I'm just a slight stricter on my lengthening limits for proportions. I think 5 cm (2 inches), universally everyone (who isn't already a leggy model), can easily recover and look good. 3 inches is a stretch where most can handle, but a handful will look good. 4 inches is much less so.
Quote from: Deads on December 14, 2015, 11:23:19 PMThe LL guy looks taller.. Either way, he looks as though he definitely lengthened a lot... A lot more then the average 3-4 inches..... If you take LL lengthening to the extreme, then yes, you will look stupid no matter what. Most people can handle a max of 4inches, after that it begins crossing the line where there's no way around looking odd.... Whereas 4inches and below, you can look a little odd (or even completely fine), but not enough to be called out on it.. These 'little' discrepancies are too petty to be concerned about, especially since proportions vary naturally anyway. So, proportions for people lengthening 4inches or under, really need not to be concerned.
He went from 168 to 178 If I remember correctly. Either way he didn't do much more than 10cm's. I think you may have underedtimated the importance of porportions. I don't think that you can look normal after 10cm's. Someone posted videos of a guy who did 10cm's with paley and he looked weird too (much better than this guy though).

That guy did 4 inches.

Wow. He looks like after 4 inches. I'm doing 9cm haha... It would be good to get a better picture of him as it isn't the best, but it just reinforces that you have to take a holistic approach when it comes to proportions.... I would never lengthen any lower then for a total of 3inches (meaning it can be lower over two portions for a total of 3 inches). Anything lower isn't noticeable enough for me.. Anything more then 4 inches is going to be bad for recovery and proportions.
Rather than mock ups I think the real test of proportions is how you look next to people naturally that height after you've had LL. As that is what the general public will use as a comparison point, not ratios and torso to leg length etc. And its when people are compared to the nattys that it becomes obvious they look weird.
Now surely there must be a body comparison app

That wouldn't always be a good indicator because of the diversity in proportions as shown by the pic of the girls.

You put a girl who has done 4 inches of LL compared to those girls with natural proportions you'll spot it straight away.

How?
One has a long torso and short legs, one has long legs and a very short torso, and the perception of their arm length is different between all three. One looks as though her arms are really short, one looks as though her arms are really long, the middle woman is smack bang in the middle. None are right or wrong. There is no official prototype of proportions.

Simple, get someone to add 4 inches to one of the girls and see how she compares. Maybe a couple of posters could have a go for fairness sake so there are multiple versions.

I thought the point of this exercise was to compare two people of the same height.
