Long legs, where do you draw the line?

why you cant see the reality? this guy has super long femurs that look really bad. I havent seen a person with that proportions in my life . show this photo to any person that isnt obsesed with height , and all of them will say the same as me. His proportions are really unnatural and weird.

Remember that any of us would similar if we lengthened 7CM and wore some thick boots.

Anyway, could you post a picture of an ll patient that has good proportions -not just "ok"?

OBG did 6CM, what about the other guy?

He does seem to have quite long arms.

i think that Oldiebutgoldie looks fine, and the last one who did tibias look fine too

The last guy is Calic. He gained a little over 7 CM. He said he went from 5'7 to almost 5'11 in the morning. His armspan is 5'11.

The pic of the second guy shows how important arm length is. Long arms can make a guy look proportional at various heights because even with a short torso, long arms will match long legs post lengthening.

I saw a guy at the gym standing on an 7 inch platform behind some equipment (couldn't see below his knees), and I said to myself that he could definitely pull off being 6' 1" due to his gorilla arms (he was probably 5' 8", 5' 9")

the fact is, you won't have an aesthetically proportional body with a highly negative ape index. Long legs and short arms are just not a good combo, I'm sorry. Long legs, long arms, and short torso is not that bad

stop use the word aesthetic you seem pretentious and are only using it because you watched some zeez clips on youtube. cringe everytime i hear people use that word. As if you are aware... anyway i think that if you can pull of rocky marciano proportions you will be just fine.

 :'(I don't think anyone has actually attempted to directly answer the question: "long legs, where do you draw the line?", so I'll throw in my two cents in a formulaic manner:

1. Do not exceed a 50% cycling inseam to height ratio (the average is around 46.5%)
2. Do not exceed a -2 inch ape index (the average ape index is +9 CM,)


That's where you draw the line IMO, as you will most likely stay in the realm of normalcy if you follow those general guidelines.
