Quote from: Taller on September 29, 2015, 03:38:37 PMI have very broad shoulders and long arms and a long torso, but average to shortish legs. The result is that I look shorter than I am. Proportionally ong legs make a person look taller than they actually are and vice versa.
Lucky chap. LL should look great on you then. 
Haha yeah, I look great in lifts. My only proportion problem is that tibia to femur ratio is already really good, so doing one segment will throw it off. And by no means am I up for lengthening both segments. I'm leaning toward 5-6 CM on tibiae as mine are a bit bowed and I can correct that at the end of my lengthening. Either segment will worsen my ratio, though, which is pretty worrisome.

I'm in the same boat. When I lengthen my femurs(mockups) they look kinda long, but when I lengthen my tibias it looks absolutely alien, abnormal and terrible. So I'm going with femurs.

I think 8CM on tibiae is a bad idea 95% of the time, proportionally and functionally. I've seen a lot more good outcomes from people who did 7-8 CM femur, so that's definitely the way to go if you can afford it and are set on 8CM. I'm personally fine with 5-6CM, so either segment would be an option.
What are your current femur to torso proportions, more or less?

How broad are they?
From deltoid to deltoid.
I don't have a tape measure in my flat, so I can't tell you. But they are broader than my 187-188CM dad's shoulders by quite a bit. When I get a chance to measure properly, I'll post the number.
i did the deltoid to deltoid and got 51cm.. is that considered broad? ive also had my shoulders measured for a suit before on the back of my shoulder and got 50cm.. not sure if this is classified as broad or not?

Broader than average but if you have built your deltoid muscles it is not that uncommon. What's most interesting to me is the width of the underlying bonestructure, regardless of how bif your muscles get your arms will not move much from your torso.

UH... Idk if that's true if you get really fat it almost looks like your shoulders are bigger and so like therefore after LL you look better. If you slimmed down then you would look WAY to small.
