hello guys, me again with the mock up:
evening height 179.6cm
morning height 181.5cm
wingspan 183cm
inseam(measured standing with back against a wall and sliding a book up between my legs untill it stops) 82.2cm
footsize 12(46euro)
hand size 23cm
arm length(from middle finger to end of shoulder) 80cm +/- a few mm
goal height 184.6 at my lowest, 186.5 at my highest

what do you think looks best, and do my arms look short in the mock ups, can i pull off the 6'1" look?

Quote from: kunta kinte on August 04, 2014, 12:51:12 AMwhy so angry, just because im not a midget im not alowed to do the surgery? get real man, if you have an issue, go work it out somewhere else. this forum is for people to exchange experiance and help each other not to be douchebags. =)


No one is midget here. Anyone of us make 7 cm on one segment we are exactly where you are now. So don't delude yourself by thinking you are not short by any standard.

What im saying is. You are gonna do this surgery only once and you are already of above average height. So your proportions will already be eligible for the procedure without further investigation on proportional dilemmas. get 6-7 cm and call it the day.

Go and work out in the gym instead. You're too fat for surgery.

I understand your desire for wanting to be taller. I'm 179 now myself and not happy.

5cm on tibias is enough and you'll heal up alright.

What bodyfat % would you recommend for surgery. I would assume not to low since you loose weight during the surgery,

Both look fine to me. Femur looks a bit more natural in my opinion. What's your sitting height? What pant inseam fits you best?

I would say not more than 15-18%.

There were fat guys that barely could fit their legs in the rings. They also had infections in some pin sites.

Most of the times fat guys haven't prepared their muscles, tendons, nerves for the surgery and have a hard time lengthening.
Their muscles are not used to large stress.

Even if you loose weight during lengthening you will gain fat%. It is your muscles that you loose.
You can be a really skinny guy but still have 20+% body fat.
It depends on what you put in your pie hole every day. mock up opinions?

I was terrible against myself with lots of Red Bull(Damn you Max  mock up opinions? ), chocolate, sweets, Domino's Pizza and other crap.
I just fell in to the trap bc otherwise I always eat very strict, no sugar or salt and always prepared for the next competition.

Sugar is my weakness  mock up opinions? I need my coach to tell me what to eat.
We're going to start this in the end of this month.  mock up opinions?

You don't know how to measure yourself.
