Title: Proportions question
Post by: hugzz123 on October 07, 2023, 06:31:02 PM

Hi All,

I stand at 173.4cm, with a wingspan of 176, and 29inch inseam. I think going by proportions I have a 1inch longer torso and 1 inch shorter legs.

I was thinking of getting a 2 inch increase to my tibias, meaning that my torso will be 1 inch short than average, and legs will be 1 inch longer than average.

Feel like this would be the best route, then my arms will only be off by an inch, and as I get older, my torso will be short, but my arms will get more proportional. And by that time I will be old anyway.

What do you guys think?

Above 84% tubs to femur has higher chance of arthritis…only downside

Makes sense,
Thank you!

Do you think it looks off, having a 2 inch long femur though?
