Limb lengthening with Fitbone

Edit Post

Your running seems somewhat slow and the gait is a little weird Helloworld.
That said, it is completely normal after LL and even better than average, but I don't think you ran like that before LL, otherwisenyour sprint was not very fast.

I can run about like that while I am still rehabilitating from my at shortening surgery and my running ability is much worse than before LL. So I don't think the running on your video is as good as before LL, which is normal as I said before (and still you are better than the vast majority of LLers).
But you know better

Here is running video. I think I am as fast as before but still need to find a 100 meter track.


Congratulations, you seem pretty good. I have a question regarding your current height.  So you lengthened 5,5 cm,  how much did your real height increase in fact? Have u measured your height exactly? Because you know femur bone is not vertical as tibia bone, so if you lengthened 5,5 cm, you may gain 5,5 cm real height.  i am just curious about difference between lengthened and real height

I feel it is normal, but I would need a 100 meter track to know for sure.
Before I was around 13.5 for 100 meters.
What I do know is that a friend, the one who did the video, is pretty fast and a former Tai kwan do champion and I easily outran him.

I'm just glad some people can run again. I don't expect any of them to be just like they were before, after stretching their soft tissues so much.

Ok, maybe from video we cant see exactly how fast you run.

helloworld,

You look great running man. I was always surprised at your level of PT, and just saw videos again of you in March 2017, you had almost no muscle atrophy.

I am currently lengthening with Precise 2 which seems to limit us a little more, and the muscle atrophy for me has been pretty bad.

Any advise you can share from those times for you.

Thanks.

He was already tall before LL, so his % increase in his femurs isn't nearly as high as the ones from most people in here, who do ~6cm at shorter heights. And he had a good recovery. This is why I think I'm gonna think hard about my max limit when doing LL.

about muscle extension:
does the muscle not also extend during childhood and puberty? There does not seem to be a problem with it.

So what I did, and which I think helped was:
exercise and strech for 2.5 hours day during first few month, which now got reduced to around 20 minutes per day
always do high intensity workouts
sleep 8 hours+
see the sun as much as possible
eat around 2 kg of raw fruits and vegetables per day
take creatin, lysin, vitamin D, calcium
extend really slowly: 5.5 cm over 3 months
go back to normal life (going to office, seeing friends, going to normal gym, travelling) after less than 3 months

Thank you for sharing this helloworld.  It all seems doable except for the sleep part.  Seems I can only get 30-40 minutes of sleep at a time currently.  I am at the 6 cm mark and it has gotten tough.

Thank you for coming back to answer and update.  Glad you're well!

True!
I did three sleep sessions: at night, early morning and afternoon.
That is what bothered me most.
I remember I would take hot and cold showers to get some relief from pain.
