Picture of me

So I posted a pic on Imgur as suggested. I was wondering if someone could whip up a mockup pic for me? 5cm Fib, 4cm tib.

Hi Deads

You have a great muscle and a good upper body! dude!
I think if you do ll within 10 cm on two segments or 7 cm on one segment (especially femurs), you will look great. 
Go for it!

This pic seems to have been taken from your upper body area and makes your legs look short. If this were your actual body, you could do 4 inches.

Awesome muscles by the way. I envy you.

At what level and angle was this picture taken at Deads? The best position to place a camera for this sort of thing would be at the waist level area to show a balance between legs and torso.

But based on the pics you do have a slight (emphasis on slight) long torso compared to your legs. At the same time your broad shoulders certainly help your image out as it won't make you look like a lanky dude. It makes it seem like your legs could handle a good amount of lengthening. But, when it comes to your arms I'm not to sure. Again all subjective, but in this picture your upper body certainly looks like it can handle LL.

Ghostfish; Thanks Ghost the picture actually makes my chest look flatter than it actually is. But based on my shoulders and back I feel like I could handle the 10cm too. Initially I was going to lengthen 5.5 fib and 4.5 tib.. Although for recovery reasons I'm leaning more towards 9cm (5cm fib and 4cm tib) so that I can stay at within the 5cm safe range for the fibs and keep my tibs on the lower end of the scale also.

Penguinn: I had my girlfriend get on her knees......... AND TAKE A PICTURE level with my crotch/hip area. We also made sure that the camera was facing straight on and wasn't at any angles. Believe it or not it is the most accurate depiction of my body. I've been told in the past I have short stumpy legs for my body.

Alu: yes definitely taken at hip height with no angles. My broad shoulders and back along with the slightly longer torso really give the perception that my legs are short and stumpy... When I'm at the gym and I catch a glance of myself in the mirror I feel like my height doesn't match my width.

Torso length is great for LL. Arm length is the major concern.

I took Doingitforme's advice and stood on something 9 cm tall.. My arms looked fine with the extra height.. Because everything else seems built for the extra height, the overall perception is good.

I think you will look great after 9 cm. Your proportions look like mine prior to my LL, and I only gained 8 cm. Your legs do look short and stumpy like mine used to be. They will look better after LL in my opinion. Also, instead of deciding your lengthening amount beforehand, just play it by the ear when you are actually lengthening. Your body will tell you when you are starting to get too tight. For me, I noticed it around the 5 cm mark on femurs. It could be different for you. Your safe range is what your body tells you it is. I noticed that I passed the safe range when my flexibility took a nosedive at around 6 cm. That's around the point where I knew that I probably did long term/permanent damage to my athleticism/flexibility. But, a lot of my flexibility did return to me 5 months post-op. So I do hold some hope that I could at least do some sports, even if I'm not going to be as good at it as I used to be.

I have to ask you then mate, disregarding the obvious fact that it's all subjective and not to get to caught up in a number game; what is your true inseam length?

77cm
