I go by what a doctor told someone once.
I personally asked Dr. Lee what he thought about this (lengthening past 6 cm) and he has told me that from his experience in talking to former lengthening patients (2-3 years post recovery) those that only lengthened 5 cm recovered fully and their previous athleticism returned close to 100% to pre-LL levels. On the other hand, those who chose to lengthen between 6 and 7 centimeters recovered 100% in performing daily functions (walking, light jogging, etc), BUT only recovered about 60-70% of their pre-LL athleticism when engaging in serious sports/strenuous activities (full sprinting, jumping, basketball, rugby,etc..). Additionally, those that lengthened beyond 7 cm saw an ever greater decline in their previous athletic abilities
I think 6cm is the safe zone max.
but I still have that stupid fking voice in the back of my fking head........ it keeps saying........ how about 6.5cm FP...... you can do it....... youll be fine.......... imagine if you could have done it and you didn't go for it....... all those other people did more than 6cm.......... you can do it.......... DO IT! lol
Does he do Achilles' tendon lengthening, though? That one study on cosmetic ll patients found that all of those whom lengthened between 4-12 cm on their tibias regained their pre-ll athletic ability ONLY when they did Achilles' tendon lengthening.
