I thought about lengthening my tibias for 4-5cms first before I decide whether or not I want to do my femurs as well. Do you think I could handle 5cm proportionwise? My height is around 178, and my knee height is 53cm which is pretty low for my height. I do habe skinny legs thought, they make them look smaller and longer.

My wingspan is 187-188cm

Yes definitely mate, I think most people can do 5CM and look just as good.

[Disobedient]

178cm is not bad at all.. I mean really it's a good height ..

anyway .. yeah 5cm will do the job I think.. and you would still look proportional

[KrP1]

178 cm is a very good height, but you could do 5cm in your tibias , stay in the safe zone and still be proportional

[NewHeights]

I'm 177 CM morning, 176 CM night (178 CM morning on longer left leg).

Going to try the inversion/glucosamine routine to gain 2 CM and be a solid 5' 10" or 178 CM (routine will have to be maintained though)

id say do 4cm, 95th percentile knee height is 57cm. you wouldn't want to be a cm above that at a 75-80th percentile height.

Where can I find stats on knee height?

[ReadRothbard]

It's fine--but you need to put on some muscle.

Can you please stop taking numbers out of air? 56.7 cm is the 50th percentile knee height, and 95th is 60.9

You have long Tibia's which means you can easily do 5-8cm on your femurs, the majority will be hidden by your underwear or shorts etc.

Your build is fine.

Does anyone know femur percentiles? I always felt that my femurs is where i lose the most height (my humerus is also correspondingly short).

You can measure buttock-knee length (194)

56.8 (22.4) 61.3 (24.1) 65.8 (25.9)
5th 50th 95th

The taller you are before surgery the better and you got a good starting height so 5cms will be pretty good for you, baggy pants will look good specially.

Woah there, buddy... I think you might have your head too high up the clouds:

Data included in this document have been primarily measured on the ground (1-G environment)

However, to distinguish acceleration relative to free-fall from simple acceleration (rate of change of velocity), the unit g (or g) is often used. One g is the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity

The precise strength of Earth's gravity varies depending on location. The nominal "average" value at the Earth's surface, known as standard gravity is, by definition,[2] 9.80665 m/s2 (about 32.1740 ft/s2). This quantity is denoted variously as gn, ge (though this sometimes means the normal equatorial value on Earth, 9.78033 m/s2), g0, gee, or simply g (which is also used for the variable local value)

I like how you highlighted the word 'idiot' though.

Height Increase - Stature increases approximately 3%.

[Overdozer]

Height Increase - Stature increases approximately 3%.

...

Where possible, guidelines are provided for relating these data to space flight acceleration regimes (from hypergravity to microgravity).

Notes for application of dimensions to microgravity conditions:
Anthropometric Changes in Weightlessness:
Height Increase - Stature increases approximately 3%. This is the result of spinal decompression and lengthening.

a) Gravity conditions - the dimensions apply to a 1-G condition only. Dimension expected to change significantly due to microgravity are marked.

(Ok, I stop now)

OK thanks for your opinion guys!
