Thanks for the post, Abdull!
Since you requested, I'll post a video of me running down the stairs soon!
hehe, u're doing good 
Just curious, what's your current flexibility on SLR test and what was it right before the surgery? (mine was ~ 120° pre-op, ~60° at the end of LL, n now at 8 month post-op probably a bit over 90°)
A video of u running at your max speed (like on a treadmill, no matter if it's only 10 sec) would be great, but if u can make a video of u climbing a skycrapper in 2 mins like spiderman tha's good too 
Also did u experience the loss of stamina? cuz personnally i did^^
Hey Shyshy,
I'm not exactly sure about the degree/angle of my flexibility, but it's more than 90 degrees for sure. My physio has a clearer view about this. I'll ask him on Thursday. Sure, I'll try to make a running video. I don't think I experienced a loss of stamina

GZ!!! Not even 6 months post-op and after 7cm, over 90° on SLR test is really impressive, u have very good flexibility on harmstrings. U can probably put your palms on floor, maybe even near your heels, would be cool if could show us
About the loss of stamina, that's also very good. I personally experienced it when i started squat at 6 months post-op, it was not only the loss of strength, it was also a huge lack of stamina. Also, did u start body-building of legs?
Guys? There's something I'd like to share with you..
I'm sexy and I know it

Nope. I wouldn't be able to put my palms on the floor, tbh, like I used to before surgery, without bending my legs. There's still time for that. Yeah, I did start bodybuilding on my legs, albeit slowly.

Anyway evrything comes back with time.
Also did u ask your physiotherapist about the SLR test ? cuz far over 90° after 7 cm and not even 6 months post-op is really really impressive.
About body-building on legs, i felt soreness on the upper part of quads but it has now disappeared. Do u feel the same?
I guess it's wiser to start with very low weight (even just bodyweight work out, HannibalForKing style ) just to reactivate muscles.
I'm thinking about a second LL surgery on my tibiae. I have a consultation with my doctor tomorrow (regular follow up, x-rays will be taken, nothing special). I'll tell him about it & I'm curious about the response I'll get. He'll probably think I'm mad, haha.
P.S: Is there any Spanish forum member? Jajajaja.. Sorry dude, I had to do this.
wow another surgery.. are u looking for another 7 cm or less !? and do u think your hand will be short compare to your body!!
I'm considering doing the tibiae and the femur and i'm thinking to add 4.75 in each so it will be 9.5 in total, do u think it is worth it since i'm 165 cm and I will be at 174.5 if I go for it

I don't care about proportions at all.
I naturally had a long torso and very short legs, as well as a muscular upper body. My proportions could handle two lengthenings easily.
Realistically, I should aim for 5-6 cm, making me 177-178 cm. Due to my naturally stiff achilles tendons, tibiae LL would be extremely difficult in my case. My tendons are terrible, really terrible. As far as I could remember, I always had the ballerina foot problem.
180 cm is my dream height. I will aim for 8 cm.
In my case, even a gastrocnemius-soleus release and vigorous physiotherapy might not be sufficient.
But I'll try.

It's a huge change. But don't add 4.75 to each man, that's funny. Go all the way you can up to the point your body lets you. Aim for 6-7 cm at least per segment. Maybe one LL will be sufficient for you.
