I have screwed up proportions (or nearly ideal ones?)

Quote from: LittleWhiteMan on January 03, 2015, 11:00:43 PMWell my wingspan is around 5'3"... I am 5'1" tall, my sitting height is 31 inches long, my hands are 6.7 inches long, forearms are 9 inches long and my biceps (humerus) are around 11 inches long... so well, assuming all of this I am not considering LL anymore unless I hit a last lumbar spurt (as mentioned before). I don't want to look like a t-rex or some sort of monster with long legs being just 170 cm tall so... what are your thoughts on all of this? Don't tell me "just go for it f**k proportions" because I think that proportions are more important than height... and even if I lengthen a bit (which would be ok), my options are limited because if much I can only lengthen 3 inches to be 49% (sitting height:height), which would still seem creepy...

Yeah bro, if you're cool with posting pics try doing some mockups or post some pictures of your proportions to open suggestions.

The limit is a 47% sitting height for supposedly "normal" proportions.

I keep hearing this but when I look at the mock ups I honestly wouldnt know the guy did anything at all if I saw him on the street.

I mean if you add like a foot to your height your arms might T Rex but I wonder how much we are looking for it an analyzing it. What we should do is a focus group.

Go do mock ups then show them to an unsuspecting group of same age women and men and tell them to describe the photo.

See if you get even one who says his arms are too short for him.  Its a good idea actually.

so 87cm sitting height at 185cm is in normal range?    , sounds like BS to me. the 50th percentile sitting height is 93cm, but somehow 87cm (5th percentile sitting height) sitting height is normal for 90th percentile height.

Yeah, that can be normal. The range for "normal" sitting heights is pretty wide. 47% would be just short of a basketball player, and the higher range, 54-55% or so, would be like Scott Mendelson.

47% is not normal.

Readrothbard, post some mock ups of you at 202cms tall.  It won't look normal, even without considering arm span.

Outgrown what's your SH and arm span? I've got the same size hands & feet as you but I always thought my hands would look ridiculous small at my goal height of 5'8 or roughly 174cm. Has anyone ever commented on them at your height?  I'm 5'3 at the moment with Arm span of 169cm

I agree 47% isn't "normal" but there are individuals out there with those natural proportions. When I'm done I'll be at 47 and I believe with the right workout and clothes you won't cause people to point and state at you like some freak. At the end of the day I prefer height over having a "normal" ratio

This is me at about 6'6 or so (no arm lengthening):

Oddly enough... With a different shirt and thinner thighs it wouldn't look that insane. Never thought I'd say that
