Title: Does anyone ever have longer tibias than femurs post LL? Problems?
Post by: vegeta24 on February 20, 2017, 05:40:58 AM

This is something I don't see discussed here a lot. So I've noticed some members have lengthened their tibia a few inches and haven't done anything on their femurs: isn't having a longer or equal to tibia to femur ratio bad? I'm 5'7 and I plan on doing 5 cm on Tibias, now thinking I should only do four.... Thoughts?

A perfect tibia:femur ratio is 0.8. Your tibias won't be equal to your femurs post-LL unless your current ratio is already 0.9 or something, which I highly doubt.
