Life after a full recovery

You can do sports some days but never like before.

There is no concrete proof that full recovery is impossible. One has to consider that the movement and functionality of a longer leg will always be different from a smaller one, so if you cannot move exactly the same way like you could while shorter, then that doesnt necessarily indicate that you are worse now, it might just feel different.

Yea true
Things like
Muscle tares in training due to an already stretched muscle
And can your legs cope with impacts and things like explosive movements
There my worries

Obviously things will feel different and have to adjust

I'd like to hear from ppl who have had LL
And have returned to sports successfully

Thanks

You should definitely take Sweden's comment seriously. He is probably the only true athlete who has done LL on this forum.

I'm more of a gym hobbyist than an athlete. Before LL I was a couch potato. The only sport I watch is MMA/Boxing, so I will be showing you my MMA this weekend (I work full-time during weekdays). I will try my best to perform and not disappoint!

When you are taller, you definitely have more advantages in fights. It's a lot easier attacking downward than upward. However, if the guy launch at your legs, you will have a hard-time maintaining your balance. But if any guys want to pick on me now, I don't mind standing my ground.

Regarding your question about sex drive, I have lost it. Before LL, I always go out on dates, but now I don't. So that's the only difference. I haven't felt any pain anywhere in the body since the frames were removed last summer. So the issues varies between individuals.

So the video will be made this weekend, stay tune!

When you say things like like maintaining your balance
I don't understand why ?
Is that to do with muscle strength or just getting used to the extra height

If I train in a pair of Nike airs
Or where boots my balance is fine
I would only look to lengthen this amount you see

It  will be good to here more from Sweden what sort of training he does how things have been effected if possible

What is the best way forward frames or internal
I've heard of knees problems with internal ?


I'm not an expert but in training I have a lot of knowledge

With your sex drive
Maybe your body is still recovering plus with the Mma your doing and maybe more it could be pushing your body hard and mentally
Almost like over training affect
Which will affect sex drive

Try plenty of protein in your diet and enough carbs also try a natural test producer might kick you into gear  anabol 19 USN is quite good

Hope it helps

I agree.

I would have never done LL in my twenties because of all the sports that I was competing in.
Once you do LL you can forget about the level you had reached before LL.
I decided to do LL at the age of 45. Sure, I didn't know about LL before that age. But still, when I was thinking about doing LL in april 2013, a huge worry of mine was whether I could do sports at an acceptable level again.  I came to the conclusion that this will not be possible but Iwent for LL anyhow because my body was already completely fked up after 30 years of sports.
For example, I can't really play good tennis any more because 30 years of tennis have fked up my right shoulder, ellbow and wrist. Soccer is over, too. If you play soccer at the age of 40 plus, you are constantly gonna have injuries (unless you avoid fast running).
I completely fked up my right knee in a horrible accident in the mountains 8 years ago.
So, I guess you get the conclusion: the sports life that I loved so much was over anyway, so I might as well do LL.

If you are under 30 and sports is a huge part of your life: do not do LL.

What about gym and street workout? Is it possible to pimp your body seriously after LL? Or there could be problems with leg days? Ty.

Dude, You should be happy if you can walk normally again after the surgery. Nevermind putting 90 kilos on your back and doing 12 reps. wtf?

Edit Post

  I don't do that now when I'm fit, just using my body for almost every single excercise.

I will resume workout immediately after standing up on crutches. I will only train my upper body, core and back, however, and I am allowed to do leg extension (quadriceps) and leg curl (hamstrings). I won't go under heavy weights afoot. Squat, for instance, is out of the question until full consolidation. So is leg press (as it places a vertical pressure on the bone, which should be avoided).

Let's say the normal test of fitness ability

Push Up, 2.4Km Run,  Sprint 200M, Standing Broad Jump
Climbing Stairs, Skipping Rope, Climbing Gym Wall

All these are measurable fitness conditions that you can put numbers to.  Will it be possible to do all these after recovery?  How many % of pre op recovery is possible?
