Even though the saying we are all proportionate naturally is true to an extent, the main reason that is true is because human proprotions vary a lot naturally and that is why we think a lot of different proportions look natural, at least that is my opinion.

This thread has been done a lot before but i made a new one to highlight a great example of a high level athlete (kickboxer in this case) who has very long legs.

Badr Hari: 198 cm tall







especially in that last pic he easily looks like he could have been an LL patient (but of course if i didnt know about LL i would never notice he had a very short torso even)

But obviously since he is a high level kickboxer since an early age with great agility and flexibility, there is no way this guy did LL.
So do you guys think he looks disproportional?

Sorry to destroy it for you, but he is very proportionate 

Everything on him is taller than the shorter guy.
It only looks like that bc of the clothes in the 3d pic

The proportion nazis here would say anyone looks perfectly proportional then change their mind if they found out the guy had LL.  Don't bother trying to convince them; it's all distorted thinking in their heads impervious to rational arguments and examples.

Badr Hari does have very long arms though... Almost no one doing LL can have those arms without subsequent AL. His hands and feet are also huge. His torso does look small to me though. I wonder what his sitting height is.

He could be slouching too

I don't really mind proportionally short arms, tbh. If you work out you'll still look beastly regardless. Hey that's an idea, if you get your upper body buffed out after having a height lower than your wingspan, people would just chalk it up to being an illusion of short arms due to upper body mass, rather than just having short arms because of genetics.

Im so disappointed  never would have guessed you would answer that.

not really, and the small difference in upper body height between the two kickboxers is way less than the difference in leg length in either case.

Badr hari is looking down while the other guy is looking up, so there probably is a small height difference in their necks/heads, but if you measure from their waistline to the shoulders where the neck starts, it is pretty much the same height there.

good point, that is true, although my thread was simply to point out that the height ratio between torso and legs vary a lot between individuals. arm length is more important in looking proportional after doing LL.

haha yeah you are probably right about that

Check out this fellow doing squats:

http://m.

What do you have to say about his proportions?

[Sweden]

He sucked so bad at squats that it looks like he lengthened his femurs actually.

Nobody is that weak and has that terrible posture with so little weights.
It could be Goodfootballer from old forum  maybe.

Goodfootballer lengthened his tibiae.

I think the guy in te video is naturally that way. It comes from a website where a guy is complaining about how his natural proportions make squatting difficult.

Must be hard keeping your back straight while squatting with such proportionally long femurs.

[Taller]

I've already shown this elsewhere on this forum, but it is also very appropriate here.
Behold Conan O'Brien. Disproportionate and proud of it! He makes jokes about it quite a bit, so he's clearly not sad or embarrassed.



He's only rich and famous, but he doesn't look that bad. I see guys with legs like his, or longer, so often that I sometimes wonder if LL is secretly super common lol.
I would gladly take his proportions and height of 6'4.

Agreed. Also, people with these proportions have their centers of gravity (their torsos) behind their feet while squatting, making it very easy for them to fall backwards.
