Deciding on proportions

Edit Post

I didn't see the proportions section of the forum until now.

I am currently just under 68". I would like to add up to the maximum of 14.5 cm. This would make me just under 74" or 6'2".

My wingspan is currently 70" so I would be just under 4" shorter in arm length than height. I am currently 39" to the widest part of the pelvis and 21.25" knee height.

I am not worried about short arms as I don't think it would be noticeable, but I want to keep as normal proportions as possible between tibia and femur and upper body.

What is your suggestion of how much to add and where?

2) 14.5 cm is  a lot of lengthening even on two segments.

3) 4" over your wingspan will be noticeable imo. You'll be good at 5'10" +. Save yourself the potential misery of bad proportions and don't go more than a couple of inches over your wingspan- say to 6'0" tops.

Can you suggest how much of that should be tibia versus femur?

You might be able to eye it a bit. My tibia seems to be pretty short so I think I'll be lengthening my tibia.

Most people have a naturally longer femur than tibia. An idea of what an average lengthening might look like is, say, 4 cm on your tibia and 6 on your femur.

There's a CLL doctor here in orlandoflorida. I will make an appointment and ask his opinion. I've been talking to a doctor in Vietnam and he says the proportions would be okay. But I'll get different opinions.

The CLL doctor in my home town only does a maximum of 4 inches total. And he wants $700 just for initial visit. That's too much for me to pay when I know I won't be using him anyway.

So did they ever come out with the data?
