10 cm on my tibias?

Quote from: ReadRothbard on September 30, 2014, 01:36:00 AMI have very short legs and an extremely large, broad-shouldered, long upper body (2 inches longer than the average 5'10 man). Here is a picture of me with 10 cm added to both the tibias and femurs (20 cm total).

So I don't think proportions will be a problem (I could care less about arm length); I'm just wondering about athletic ability.

No your torso is short and you are not broad shouldered, just fat and stocky. Want proof? stand on a stool and mask your legs..Not so broad now are ya.
Also your wingspan is borderline midget i see a max increase of 6 cm before you start to look unproportional.

There is do much more to it than just bones and muscles.

It's frightening to see individuals totaly believe that 10cm is easy or that they wiLL Forumully recover. Christ!!

Being stronger after LL doesn't say more than the actual person can push more weights at the gym. Anyone can do that but jumping high or doing backflips is something different which he will never be able to do again.

To kick fast is also impossible after LL or to do a spinning round kick bc your longer leg breaks up the speed when you're spinning.

Not that you need to be able to do this, but 10cm is devastating for your body. It will also look very weird.

You might be right. My proportions can handle it, but it might be too much to recover from. I think I'll just go for about 7.5 cm on my femurs, then another 7.5 on my tibias to reach just under 6'1.

No offense, buddy, but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. First off, my torso is huge: I have a 98 cm sitting height (there average 5'9 man has a 91 cm sitting height). Second, I have a 23-24 inch shoulder breadth--and the average man has a 18 inch shoulder breadth. Third, I'm 11.6% bodyfat (Bod Pod tested), so I'm nowhere close to fat). Fourth and finally, my wingspan is 68 inches (about 1.5 inches more than my height), which is not "borderline midget" in any sense of the word.

i don't want to offend you, but your torso look short, and you also look obese...
The picture make you look disproportionate, maybe if you lost weigh you would look better...

You have a high sitting height because you are fat. And probably that Bod Pod was broken, because you are way toooo fat for 11.6% bodyfat and you won't be really able to lengthen too much because you have very short arms (your fingers aren't even close to your knees), maybe you can get away with 4-5cm but after that you will look like T-Rex.

im confused. you said you were a stripper? are you sure you were not just pretending to be a stripper because its the internet?

also I don't want to offend you. but you are a little chunky, and your arms and upper body do not look long. perhaps if you take a different photo we can see better. take the photo in underwear only.

I can see you have got some muscles but you also have a lot of body fat.

sitting height means nothing. fat but = massive sitting height.

Oh lol you were going off the picture. Nah, that's an old picture from when I was bulking for a powerlifting contest. I was 26% bodyfat then.

No it doesn't. There is a golden ratio measurement from my feet to navel compared to my navel to head.

You should upload an up to date picture. You don't look anything like a male stripper in the one that you posted earlier, I must say. Just blur your face and nobody will have a clue who you are.

I guess I could. I might upload one tomorrow; I can't right now, because I'm in the gym.

Here is actually an older picture of me back in June:
