Hi! I'd be eager to try Stryde LL in a few years on my femurs to gain maybe 8cm but I was thinking about my arm to leg ratio, so here are my current stats
- I'm 171cm tall
- 169 wingspan but my shoulders are quite narrow
- 76cm arm length (from shoulder's upper bone to end of middle finger)
- 91cm leg length (from Anterior Superior Iliac Spine to the medial malleolus)

So in the best case scenario I would have 76cm arms with 100cm legs. I know it's hard to picture but do you guys think it'll turn out good? I wouldn't want to get that t-rex vibe :/

Thank you in advance for answers!

the shoulder is a little narrow but 8 cm, it will not look bad with clothes

Oh is shoulder broadness criteria ? I only said that to explain that arm length was maybe more relevant than wingspan in my case haha

Your shoulders don't seem so narrow, they look normal, anyway you have a good torso and that's more important. In this forum many people talk about arm lenght but I've never met a person who likes gorilla like arms...they just need to be normal, not too short. In addition your femurs look definitely short compared to tibia so in my opinion you can go for it without problem.

Well thank you, that's very reassuring!  (By the way what makes for a good/bad torso?)

For good torso I mean long enough, generally it's the most important thing to evaluate to have a nice aestetic result. I think that proportions are made by many things, like torso lengh, arm lengh, shoulders, hands, bone thickness in general...you can lack some of these points, you just need to don't lack all of these and not too much. Obv some are more important but there are many factors that give naturalness to the body.

Oh ok, just checked real quick and it's about 56cm from C7 vertebrae to the top of the iliac crest, I think it's decent?
But that's true that a simple description is sometimes not enough to get a grip of the "(dis)harmony".

Just checked, around 85cm!


edit : here's a "mockup" I tried, it's supposed to be +8cm
