Hi everyone I just did a rough armspan measurement with a yardstick and it came out at roughly 172-173 cm. Now unless I did something very wrong and it's really 185 cm I certainy have little (none) room for any height increase at all.
I stretched my arms with my back towards a wall and marked where both my middle fingers ended. Unreliable I know but I did my best to make it as precise as possible, was only looking for a rough estimate anyway. Unfortunately that measurment came out at 172 cm which seemed quite low but I can't reach the end of the yardstick when I fold it out to 180 cm so I think my arms might be quite short. Proportionally they look fine though certainly not long I have never thought of them as short either.
If I didn't do some major mistake, and I can't really see what that would be, my leg lenghtening journey is over before it began. Even if I'm off by 5 cm it's still too short to manage an increase in height. Did I do something wrong or is this it for me?
Did another rough estimate of sitting height and I must have done something whack because it came out at 98 cm at night and I don't think I measured from the real top of my head. Also might have tilted forward.
Okay so I had my mom measure me and we got 174 cm +- 1 cm. I'm afraid that's it for me, don't feel like LL or any height increase is an option for me considering my already short arms. Thanks for bearing with me and my questions.
Might send you a photo, thank you Taller. I won't do arm lenghtening that's just too much for me, don't know how long my pants are but they say EUR size 29 although I think they are too small actually bought them when I was 17 and I have grown since I guess. My arms look fine they end right under my crotch when I take a relaxed stance. Sort of like this guy but with shorter legs:

I'm fine with having arms that are a bit short but since I aim to lenghten at least 5 cm that would mean my wingspan end up at 10 cm less than my height, I think that will look unacceptable.
Measured sitting height by myself and wasn't very thourough it's probably somewhere between 95 to 105 cm
Interesting I'll try to make some lifts (won't pay for that crap) thanks for helping me out Taller you're a standup guy even online.
Wannabegiant is also cool obviously.
Trying to figure out if it's my shoulders, I am 67 cm from my middle finger to my armpit if anyone feel like measuring their arms it would be a favour.
