So, I am currently a little above 5'3". Most doctors recommend 10-15% of length of each bone to increase. So, I measured my femur and tibia. My femur is 17 inches and my tibia is 13.5 inches.
If I push a little bit to about 18-19% increase to 5.5-5.7 inches which will get me to 5'9". I realize I may be pushing it. But, is it possible? I don't care too much about proportions to be honest. I am not trying to push to be anything above 5'9" because that's when it will look very bad. I've checked and, yeah, my torso will be a little shorter compared to my legs but it's not crazy bad. Some of my friends have really short torsos and long legs that look fine.
I had a wreck when I was 12 that stunted my growth so I have been through many painful surgeries. So, my pain tolerance is pretty high Personally, I am confident I can push myself and body through the physical therapy. I been through all kinds of painful procedures so it's not new to me.
But, what I am wondering is when you bend your legs, is there a limit to how much you can push your muscles? Like, 5.7 inches is a lot but I keep pushing myself, will I eventually be able to bend my knees to able to sit down or do squats?
I mean you're muscles always grow and get bigger when you workout so I feel it would be hard to get them stretch but not impossible.
Any suggestions? Is it possible?
