Proportions for a 6-7 cm femoral lengthening?

Enjoy the pic xx

It seems like my height is a bit less than I thought it was- about 173 morning and 172.5 evening. Let's round up to 5'8.

My wingspan is a bit longer. About 177.5 cm.

If I lengthen 5 cm I'll be as tall as my wingspan. If I lengthen 6 or up to 7.5 I'll only go about an inch over it. I'd quite like to get to 179-180 cm but it's obviously not necessary. I don't want to get greedy and lengthen too much either.

The downside is I already have quite long legs, 82-83 cm inseam right down from the tip of my groin to the floor. But I think they're not too long, I can pull off even 7.5 cm quite comfortably with those I think.

Hi Jack, I am unable to view the image you posted. Could you please re-upload it and link it again?

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for your reply. I'll upload another pic and see if it works.

It misses out the top couple of inches of my head but that's about as good as I could get it.

I appreciate that you are being sensible in the length you are considering. I agree, you do have long legs but they appear to be well balanced proportionally between your tibia and femur, meaning I would agree in your choice of femoral lengthening.

Let's figure out your figures for lengthening.

Your current inseam is approximately 48% of your total height. (83/173)

With 6CM on your femurs, your inseam would be approximately 49.7% of your total height. (89/179)

I would not recommend lengthening anymore which would result in going above 50%. Please consider doing the more conservative 6CM on femurs for safety and proportions.

Thanks. I was most likely considering 5-6.5 cm anyway.

I wonder what's your sitting height.

With a wide degree of inaccuracy, 126 cm

How the hell you measured that up?

Sitting down.

Is that a crazy number or something?
