I have perfectly balanced tibia to femur length ratio - the problem is because of this perfect ratio (since no bone is relatively shorter then other) - I am confused on where to do LL (tibia or femur) - I am leaning towards tibia because I believe relatively longer tibias will look less freaky then longer femurs. Or am I overthinking this? I mean many people did 3, even 4 -4.5 inches in one segment, so did they not think about looking odd ? Any input/opinion? I will add 7.5 inches. thanks.

Quote from: Penguinn on June 05, 2018, 08:51:30 PM3 inches on femurs is common because it's a stronger bone, internals are used in femurs making it easier, it blends in easier and proportions are easily hidden unlike tibias which stand out more, and wearing shoes helps if you have long femurs but would make your proportions even more awkward if you did 3" tibias.

7.5" is an unrealistic and dangerous goal


good input, I do wear lifts - so your point is that if I wear 2.75" lifts - it is anyway going to make tibia look longer so if I add 3 inches more - that will look odd - so why not do LL on femur, correct?

btw, I know 7.5 ich kinda high, but anything below 7 inches in my opinion is not worth LL.

Quote from: justaveragedude on June 05, 2018, 08:57:56 PM7 inches is 17.7 cm. That is fuking dangerous both for your physical and mental health. Most likely you will never walk properly. Now 7 or 7.5 cm is entirely different story, not sure if ATL surgery will be necessary, maybe if you lenghten slow you will avoid it? BodyBuilder or someone who did around 7-7.5 cm will be able to give proper answer.


sorry guys, my bad - yes I meant 7.5 cms, - 3 inches. Any more inputs/opinions on tibia vs femur would be appreciated.
