hmm from what ive seen thats a bit short or a lot short. i saw guys with 90+ of this values shorter than me.
I wouldn’t lengthen unless you’re doing at least 5cm, and I personally think an ape index of -5cm or worse to look extremely bad, especially since you derive a lot of it in your shoulders and not arm length. You’d look pretty bad at any level of lengthening and you’re already tall. It’s a really easy “no” from me.

damn that sucks to hear.
If im gonna have an ape index of -2.0" though that doesnt seem to bad to me considering all these basketball players have around the same index but ofcourse are taller and they still look human.

Kelly Olynyk 7' 0" 6' 10" -2.0"
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 6' 8" 6' 5" -3.0"

He also has really narrow shoulders, you have broad shoulders. Wingspan doesn’t into account the breadth of the shoulders, so someone with a -3 index and shoulders 1-2 inches narrower than someone else with -3 and broad shoulders could look super normal. Going beyond -2 ape index only really looks good IMO on some basketball players because they all seem to have lanky (read: small for size) shoulders. Someone like Henry Cavill probably has -1 or -2 and he barely looks normal because it’s all in the shoulders.
I don’t get it man, you’ve built up a great body and you’re gonna atrophy it to go from 96th to 99th percentile height? Just wear insoles lol, I wear them to be 5’11 and I feel taller than 80-90% of people around me. If you were 5’10 or something I would say go for it but you’re already at the height of most James Bond actors

i see your point, then arm lengthening too since its way easier and safer. Personally i dont like insoles, infact i dont like athletic shoes that have a 1 inch sole. I want to feel that anything related to my height comes from me and only me, cause if i wear insoles and go to 6ft3 and stand next to a guy whos 6ft3, inside il know hes taller and im frauding. I hate frauding my self.

Are you saying you want LL and arm lengthening. I don’t recommend doing both LL and arm lengthening.

maybe one day. Probs only legs but will see.
Btw do u really fit in a car with 103 sitting height.

Yeah but its weird, if i try and have perfect posture, shoulders back and neck back and forward i sit so high i feel weird, like a fake feeling of superiority in a sense but then my legs are normal sizedish and i get out of the car and im shorter than i look id be. I remember one time i was driving and next to me was a friends of mine whos 5ft9 and we both tried to have perfect posture as a joke and i sat so much higher than him we both burst into laughter, for context he has a short torso and long legs relative to his height.
