DeanW92 said:Just wondering, for those of you who say you are long torso shorter legs, what sort of measurements do you have?

E.g. top of hip to shoulder vs top of hip to foot?

f**k knows Happy

I'm 5'9" which is average height for a male in the UK yet I only have a 30" inside leg which is classed as a short fitting.

Hence I have a proportionally long back compared to my legs.
I also think it's my femurs that are short and that I have relatively normal length shins.

Squat power!

Just thought it would be interesting to see what others are in comparison, not sure what the best way to do it though.

I measured from hip crease to top of shoulder 20 inch
Hip crease to floor 42 inch.

I would think that i have long legs and short torso but not really sure.

it would be segment length ratios I would have thought

torso vs femur
femur vs shank


as opposed to torso vs entire leg

Yer i understand what ya mean, still overall length i would imagine has an impact.

Guessing femur length has more of a negative impact on forward lean than lower leg.
