5'8" looking to achieve 6'1" (w/ mock-up)

Edit Post

I stand currently at 5'8" on the left and my goal is a 5 inch increase to 6'1" like I've mocked up on the right.

How does it look? Are the proportions alright? How much should I do on femur vs. tibia?  Tell me what you think.



STATS:

(Current) Height: 5'8"
Weight: 170lbs
Wingspan: 6'2"
Sitting Height: 2'11" (35 inches)
Shoe Size: 10.5
Waist: 31"
Shoulders: 47"
Chest: 38"

Well you don't look suspect to me, nor any normal human I'd think. 
Ignore the incoming goofy mockup trolls and go for it. Imo 7cm femur Stryde seems to be doable, then add a 5cm tibias as tibias seems to be more problematic, giving you 12 cm total.

173cm(5'+12cm= 185cm(6'1).

I have done a lot of research on proportions on the net and from my own life experiences....so i think i can gv u a pretty decent insight on this btw i am also same height as u....and as per the numbers u have put on and the pic..i wld say u don't look super weird but also not a perfectly proportioned 6'1 guy..so i wld say yes it is doable but i have to tell u that if u do it thn u have wear long size clothes at least M or preferably L or XL and try to wear ur pants a bit down and don't wear super skinny jeans and u also need to make ur upper body wider through working out to avoid giving a lanky appearence....i will give u some examples of individuals with long legs and very short torsos....simeon panda( 6'1 aesthetic bodybuilder),jack hermansson( 6'1 UFC mma fighter 46' legs),hugh jackman( 6'2 medium sized torso long legged actor),bogdan__bondar(5'11 aesthetic muscular instagrammer),alessio di chirico(6' UFC mma fighter 45' legs),reymont edmonds(6'2 men's physique winner) btw all of this guys have long arms....now there are plenty of guys out there with out of the avg. proportions but in the end u gotta do with whtever u got r8.

Forgive me, I'm new and don't quite understand how formatting replies should go.

@Tokito_Ohma

Thanks for the tips.

@Kal el

Thanks a lot for this!  I was planning on bulking up best I could.  If I have any last-minute hesitations, I could always just stick to 5'11" or 6ft instead of the full 6'1".

@V

Yeah, I find it hard to believe myself.  I knew they were long for my body, but I never realized just how long.  I've measured them over and over and over again, arms in T-pose, from middle finger fingertip to middle finger fingertip, and it's exactly 74 inches, 6'2".  Also, I have a fairly modest chest and shoulders length, so most of my wingspan is specifically from my arms.  This would explain why I was always unusually good at sports like basketball and volleyball for not really playing them all that much, haha.

Edit Post

I know a lot of people with a similar wingspan that is 5 - 7 inches more than height. It does look good to have it and is one thing I'll miss with leg lengthening.

Mock ups look slightly off, probably would do slightly less
