Apo did too much lengthening indeed; but if someone stuck along with a good doctor and never did more than 8 cm on femurs and 6,5 cm tibias, I believe they would be fine. Do you have a reason to believe that Apo currently walks like an old man? Are there any videos of showing him walking?
I'm wondering does this stilt look apply to, i should not say only him but let's say like me i want 180 cm 5'11 (starting height 165-169).
My legs wont be lengthened as much as his. But i think they look like stilts if you go into the "tall over 6'0" cathegory no?.
Sorry if you did not understand what i ment.
Been checking proportions for the last 2 years and i have noticed that it is over 5'11 that proportions become a problem. At 5'11 you are still "too short" for it to be of big significance.
The picture has to be taken further away. He is 20cm taller now.
--------------
I don't know about his pictures. If taken so close it's difficult to see if something's wrong with his proportions.
Some pictures of me doesn't look that good I think bc you can see that the legs are long. Doesn't look natural.
It could be bc I'm fit and Apo is fat that he gets away with it better.
I was taller than Apo to begin with. Height, wingspan, sitting height.
I still feel like a little guy being 180cm, especially when I sit down with people.
I have a hard time believing that Apo is lengthening his arms. I know he mentioned it before but actually doing it is completely something else.
Sweden, may i ask how is your eye level compared to the rest of the population around you. Could you put on slippers and just go down to the store without feeling "dwarfed" by other people?. And maybe you see what you want to see?. To be honest no one cares about sitting height.
i am close as tall as my 6'1 friend sitting down and he has the worst posture and he don't even care that he is smaller because standing up is all that really matters.

Interesting that you feel this way. What is your sitting height, Sweden?
The second picture looks really nasty... Seriously man, I showed it to my friends and they say he looks like an alien. I feel bad for him if he really looks like that in real life. I don't know why some of you think that he still looks normal in that second picture...

Around 93 something. I remember it was like ~2cm taller than Apo.

I don't think I'm dwarfed but I can see that almost everyone is taller than me. I sometimes try to remember how small I must have been.
All of my friends are still taller than me. Well except maybe one that was 1-2cm taller than me before. I haven't seen him in 5 months now but we spoke the other day so I'll see him tomorrow.
Last time we met I was on crutches.
I can't say I felt significant taller than him.

Do you mean that they are taller than you while sitting or standing?
I find it a bit weird that you almost only have friends taller than 180 even in Sweden, because there should be around 50% below that height, it's almost the average after all. Are you sure of their heights or could it be that perception and old height neurosis come into play? Here in Norway I am a little over 170 and almost always the shortest guy around, but there are many 175-178 guys and even some my height or a little taller than me (̃~172-173).. I even know of guys that are shorter (~165) but they're obviously a minority.
Do you plan on staying in Sweden?

Yes I plan to stay.
I'm taller than most of my team mates so doing another 5cm would totally embarrass myself.

F*ck 'em! If you really want a few more cms then do it and don't worry about what people think.
