Personally, I think it's anywhere from 5'6-5'9. At those heights if you get 8cm on femurs you'd be jumping 40 percentiles in height. From 5'8 -> 5'11 you'd go from being taller than 35% of guys to 78% of guys which is a massive change just on paper.

But to each their own. People who are 6'1 did it in my clinic and were happy with the results. It's for ANYONE who has the money to do it, knows how tough the 8 month journey will be, did their research, and think it's all worth it for 3 inch femur gains.

Agreed, I don't really criticize anybody of any height doing LL - whatever makes them happy right?
But as a side note, I do think there absolutely is truth to the concept of diminishing returns the further away from average height you get. For example, based off of some random ass height percentile calculator I googled, 5'2 -> 5'5 you'd be going from 0.5 percentile to 7th percentile. Same with a guy going from 6'1 -> 6'4 you'd only be jumping 6 percentiles.
It's literally backed up by objective statistical data that LL gives more value closer to average heights particularly because height is relative. If you can jump the whole height bell curve with LL you've just secured confidence about your height for your entire life.

That's because height is relative. 5'7-5'9 is technically still considered below average in western culture and anyone around these heights would still experience height discrimination. Most people who are saying it's crazy are probably on the very short side and don't realize the brutal truth that it's still bad even at the 20th-45th percentile range. Literally just look at how people mention the heights of Tom Cruise and Tom Hardy all the time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing LL at heights of 5'7-5'9; this isn't the height oppression olympics.
