Ideal Humerus to Forearm ratio?

Edit Post

In Bodybuilding forums, it seems that most of the tall "brahhss" have forearms pf about 13" and biceps pf 16.5" and such, in other words, ratios of 5:4 and 7:6. My forearm is 9" long and my humerus is around 11.5" long as well so you can say I have a normal ratio, yet I have short arms that do not let me do LL that easily. So, what do you think about it? Is the ratio important? I have a friend who is around 5'8" and his forearms are probably around 10" or a little bit less, but has some long ass humerus that compensate to his wingspan. Yet he doesn't seem unproportionate.

Are the numbers you're getting from those forums arm circumference rather than length?

I don't have exact math but some men have longer forearms,hands, and fingers while women seem to have longer humerus I know someone who is almost a midget yet her humerus is just half an inch shorter than mine.

My humerus is longer than my forearm by around 3CM. It honestly doesn't look bad at all.

My forearms are longer by an inch or so (eye percent not measured).

Higher Prenatal Testosterone shorten the humerus. This means the more you lengthen your humerus the more feminine your arms will look. They would probably look like this after 1-2cm of lengthening on each humerus, I recommend against Arm Lengthening until forearm lengthening is safe.

I won't mind having more feminine arms tho, my only actual concern is sitting height.

you wouldnt mind your arms looking even more extreme than his with 2 more cm on his humerus imagine how that would look, thats how yours would look if you lengthened 1-2cm never mind 3-4, trust me dont do it unless you want body dysmorphic disorder
