Hey guys I am sick of being short and I spoke to a pro bodybuilder who did 4cm lengthening but only on 1 leg. He still squats and deadlifts 500 for reps but he only did one leg. I am planning to do both legs would this amount be safe for me to return to sports?
He does I saw the videos but he only lengthened 1 leg not two.
I am 5'8 and I am going for 5'10. I spoke to the bodybuilder and will be meeting with him soon.
The reason why I am doing this surgery is to be in the average range. I might only go with 4cm possibly because I still want to compete in professional bodybuilding.

Lies make baby Jesus cry
He has videos and they are on youtube so he can't lie. The difference is that he did one leg though as opposed to two.
Quote from: FDR101 on November 25, 2017, 12:54:25 PMIf he only did one leg it’s because there was a discrepancy before, so the LL just restored his natural tibia/femur ratio and probably improved his lifting ability.
If you artificially lengthen your tibia or femur you’re going away from the natural tibia/femur balance and thus you won’t be able to lift near anything like before.
People with longer femurs have a harder time squatting even without weights from what I know
Yes he told me his lifting improved but discrepancy is different than bilateral lengthening. I will have to discuss these concerns with the doctor. Honestly I might just end up doing 1 inch on each segment. I need to be very careful to avoid any complications.
Not the bodybuilder on here but a pro bodybuilder. Anyway I'll see if I can do the surgery or not it will be a tough dilemma to sort out.
The issue is that if you pursue bodybuilding as a short guy then you start getting accusations of little man syndrome it's just one of those things.
Yeah I am going to think about it for a while before doing it that's for sure. If I do end up doing it I will be very very conservative that's for sure.
It's been 3 years since he had the surgery and yes he has been taking steroids. No he did not do the surgery as a child.
