I first noticed the issue as I wanted to be a pilot in the RAF and the measurements for knee and shin length etc. I fit the RAFs standards for but my sitting height was way way over.. Think it could be 980mm tops and I was way over the 1000mm mark.
It hadn't been such an issue for most things but I do feel like the fact my legs are so short is abit of an issue.. My stride length suffers as a result. For example when I sit in a car my seat going back far enough isn't issue but if I actually adopted a good posture my head is on the roof in almost and car (except a 4x4 I would think)
Not sure how it looks on the pictures but what I see is a disproportionate shape.. Maybe it's just in my head but I think I look a bit silly.. Most tall guys look rangy and I don't at all.
By the way my measurement is from groin to ankle bone not the floor. Not sure how others measure but that's how Taylor's do it..
To be honest I also have size 10 feet (I wear an 11 though) so my feet are small for my size and my hands are about average I think.
To be honest, and I know it's Probably controversial on here but I've looked a lot into the idea of taking growth hormones as they're known to help grow cartilage and make hands and feet bigger..
Also would be interested in the results from LL surgary and the use of HGH in recovery etc. As it's very important for bone density and repairing other bodily tissue but that's just my thoughts
Pablo, what is your problem? Is this just short man syndrome or are you just a knob in general..
My arms a short relative to my height but no one would call a 6ft4 wingspan short at all so yes my bench is going to be a weak point.
For starters the guys in the 350kg dears are usually the under 105kg strongmen I actually train with the 16th strongest man on the planet under 105kg a local lad called Mike. I also live a few miles from eddy hall and mark felix so have a good local area for strongmen.. I spend most of my time flipping tyres.. Perhaps I can get a better quality picture for you if your worried about my physique..

HGH can't help you once your plates are done growing.
As per your look, it's pronounced, but not cartoonnish (like a Johnny Bravo look). I would probably look at the ratio between your femurs and tibia; it would have to done via X-ray as that is the best means to do so. The reason is that I think you would have to lengthen your tibia for a better look.
yer that would be a good idea.. Might see if I can get an x Ray done then and find what it comes up with..
I know what your saying about the use of HGH post ephysel fusion but research does show the bones thicken and gain density. To me I would question if the bones would lengthen under 0g conditions.
But I was more thinking about it as a recovery aid really.
I was thinking femeral length but honestly after speaking to a few people tibial would maybe be better

Here's you next to Michael Phelps, a guy who is noted for having a long torso with short legs. Yes, your proportions are a little more off than his but not by much.
I wonder what it would be like after surgery i dont know if they will let you walk since you are a giant you may break the nails. you would need strong crutches 
Haha!! Not my best shot in the slightest but thanks for that.. Looking there I would say my thighs where a similar length and my tibs are the short ones.
May have to put a bit more effort into the next photo haha!!
I've done a bit of research and Apperantly the taller you are the better for LL but I think that's more how far you can push it maybe. I've a fair amount of weight pushing down on the floor really

That's right. A good rule of thumb for a maximum limit is 20% of the bone's original length.
By the way I love how British you sound just from the way you type.
