5'10", 33 inch inseam, 5'11" wingspan but forearms of a child

I'd still do LL anyway if I had the money but it's like god doesn't want me to. Anyone else here have absolutely terrible proportions for CLL? I mean, I don't really care much, I'd still lengthen to 6'2", but thinking about my bodily proportions does make me a bit melancholic. Wish I at least had broad shoulders, long arms, and wrists that didn't look like they belonged on a 12 year old girl as a consolation prize.

I always thought that my proportions are kinda weird cause I have super long arms and pretty short legs, LL might improve my proportions a little. I'm not extremly flexible but I can touch the ground with the full flat palm of my hands without any problems.

All of us start with very high expectations, you'll see about your proportions during the lengthening process, if you feels it's too much just stop.

Damit I acutally wanted to quote you and not myself Who else has absolutely terrible proportions?

Mate we're the same height and my inseam is only sightly shorter than yours. Also my wingspan is 174CM, my wrists have always been really thin, and my hands are noticeably smaller than my dads even though he is only 8CM taller.

I feel your pain man, but I've studied my proportions a lot and I'm pretty certain I could pull of 7-8CM while still looking pretty good.

It's possible to lengthen your clavicle and humerus anyway so If you really want it you can still look good at 188CM.

It's none of my business so you don't have to answer, but if you decide to answer, why do you want to do CLL, as 5' 10" is a great height?

If you decide to do CLL, why don't you shoot for 6' to 6' 1", as your proportions will still be in the normal range?

I would NEVER go for an ape index worse than -2 inches.

Not really because my arms are not short, I've just got a thin frame. My proportions will be similar to OBG except I plan to lengthen a bit more.

I'd say I do as far my torso. I've got a 82cm SH and a 170cm wingspan it's insanely troublesome
