Do you get all the cm lenghtened on femurs?

Edit Post

Hey guys,
Giotikas told me that sometimes, because of the femurs not being straight, you can "lose" like 1 mm per cm. For example, a 6 cm lenghtening would equal to 5.4 real cm. I have seen some guys experiencing this, while others do get the full amount. Has anyone measured precisely in order to detect how must you "lose"? I want to get 5 real cm, so I think I will do 5.5, but I'm still worried about it.

From my calculations there should be almost no lose.Maybe I am wrong..

Yeah, that's why I ask for "empirical" evidence from people who do get measure. Some seem to lose a bit, and others don't. It's weird. Since I do Precise, I wont be able to measure properly during lenghtening. I think I will do it lying on the floor before surgery, and then again when I'm at 5.5. If there is a 5 cm difference, that's it for me.

Yeah, but one thing is using walker and another to measure properly. I think I would not be able to keep perfect posture for measuring like I do now. In order to avoid problems, I do measure only at night, at my "lowest".

I agree with all of you that, in theory, the difference should be irrelevant. However there are users who have noticed this. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that SNC did 8 and, when measured, had 7.3. That's why I'm curious if someone has really measured properly. In the past I have measured obsessively, to the milimitre, and always at my lowest, so I think I will be able to check this in an "empirical" way lol

Waking up at 8am and measuring at 9am will be different from 10am, 1 addittional hour, and measuring at night at 8pm will be different from 12pm, and depends how much of day you stood and walked, layed down for 30 minutes or not, etc
Point is, measuring your stature is not reliable if you want it down to the mm

even the magnification adjusted xray can be wrong and probably not accurate to the millimeter

in the end, i think the only surefire way to measure accuracy to the mm is the max out your nail to 8cm according to erc, then keep running it for extra day or a week despite being 8cm, keep going EVEN while its technically 8cm on erc already, keep going, maxing out the nail will be exactly 80mm.

Or better yet, no need to worry for a few decimals of mm.  no one can tell it will just be a personal neurotic thought

I do agree. The issue is that I do this for neurotic reasons hahahaha I do can meausure my lowest. When I measure at night I'm 172.1. After measuring like 4-5 times it goes down to 171.7, but never less than that
