What's your inseam to height ratio?

Edit Post

Hello All,

I measured my true inseam (pubis bone to floor) not my pants inseam (balls to ankle), and my ratio of inseam/height is 47.7% which kinda sucks because the average man has a ratio of 46.5%

My inseam is 33", and height is 69"

Above 48% is considered "long legs", and before 45%  is "short legs"

What's your ratio of true inseam/height?

This is how you measure it btw. Take a thin book and shove it up your crotch like this

I guess all of you guys have legs either short or on the shorter side. Sucks to be me

Not sure about that 48%=long legs

If I would lengthen 7CM my ratio would be 47,5% and they look would very long, in fact I wouldn't do more than that solely because of my proportions. Long legs look good on both men and women, but all things in moderation.

At 47.7%, I don't think my legs look "very long". They are definitely noticeably longer than average, but I actually think they look good aesthetically at my current ratio.

Unfortunately, once you start getting into that 48% to 49% range, they start to look very long

There seems to be kind of a cutoff at 48% because when I wear long pants and walk on my toes (+7-8CM) My proportions look surprisingly good, but when I add shoes to that I start to look pretty awkward.

48% is the upper bound of the normal range, but 49% should be the absolute cutoff IMO. If I decide to do CLL, I will not go passed 180CM, as that will keep me just under 49%

I guess I could go to 186 without having weird proportions, my wingspan to height ratio would be -3 then. How far can you go above the wingspan in terms oft height?

You are good with wingspan dude. After -1 inch ape index is where you may run into problems, but I doubt you want to lengthen over 11CM.

Based on your current inseam/height and wingspan, I can't think of a better candidate for CLL, as you will look more proportional after. MDOW has an insane 42% inseam/height before lengthening, so he was also a great candidate

Still, I don't think people are measuring true (cycling) inseam correctly, as it seems unlikely that nearly every respondant has a 45% or less inseam/height.
