How are my proportions after a hypothetical 20 cm lengthening?

Edit Post

I don't plan on doing 20 cm of lengthening. It is my fantasy, however, to do that much. How would I look after a hypothetical 20 cm of lengthening (10 cm on my tibias and 10 cm on my femurs)?

I can tell the arms a little short. My wingspan is only 174 cm, while me at a projected 20 cm of lengthening would have me at 189 cm. Of course, in my fantasy world of leg lengthening where I can do 4 inches per segment without losing athletic ability, I could also do 6 cm of arm lengthening per humerus, which would put my wingspan at 186 cm.

The second picture is the max lengthening possible in terms of recovering full functionality (as stated by Dr. Paley and others), which is 14.5-15 cm.

Like you said, it's too much. 10 CM (5+5) would look good on you, though.

My sitting height ratio would be about 0.5, which is normal. Are you referring to arm length?

Hey Red

Do what makes you happy dude! 

I am sold on 14cm as my dream gain. 7 per segment.

Others have suggested 6cm max. So I am doing 6 and if at that point the doc says its ok I will push to 7. Same with the other segment.

If you are aware of the wingspan issue  possible complications and athletic  limitations and after a good 6 months of thinking it over you still want to do it then all the best bud!

The only athletic limitations i'm worried about is muscular strength and power. I could honestly care less about running or all of the acrobatic stuff Sweden does lol.

Although, Dr. Paley seems to think full (or near full) athletic recovery is possible with 7 cm on the tibias and 8 cm on the femurs; i've seen other doctors with similar recommendations, so that's all good.

Yeah, it's is my dream to be at least 6'0. I'd fkING LOVE to be 6'2, but, unfortunately, we don't all get exactly what we want.

You'll look fine for your shredded frame, nobody will question your proportions but us.

you dont wanna lengthen the humerus too much otherwise it makes your forearm look ridiculously short

It would probably only be by about 3-4 cm on each side. That would put my wingspan at a total of 182 cm.

Lol thanks man!

Hit the gym, not because of fat, I could care less, but because your arms look even smaller when u're fat, good luck, btw your torso could handle it
