Hey guys! I was wondering if there is anything I can do about my proportions.
My height is 175.5cm/5"9
My wingspan is 194cm/6"4.
My floor inseam is 89.5cm/35 inches.
My weight is 80kg/176 lbs

Notes: I do not have malfrans or testosterone deficiency disorders. I am rather muscular and in very good health.

I'm turning 18 in a few weeks I thought I would even out as this my body proportions for a few months now, should i do limb shortening or would my torso possibly even out?

My sitting height is 84cm*

Nothing wrong with having a wingspan much higher than your height (if you measured everything correctly). The opposite is more worrying for people.

Those are your natural proportions and you're not short. I don't see why you should do LL when you probably have more important things to worry about.

Seeing your edit, and getting clearer picture now:

84 / 175.5 = 0.478

That makes your sitting height ratio about 0.48. It's about 2 standard deviations below the mean for people of Dutch ancestry, but still within the normal distribution of that population. It's above average if you are an Aboriginal Australian. It's all still within the normal human variation range.

The torso is also supposedly (based on what I've read; I haven't independently looked this up before) among the last body parts to keep growing in men, so your SHR should only get closer to the mean of people of Northern European extraction, if that's what you're worried about.

Either way, don't even bother thinking about this. You're not even 18 yet.

Your body is fine, and you're not even totally done growing yet.

are you sure you measured you sitting height correctly? You actually need to sit on a stool or something. not on the floor
