anyone else think there legs are too short?

**dirtball_619** · 06-04-2008, 11:30 PM

is there a certain natural ratio to how long your torsoe is supposed to be compared to your legs?

just feels like my legs are too short for my body, im 5,8" and wear jeans with 32" waist and 30" inseems and there still pretty baggy... WTF

my thought are either

A: its all in my head
B:Thats how i naturally am
C: I took prohormones too early(17) and they closed my growth plates in my legs while my torsoe or spine kept growing.

lol i think its inyour head. sure everyone is differently apportioned.

haha for me i can fit the waist but the legs are always a tight squeeze

i usually just get 1 or 2 sizes up and my legs are good.

On a second thought when did you take pro hormones that could have had an effect for sure.

** oops just noticed 17, maybe someone else can comment i am not to sure on that but its likely. Why measure then and compares to averages."

Me for example i am a big guy but surprisingly my wrists are very small.

besides it isnt a bad thing to tall makes it hard to fill out. And on some guys such as flex wheeler he didnt have such huge hands, joints etc so it helped him to look bigger.

look at it this way bro.. thats just further down you dik hands.. optical illusion bro.

is there a chart or ratio ya'll know of? i couldnt find a thing on google, just women talkin about pant sizes and modeling bullshit. but appearantly the typical inseem for a women thats 5,2" is 30" and thats probably not baggy either.

my calves are lacking right now but you can tell when i build them up they will go down half my leg. also my ankles are very thick compared to most, not tissue but bone.

guess ill take measurements, measure a few people who i think are proportionate and compare... if i find out my legs are short i guess its off for x-rays to see if my plates are closed. if so im FVCKED!!! my Dad sais he grew about 3 inches between 19-25 so maybe theres still hope!

my question is lets say your legs are not proporsionate?? then what.. you will just be more pissed..

**NATE0406** · 06-05-2008, 12:21 AM

but really im the same way too. i dont even wear shorts because of that. unless they are gym shorts.

**dirtball_619** · 06-05-2008, 12:33 AM

not a clue. how to you measure it?

**wantmoremass** · 06-05-2008, 11:06 AM

i have always been the opposite - short on torso, long on legs. i always admire guys with a bit more torso. the grass is always greener :-)

**RuhlFreak55** · 06-05-2008, 12:41 PM

how about this....just be happy that you're better than most at squat due to this

**jchopper1** · 06-05-2008, 12:55 PM

i think my legs are small not short

**IronReload04** · 06-05-2008, 01:47 PM

depends what the prohormones were? take vpx 1-test for instance. directly or indirectly, I highly highly highly highly doubt that drug for instance can cause the necessary estrogen to close the plates.

**numbat** · 06-05-2008, 01:59 PM

I have long arms, legs, and waist. It hard to find good fitting clothes and every workout I do is a pain in the ass.

**BigLittleTim** · 06-05-2008, 02:02 PM

I'm 5'-7" tall with a 30" inseam. Another shorty here.

Inseam: length from crotch to cuff, measured along the seam on the inner side of the leg.
(e.g. If you wear 32x34 Levi's jeans, your waist is 32", your leg length, or "inseam", is 34")

Yes; your legs are proportionally short compared to the rest of your body.
Yes; you are probably good at squats.
No; you won't grow just in your legs, if you get a 'growth spurt'. (sorry)

Note: Just because you wear 30" waist jeans, doesn't mean you have a 30" waist. Pants come in "vanity sizes"... they're marked smaller by three or four inches. Again; sorry.

I am 5'8 and I wear a 32 (33 or 34)....

for some reason, in my mind, I have a build that doesnt make me seem short....I dunno....Probably because my back and chest are pretty jacked I am not going to lie.
