Motivation Leg length

Edit Post

This is Simeon Panda 6'1" (185 cm), a famous bodybuilder I think that he has very long legs and if someone smaller would do lengthening would resemble something like that or not? The thing here is that he seems to have a small torso, but very worked.


sorry for this pic but was the best that I could find of him full body length. The legs ends in where the towel ends :p, if you didn't noticed.

he has small torso but really long arms

Legs are very big too but this shows that you can have diferent proportions and still be normal like him, long limbs and small torso. In the end if you put some mass on it you will look good  .

Wingspan is the most limiting factor. Rocky Marciano was 5' 11" with a 5' 8" wingspan, and it looked kinda weird. Very rare to have a negative ape index. Max Holloway is a UFC fighter with a negative ape index (I inch). I think -1 inch is the lowest someone can go without looking "off"

In that you are right but you can do a simple 1" or 2" on each humerus that the length diference will dissapear

The good news about wingspan though, is that it actually looks better aesthetically (IMO) the closer it is to 1:1 ratio. Look at the UFC fighters Ryan Bader and Jon Jones. I would say that Ryan Bader (1:1) has a bettere physique because his arms aren't too long.

Since many lengtheners have a positive ape index, it actually means that they might have more aesthetically pleasing proportions it they can get the ratio closer to 1:1

Like the Wingspan = to the current Height?

His arms are normal though and ours won't be if we lengthen more than maybe 7CM

Yes if you increase your size more than your wingspan, then the next step to improve your proportions is to do a arm lengthening.

just use sites that have 50th 60th and so on percentiles of sitting height or arm length or anything like that if your worried about proportions. id say if your sitting height is below 50th percentile then you wont wanna lengthen to more than 75th percentile height regardless of how long your arms are.
