100m Sprint after LL

Quote from: ppericc on July 25, 2021, 04:45:09 PMEven 2.5 years later you can't do weighted full squat, can you atleast squat an empty barbell? As someone who likes to workout this is concerning and makes me very doubtful to do this surgery or not.

Dont lengthen more than 5-6cm on femur, or 3-4 on tibias. Don’t play with fire and do anything stupid/greedy like most dumbasses here will suggest.

Seriously this is the most intense, bordering insane surgery you can ever do. Please take care of your physical body and listen to it. Most people under 5cm femur have recovered 100%. With every cm after that you drop 10-20% PER cm. At 8cm expect to lose at least 30% function lmao. That’s what most diaries suggest.

Can you link diaries from those who have done 5 cm femurs? Most I see are 7-8 cm. I wanna see how different the recovery is for 5 cm

Thats not a normal result.
I can do squats with heavy workouts and generally work out very hard. I can't run fast as I said or jump high and all these things but still my legs are strong and I can do anything and of course lift heacy weights.
And I did 7,5cm on tibias which is considered too much for that segment.

That is not true.
I lengthened twice from what you said, my first doctor messed my tendons with atl and I did another fix surgery, I had another surgery on my right tibia to fix a misalignment and after all these bs I am still way more than 70%. I am at least 82-85% and I feel very good and strong.
So no, saying that only 3-4 cm are safe for tibias otherwise tou'll be max 70% is a joke. After all, for 3cm it is plain stupidity for someone to do something so massive and expensive as LL.
Most people can do 6cm on tibias and 7 on femurs without losing much athletic abilities if they go to respectable doctors and have a bit of luck which is always needed with LL.

It seems that 95% of people return to normal life after 5cm and 90% after 8cm.  Depends on doctor, method, pre existing status with muscles, etc. 

For femurs that is.  Dunno about tibiae

Edit Post

I did close to 6cm femurs.
as mentioned above, 5 cm is ideal for femurs. For tibs it should be less if you want to recover athletic ability.

This surgery is dangerous. I recently removed nails and have yet to sprint 100m. But I believe my current recovery is around 85%, and i feel completely normal. no minor or major pain. I can jump pretty high and strength is amazing.

with that said, best to avoid this surgery altogether if possible. But if you cant get over the neurosis and its been bothering and depressing you for long time maybe its better to get it done.
But stay conservative and don't listen to what people write. Only believe in videos of people sprinting.
Apotheosis lengthened 21cm and claims he is athletic, playing sports and back to normal. But nobody has ever seen a video of him doing anything other than walking awkwardly.

There was a guy who sprinted in sand of beaches. he posted video here after LL. Cant remember his name, him and oldiebutgoldie are the only ones I can certify has reached pre-LL athleticism.

I was never that into squatting as I had a herniated L5/S1 and eventually had a spinal fusion. I could BP around 210 lbs, but only squat 100 lbs - but after CLL I was really struggling to squat using an unweighted straight bar, but some of this is because my thigh is so long now and my Tib/Fem ratio is far from normal @ ~ 0.7.
In last few months I have purchased a Trapezoidal bar which allows better balance control and less stress on spine too, I am currently "Squatting" (really deadlifting) about 50 lbs for 4 sets of 15 reps.
Since CLL I know I have lost strength in my thighs, I am naturally a slim guy (68 kg atm) my thighs are about the same diameter (50cm) as before cll, but I would say I have gained back 1.5 inches in last 2 years.
I am finding my knees are also a limiting factor - since CLL (both rods were inserted distally i.e through knees joints) both knees (esp right) have become quite sore, noisy and gritty (allmost as if they are not lubricated) - I am not sure if this is partly due to them being at different heights as I have to squat more wide legged now to compensate for my 2.7 cm LLD (Limb length Discrepency)

This is probably a dumb question. But why do you still have rods in your legs 2 years later? I’m not aware of the process of all the different procedures so I’m genuinely asking.
