Will a 47% ratio be noticeable or unnatural?

Edit Post

My natural ratio is 0.58 at a 169 cm height. My sitting height is 98 cm.

It's weird how nature works.

Are you serious?! that's a sitting height 1cm above the 95th percentile at a 15th percentile height, are you sure you measured correctly? Do your legs look abnormally short?

Yeah, I measured correctly. I was honestly pretty shocked when I first measured it, too. I'm not so sure if the short legs are noticeable, though I've had a few powerlifting mentors comment on how my short leg should help with squatting a lot of weight.

My theory is that my legs are short because I was supposed to be tall (around 186 cm, based on my height when I was two years old and my parents' heights), but that my leg growth was stunted due to precocious puberty (when you hit puberty really early, like at 9 years old). I was actually about 167 cm when I was 12, if you can believe at. At about 13, I was fully developed and had reached my current height of 169 cm lol.

Just do what RG KEY did 9cm tibia's 8cm femur be like 175 or a lot taller for you.   Totally worth it people can't tell it's your legs people are full of   about how you look.   One guy here went from 5'1 - 5'8 that's pretty damn big lol.

I'm sorry, I was slightly off. My sitting height is 95 cm.

I had precocious puberty too. I stopped growing at 13 at 5'8 though by dad is 5'10 and mum is 5'9 so I should have grown to 5'11+ my brother though is 14 and he is now at almost 5'10 and still growing like a boss. I am 16+ and have not grown a  . Sometimes nature acts wierd...

We were predicted to be the same height--6'0. It sucks enough for short guys, but at least they grew up knowing they'd be short. We grew up being told "oh, you're going to be a tall, handsome 6'0-6'3 man"! Then, you reach junior high school, and you're like "sweet, I'm already my mom's height, and I'm developing all of my muscles and stuff; this is awesome". Then...nothing. You're done. Then you have an endocrinologist tell you your senior year that you have rare precocious puberty and that you're growth plates are closed, then you sit there thinking "what the fk? This wasn't the deal. I was supposed to be 6'0+; that's what I was told. I was this fking height in eighth grade! Are you serious?! I'm DONE growing?!".

It's the biggest bull  ever. Like I said, at least naturally short guys grew up knowing they'd be short. We got raped in Jr. High by nature.

well look on the bright side, you have a short pair of legs and you will look good or even better after the surgery unlike someone that has a 50% ratio, they will just look like a spider, you on the other hand can get away with a monster gain and still look good.

what is your armspan?

I remember being told when I was about 7 or 8 that I would be my dad's height, 5'11".  I was always small so I didn't totally believe it but I hoped I would get that late growth spurt that everyone told me about.  Didn't happen, 5'6".  Not even close to what the doctors told me.

Heh, I was 4'9 when I was twelve. Was surprised as hell that I made it to 5'5 when I stopped growing at 15.
