Even though the saying we are all proportionate naturally is true to an extent, the main reason that is true is because human proprotions vary a lot naturally and that is why we think a lot of different proportions look natural, at least that is my opinion.
This thread has been done a lot before but i made a new one to highlight a great example of a high level athlete (kickboxer in this case) who has very long legs.
Badr Hari: 198 cm tall
especially in that last pic he easily looks like he could have been an LL patient (but of course if i didnt know about LL i would never notice he had a very short torso even)
But obviously since he is a high level kickboxer since an early age with great agility and flexibility, there is no way this guy did LL.
So do you guys think he looks disproportional?

Everything on him is taller than the shorter guy.
It only looks like that bc of the clothes in the 3d pic
not really, and the small difference in upper body height between the two kickboxers is way less than the difference in leg length in either case.
Badr hari is looking down while the other guy is looking up, so there probably is a small height difference in their necks/heads, but if you measure from their waistline to the shoulders where the neck starts, it is pretty much the same height there.
Quote from: Tall on January 22, 2014, 12:06:42 AMBadr Hari does have very long arms though... Almost no one doing LL can have those arms without subsequent AL. His hands and feet are also huge. His torso does look small to me though. I wonder what his sitting height is.
good point, that is true, although my thread was simply to point out that the height ratio between torso and legs vary a lot between individuals. arm length is more important in looking proportional after doing LL.

Don't bother trying to convince them; it's all distorted thinking in their heads impervious to rational arguments and examples. 
haha yeah you are probably right about that
