Quote from: GodsGrace on August 27, 2021, 01:33:30 PMWow. Amazing. That's a fantastic recovery and progress. Thanks for the videos, SNC. It's really inspiring!!
Thanks very much.
My pleasure. I will continue to check and see if there is any questions or video requests for any certain moves 
Quick Update:
I have been able to speed up my walks (from 13+ minutes for a mile) to 12.40+ minutes for each mile and I can keep that speed for least 6 consecutive miles.
I walk on streets; there are some uphill and downhill areas, but overall I don't think that has a major impact on my speed.
I feel like I am very close to hitting my limit. My walks are so intense that my shin and upper feet spots burn at start; however keeping the tense walk, after a while the burn stops!
I would need to change my walking form to be more like marathon style if I wanna lower my time to below 12 minutes for each mile. Something that I feel a bit shy to do on streets 
But can StrydeNailChallenge duck walk with a low stance continuously for 60 seconds?
Stryde, you still feel good towering over random people at the grocery checkout lines?

Btw, how do you feel, like in general?
As far as CLL related and my legs, I have felt beyond normal for a long time. Month 5 post-op was the start of feeling normal for me; as pain was gone and I could do things I could pre surgery like fast swimming, walking, and jogging. I think by month 7 or so, I felt like I was getting even better than pre-CLL thanks to the consistent workout. Month 8 I did the nail removal which slowed me down for about two weeks, but then I resumed my activities gradually. If you remember one month after nail removal in Month 9 post-op I was running quite fast (e.g., check my video at the beach).
Whole my life I have been extremely active, but I never had the consistency I've had post CLL. Thanks to the consistent several-hour daily workouts, my legs are in my shape ever. That is not the case for my upper body. I have not been able to swim regularly during the pandemic and that has negatively impacted my upper body. I do sit-ups and chin-ups but no weight lifting. I hope I can resume swimming soon.

How was the callus during the last xray update...what did the doc had to say about it?
I think I had 3 x-rays post CLL in Dr. M.'s office. For the first one he said great! The second one he said it's too great!! cause of the extreme callus growth. He then prescribed two weeks of accelerated extraction (1.33mm per day). On their one, he said my callus had completely healed and I could do nail removal in month 7 (i.e., March 2021). I was not in rush, so I thought I would do nail removal in one year, but as soon as I heard about the stryde recall, I scheduled the removal and the earliest the hospital and him were available were at month 8.

Do you feel like the strength in your legs has returned how much wrt pre ll strength would you say?
I would say more than 100%, perhaps 120% based on a rough estimate in how fast I can walk and run and also my squat power.
I feel my legs are much stronger than before. This is only thanks for consistent workout, meaning I would most likely achieve the same agility and power had I not done CLL, but if I had done the same workout routines.

Do you think training rigorously will bring back the explosiveness and agility? I guess your flexibility is very good judging from the previous videos...
Yes, I am sure I have not yet seen my peak and I will continue to get stronger and faster.
I must be at least as fast as pre-CLL in running, but most likely faster.
At walking I have no doubt I am faster than pre-CLL.
I tried swimming at month 5 and I did not achieve my best time, cause I was afraid to push it too much. I will report my swimming timing as soon as I get a chance, but I am hoping I am at least back to my highest speed pre-CLL.

apart from cll, how's life...how are you doing...I hope everythings good...
Best wishes mate!
It's all good. I am working on a couple things, that are super challenging for me and keep my mind very busy. It's been a long time that for days I don't not think of my CLL as long as I am at home. The only times I am reminded of my CLL, is when I get out and see myself taller than normal. But the satisfaction I get being done with the CLL challenge makes me much happier than being taller. For me height was not the main reason I did this surgery.
My mind is so madly in love with doing crazy things that I would have done this CLL even if it was the last day of my life. I just wanted to cross it off of the list of crazy things I wanted to do in this life. My next challenges are brainy I better work more on my brain
What's your 100m sprint time now. What was it before if you had any record? Thanks!

Hi Want-3-inches,
I had never tried it before seeing your message. I just watched a youtube video to make sure I understand exactly how a duck walk with a low stance should look like. Then I tried it. I believe I can do it, but I have to first do it really for at least 60 seconds before making an official claim. I will try it and if that works I will make a video of it.
