Anyone considering LL but worried about torso length/proportions here's an average for torso lengthens. There is a difference in measurements between sitting height and torso length so make sure you read carefully where to measure if you wish to try it http://www.ehow.com/how_8251478_tell-long-short-torso.html

I will keep looking to find one on sitting heights

It doesnt include neck and head though... Although what I did find interesting in this article (if it's really serious) is that the difference between the 5'7 and 5'11 torsos are on average 2 inches only

There is torso lengthening surgery, i hope you never ever think about it, very very risky and one of the most difficult surgeries by far. i heard rate of success is less than 20%

The head and neck is part of your torso that's why I'm looking for a sitting height one to include that. I found the torso lengthen interesting though not as much of a difference as you'd think most height differences come from legs which is encouraging to LLers. I've heard of the torso lengthening one apperently they inject your spine with something? Either way my spine is fine the way it is haha

This is an excellent link it has just about every body proportion for American male and female from 1st to 99th percentile you could ever imagine. Sitting height is on page 31 definitely worth looking at if proportions is something you concern yourself with.

Why would that be surprising? Those two heights are 4 inches apart, and 2 inches is 50% of that. Since more than half of your height is in your legs, it's not a surprising number at all.

It's interesting because in throws away the notion that lengthening 2-3 inches in your legs will make your sitting height too obviously short compared to standing height...

If you lengthen 20 cms, like apo did, it will become noticeable.

Definitely but for the most part 5-10cm is enough to satisfy most which I think most people's torso/leg ratio could handle
