Title: short torso how much should i lengthen my legs?
Post by: BabyBaron on September 02, 2018, 08:04:42 AM
I'm 171 cm, I want at least 5'9 -5'10 (175-178) but what worries me is my already long legs and small/short torso making my overall stature disproportional.
My inseam is 80 cm, my height at night is 171 cm, the ratio is slightly above average? 46.8%. When I look in the mirror, my body doesn't really match my legs. Could lifting to increase my torso size helps to make it more proportional? And what is the safe point for the length of lengthening?

measure your sitting height . inseam is really inaccurate.

Agree if your sitting height is 88cm-90+ you can get to 5’10-5’11

It sounds like you have long legs/limbs already to be fair here’s a list of sitting height as far as I’m aware.

5’7-5’9=85-89 on average but can be more or less
5’10-6’0=88-92 on average but can be more or less
6’0-6’2=94-98 on average but can be more or less

Is that true

imo sitting height it is not reliable, you can have fat or muscular gluteus,  btw is the same with wingspan because of variation in shoulder width

so more reliable data would be plain arm length and torso length  something like measure from the last vertebral (coccyx)  or tail bone to top of the head

I remeasured my sitting height and it' actually either 86 cm or above. It's abit hard to measure it accurately, but the first measure was on a puffy curvy chair, now that i've remeasured it on a wooden chair, the result seems reasonable, 86 cm or so.

with this, I think I will try 5'10 max if not, 5'9.

I’d seriously try to get someone else to help you measure your sitting height because you’ve given 3 different answers and personally if you’d said you were like 1cm off I’d believe you but you apparently got 3 cm off so maybe that is your sitting height no problem but seriously get some else’s help with this to be accurate

you are in the media does not have long or short legs, has no short or long torso,
with 80cm of sewing you are in 46; 54 which is average
If you make 7cm
will remain
87cm sewing to 178cm high
the ratio will be 48:52 that yes is the relationship of long legs and short torso

I don’t know how the ratio thing works but could you help me out I have a 94-95 cm sitting height and would love to be 6’1-6’2 how would that work with ratios

the ratio is made by the proportion of the upper body (torso + neck and head) and the lower part (legs)
the inseam is the height of the floor to the base of the hip (in a simple way it is the sewing of the tight pants in the bag but it should not be used because it does not have precision).
if you find it difficult to measure the inseam, take your seat height, sit on a chair leaning against the wall with a good posture and ask someone to set the height, deduct the height of the chair to get only your height seated,
I will use my measure to give an example:
sitting height = 95cm
total height = 178cm
inseam = 178-95 = 83cm
now the ratio is a percentage using a basic 3 rule
178 --- 100%
83 ------ X           
 83 * 100/178 = 46.62%
I will round to 46% to get simpler then legs: torso is 46%: 54%
the 54% is simply the subtraction of the legs by 100% (46-100 = 54%)
keeping in mind that a ratio close to 50:50 is considered long legs
I hope it helped you

Can I help you figure it out but I need to know what your total height is ??


sitting height = 95cm
total height = ?? cm

Total height is 177.7 basically 5’10 sitting height is 95 cm but could be 96 because I took another measurement today and it ended up at that
