Quote from: Philosopher on August 31, 2023, 09:22:46 PMI just get lowkey annoyed with comments like 'you'll absolutely regret it', 'it's a death sentence' and so on, without any detailed explanations whatsoever.  The fact is, as I presented, there are people who reached these gains. Could you please at least explain how exactly would he get 'f*cked up'? If you are claiming something, please make a solid case for it.

I provided you with an example on the exact comment you quoted.  MDOW did too much on his tibias (around 8CM) and hit a complication (I think it was tarsal tunnel but Im not sure) which he is dealing with many years later. He said he wishes he did less.  Another complication is ballerina foot.  8CM on your tibias is huge.  Thats like the safe limit for your femurs.

Quote from: Philosopher on August 31, 2023, 09:51:56 PMDo you know any articles on it?

https://boneandjoint.org.uk/article/10.1302/0301-620x.91b12.22418#rR2 This paper contains the following statement.

achondroplastic patients show increased ligament and joint laxity, their muscle length exceeding bone length before lengthening.

This seems to be a quote from Paley's article below.

Thanks. Do you know how would that be different to hypochondroplastic patients, if at all?

I am not familiar with the difference between achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia, but since both seem to be FGFR3 gene problems, I would guess that the characteristics of short bones, increased ligament and joint laxity are similar.
