Guys, I just found some relatively upsetting statistics regarding ape index (wingspan/height)
It turns out there was a study done that found the average ratio to be 1.05-1.06 / 1 and the average ape index was ~+9CM
This is upsetting me and crushing my hopes and expectations a bit, especially cause my ratio is only 1.01/1.

Ok, I'm an interesting case. I'm going to try glucosamine and inversion over the summer to attempt to hit 5' 10", in which case I well never worry about my height again.
If it doesn't work, I would consider CLL up to 5' 11", or roughly 5CM
In an overwhelming majority of the subjects (97.8%), the arm span exceeded height by a mean of 9.66 cm and 8.09 cm in male and female subjects respectively
*Gulp*
This seriously stinks

I suppose you are right, but a wingspan only slightly below height would still look normal. Rocky Marciano (-3 inch ape index) looked very disproportionate to me
I was just shocked and upset that my ape index ratio wasn't that great.
