i think. Is this something to worry about?
