Whats the ideal torso/legs ratio? And how to measure?

[HarrierDuBois]

you seem to be pretty retarded

Why did you assume Iceland? Legit caged.

 

[Constantin Denis]

ideal legs are as long as possible

 

[Whatashame]

link the text where it says that

Second, that among the realistic images the optimum LBR is about 0.5 s.d. above the population mean and was similar for black, white, and grey figures—although the judgement function was somewhat steeper for the latter. The value of approximately 0.5 s.d. corresponds to the 69th percentile of the population, but is only about 1.5% above the baseline.

literally says 50% lbr is ideal, low iq read it dumbass.

u are coping too hard brother, i read entirely. I even quoted, it is slighty longer legs.

nah that starts getting weird

What are you even talking about you stupid nigger monkey, you quoted the study saying the ideal leg to body ratio being 50%. I aint you brotha nigga. Keep coping you abused low iq dog

 

[Constantin Denis]

same lmao

im so fucking jealous holy fuck

 

[potentialzaddy]

frame > ratio big in shape torso mogs and looks the most manly

 

[bobsmith03]

what is correct way to measure leg to torso ratio. as you can see my femur is very long. makes squats hard. and also my long arms dont help with bench press either.

u r with height shoes in the second pic right?

no bro its just shoes lol. how do i check my ratio i need to know to what degree my legs are longer

aint no way u have that long ass legs mate

bro its true. now how do i properly measure legs and torso so i can find out ratio?

literally has a post from me in this thread

LBR = leg to body ratio.
LL = leg lengthening

The studies that were conducted (that I looked at) never took in consideration height (they would squish/stretch a figure). Taller people tend to have longer legs, it's really not weird when you are over 6'1 and you have high LBR, but if you are lengthening to attain human height ~5'10 then you really need to look at LBR.

The truth regarding this specific measurement is that it is almost useless. I am going to assume you are asking this for LL.

You can lengthen as much as your "volume" allows. Here is this body builder with an insane LBR:
His volume is frauded hard thanks to muscles and he doesnt have a muffin top thanks to being lean (muffin top + long legs = instant failo). Even without muscles his clavicle length and wingspan add so much volume.

The most important ratio is volume to leg ratio IMO, this is my conclusion after over 2 weeks research. I asked many friends to rate many edited pictures where I lengthened people's legs (before and afters side by side). If you are a framecel or have a small wingspan then LL will look uncanny (hands need to be comfortably past your waist). If your wingspan is good and your volume is good then longer legs are halo.

This is what I call volume theory. Take the volume pill. People don't care about height/frame, they care about volume. That's why 6'2 with frame mogs 6'4-6'5 framelet. It's also why 5'10 with frame hardly/never mogs 6'2 framelet, the volume you occupy is multiplicative with respect to both your height and frame, severely lacking in an either brings down your overall volume greatly.

Your leg length just needs to match your volume. It's also why people look better when they wear clothes when they have long legs (even if the shirt/jacket doesn't go past their torso). It's because clothes fraud volume.

If you want to simplify it, look at a picture and look at the area covered (shoulder_width * height) for people with similar musculature, you will immediately notice that more area covered can make longer legs look less uncanny or even good.

Interesting!
Is there a way to measure it in yourself?

Longer legs, smaller torso, narrow hips and wide shoulders perfect combo

 

[Heinrich Schmidt]

Average length legs, longer torso, broad shoulders, and longer arms. Perfect conbo.
