Life after a full recovery

Edit Post

Quote from: just4cm on January 30, 2014, 08:51:18 PMWhat about gym and street workout? Is it possible to pimp your body seriously after LL? Or there could be problems with leg days? Ty.

Yes. It is possible. I've been doing the superman lift... standing up and pushing 90lb over my head.

Unfortunately, I've been doing it the all natural way.. no steroid or any other shortcut.. so I look kind of skinny.

I will be putting a video up this weekend.. but right now, I'm trying to figure out how to blur my face.. as I don't want everyone in my city to know that I have done LL.. lol

I don't understand why ?
Is that to do with muscle strength or just getting used to the extra height

If I train in a pair of Nike airs
Or where boots my balance is fine
I would only look to lengthen this amount you see

It  will be good to here more from Sweden what sort of training he does how things have been effected if possible

What is the best way forward frames or internal
I've heard of knees problems with internal ?


I'm not an expert but in training I have a lot of knowledge

With your sex drive
Maybe your body is still recovering plus with the Mma your doing and maybe more it could be pushing your body hard and mentally
Almost like over training affect
Which will affect sex drive

Try plenty of protein in your diet and enough carbs also try a natural test producer might kick you into gear  anabol 19 USN is quite good

Hope it helps

Thanks for the advice. However, I'm quite happy with the single life where I can just concentrate on myself and not others.

- it has to do with muscle strength and ankle strength. And because your legs are longer than you used to, you also have to deal with maintaining of a pair of lanky long legs which have been weakened through several surgeries and stretching of the muscle.

However, I lengthened a whole 8cm. If you just seek 4cm, then your result should be different.

Smallguy, what do you think happens to the muscles after they get stretched out from LL? do the muscles adapt eventually and get longer (adding more mass)? Thats what i heard the guys over at old forum  say. But im not sure.

also the bone itself should be stronger where it was broken than before as the body adapts. I guess it puts more pressure on the ankles compared to before but the extra pressure is the same as it would have been if you where born with taller legs to begin with.

Your muscle gets severely weaken from LL. That's for sure. However, I feel like I can get back 100% of my pre-LL agility if I try.

1. Yes, the muscle increases as you do more running and other exercises. Combine with eating healthily, your body adapts to your routine. That why I think indian patients have a slower time recovering (eg. Crazy 6?) compare to someone who lives in a 1st world city like me. I eat the most fresh food on the planet and live in the most clean environment.

2. The pressure on your ankle and knee certainly increase after you have longer bones. Maybe that's why some ppl have pain. But I feel that with enough exercises, like jumping jacks and rope, you can eventually adapt to your longer legs. Right now, I'm trying to increase my explosiveness. That means I will choose for shorter duration but more intense workout.. like trying to run really quickly on the treadmill for 10 mins instead of climbing the steps for 30 minutes.

Quote from: Oneguyboxer on January 28, 2014, 12:01:12 AMI'm new to this
I'm looking for some questions being answered by ppl who has had LL

What is a full recovery ??

Can you return to normal life

Sports? I do full contact sports
Boxing , Mma , football

Are all these possible after LL
Say like 4-5cm
Is it more likely to make a full recovery

What are ppl experiences with this and how long would it take for a full recovery

Hope you all can help



There's been some really interesting posts on here ....thanks

But I haven't heard of anyone who has recovered fully and has returned to sports to a good level there happy with
Or if doing only 4 cm would make a big difference

Is there anyone out there that has done just that I wonder and who with and which way they did there LL

Edit Post

lets say f someone s currently in the fire service or police force do you think they could fully recover for the job if they did cll?

Edit Post

Maybe, but if that's the career you really want I wouldn't take a chance like that.

Edit Post

Like MDW, I think recovery varies on an individual basis.

However, for me, I really messed up. 6 surgeries plus 3 broken bones (pre-consolidate), two nails inserted and one bent plate... I could still perform running speed at 5.5miles/hour after 6 months of recovery.

Regarding the career you mention above., I could be a police man. I could sprint and do different kicks. I could easily tackle a criminal (not to mention use firearm or taser gun). I could be a fireman. I could lift 100lb over my head and do 10 reps. My endurance is also better than most people at my gym.

However, at the moment, I don't think I can be a viable Tae Kwon Do competitor. I can't do a flying side-kick nor perform long jump. I can't dash back and forth as I use to. I can't play soccer, basketball nor footfall. But I can play hockey!

My ortho said I still have a lot of recovery left to do. It's all a matter of time but your recovery is limitless and it depends on yourself.

Is it still worth it in the end? Sure! More happy, less height neurosis, more confident and success at picking up random women in Vancouver have also increased.

Thanks for the detailed response, Smallguy! Do you see yourself being able to play soccer or basketball in the short run? Maybe within a year or so? Man, all those surgeries.. You definitely went through a lot. A family friend told me that she thought I'd have a much more difficult time with LL than I apparently did.. I'm lucky I guess, you're a warrior.

Regarding gym-going by the way, I already feel fit enough to go to the gym and do an upper body workout, swim, and do leg extension. I obviously can't run yet; it's been a week since I've been using the walker but I'm way too enthusiastic for hitting the gym again. If only I had my car.. It's still in service, getting fixed..
