Title: Height and inseam
Post by: kunta kinte on August 23, 2014, 12:21:49 AM
Hi guys, I wanna know how tall are you and how long is your inseam from croch to the ground(not your pant inseam as it varies depending on the type of pants that you wear). It doesn't matter if you've done the surgery already or not, just type down your stats as they are now not before the surgery.

Also, what do you think is the ideal percentage of your inseam in relation to your height, 46, 47, 48, . . . ? Thanks guys  ;D

I am 5'6" and my measurement from crotch to floor is 30.5 inches.

The ratio is about 46%.  I don't know what the ideal ratio should be because I usually considered only the sitting height to total height ratio.  But 50% after LL for me seems like it would be good.

Thank you for your input Blackhawk.

My inseam is about 46% as well and I do agree that 50% is ideal, but in my case to achieve that percentage I would have to lengthen 5inches, at that point my height would be 4 inches greater than my armspan wich is just not a good look IMO.

Mine is also around 46%. Currently, I haven't had LL yet. I hope to have 48% or 49% after LL.

I wonder if people find some basketball players disproportionate with their wingspan being greater than height for more than 8 inches .

Or I guess it still follows the rule 'the biggest the best'.

I dont, long arms look good but short arms do not. Same thing with big heads, they dont necessarily look better, but I would much rather have bigger had like ryan gooslin then a smaller one, but thats just one example.

He has a big head?

Heads are proportionate to height by the way, you don't want a big one being 170cm tall, you'll look like a kid. Your comparison is invalid anyway.

Doesn't make much sense.

Of course long arms look better than short arms. Unless you enjoy looking like a T-Rex.

Congrats on that. You will still look retarded with short arms.

Long, strong arms look very masculine in my opinion, while short arms look unnatural to me at 5-10CM wingspan bellow height.

We can all agree that too long arms look weird just like short ones, tough I would much rather have freakishly long arms than 10 below wingspan. Can we get back on topic guys?

Btw people talking about head size, you know that head circumference does not vary significantly at all between full grown humans right? even women have pretty much the same size of heads as men. the difference is a few cm which translates to even less difference in diameter of the head.

I guess people have this perception because of angles in photos, as well as some people having bigger jaws with more fat in their face etc, this makes the face bigger but the actual bone structure of head/skull still doesnt vary much.

I wonder is this data real? My heads like 26cm tall and 60cm in circumference, damn I feel huge now

Holy sh*t, now I understand why I'm so smart!

My head is 60 cm in cimcurference and 2 of my taller friends have the same circumference as me, I know this because we all wear the same brand helmets(got them together on a sweet deal) and we all wear a large(L=59-60cm, arai helmets in this case) and the fit is snug as it should be.

Medium helmet is 57-58cm so from medium to large you only have a 3cm gap(lets say 4 just to be safe), and that should cover anywhere from 170(below that, you're typically going to be a small in my experience) to id say 191-2max height range(anyone above that is generaly going to go woth an X or a double X). I'm talking about mens head sizes here, not to be mistaken with females tough females heads are not that much different.
