After I got over the fact that his mom is taller than his dad, and how he dwarfs BOTH of them, I realized that all his extra height comes from his legs. Or almost all of it. This guy would make Apo look proportional in comparison! The distance between the top of his speedo and the top of his mom's is almost equal to their total height difference. If we would see a picture of him from head to toe he definitely wouldn't look proportionate, but it would look "natural" since theres almost a 0% chance he did LL.
His arms are also short. The only mitigating factors are that he has pretty muscular legs and a wide torso. I'm starting to think that there's like a universal minimum sitting height of tall men--probably about 37 inches or 93cm--that anyone who has it can pull off a lot of LL and become a leggy, but still reasonable looking tall guy.
Hold your breath and look at this giant guy's proportions
well, my sitting height is slightly more than 37 inches, so I'm good.
96cm or 38 inches of sitting height checking in! My sitting height at 178/179 is indisputably higher than that of my 187-188CM friend. He has much longer arms than I, though.
Yeah tall men (190+) usually gain a lot of height from their legs and even though their arms are basically always longer than shorter men they don't look it because their huge size make their arms look small anyway.
My uncle is 195CM and looks like he's lengthened his legs 6-7CM. When we had a family dinner at new years eve I remember he was only 1-3CM taller than me sitting down but his frame dwarfs me. His shoulders, hands and everything else is intimidatingly big.
I don't think long legs is much of a problem at all if you've got the width plus arm lenght to carry it off -unfortunately I don't.
I've got plenty of width, but not a lot of arm length. I'd be cool if I lengthened to humerus 5 c. Per arm, though, with the guichet nail.
That's what I've been saying all along. Proportions don't matter that much.

Why do you prefer internal AL over external?
I know scarring is an issue but can't scars be removed by a plastic surgeon?

The Guichet nail is faster, so I can return to powerlifting quicker.
internal for humerus is suicide.
ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE INFATUATED WITH INTERNALS CANT WORK THIS OUT,
people seem to think that magically everything turns to gold when you do ll if you spend 100k and get internals.
people need to use their brains.

The humerus is one of the easiest bones to lengthen. When it comes to forearms, it shouldn't even be attempted doing so.
