Long legs, where do you draw the line?

Edit Post

long tibias are much more attractive

also gives the illusion of being even taller than you really are.. function wise, doubt it matters much

Edit Post

Long tibias look way better than long femurs imo, function wise long femurs seem to be advantegous in comparison to long tibiae.
Did anyone ever do both segments, but therefore less in each one? Like 4cm's femur and 3,2 tibiae? This way you could still keep the 0,8 ratio and have rather proportional legs as well. At least more proportionale than doing the same amount on one segment.

Having seen many LL before and after pictures longer tibias look better than having longer femurs however having longer femurs increase your stride length, tibias shorten it. Extreme lengthening's never look good on either section.

Yes longer femur is definitely superior to longer tibias especially when you have minor lifts inside, IMO, example:

11CM on femurs:



Before:


And after:


I haven't formed a concrete opinion on the matter, but I think tibial LL generally looks better until 6CM and, for lengths greater than that, femoral LL looks better and more natural.

Here's another 11CM pic. It's not too bad in my opinion:



Here's the only proportionally nice case of 10CM on tibae that I've seen (strugglinghard):

Nice pics. 11 cm is an overkill in just one segment, but I can't say he looks bad.

his femues make his tibias look very short... not a nice aesthetic look..

longer tibias relative to femurs gives the illusion of added height

THUS MINOR SHOELIFTS!!!!

Who was his surgeon?
Where is the source of this information?
How about his recovèry?
I thinnk, he looks nice
But my plan is only 6 cm femur 4cm tibia

he doesn't look nice at all in the last photo
