Muscle Weakness During Lengthening

Edit Post

You may be experiencing over-worked muscles, due to walking for an hour everyday, it's good to challenge yourself and push new limits every week when you work out (progressive overload) but the muscles need time to recover, you NEED to take days off, the muscles get stronger on the rest period, not during the work out. take 2-3 days off where you only do stretches, I personally wouldn't do physical therapy every single day at your stage in lengthening, I would let my muscles rest and I didn't experience significant fatigue

I totally agree with the rest part

And progressive build up

I would rest totally on weekends.

Even now in consolidation I rest one day and push myself the next day then rest again

We have muscle memory so if we take it slow and listen to our body it will be a great result.

I tried to go back to swimming and thinking because it’s water and no gravity I started getting severe knee pain. When stopped pain was gone and rest let muscles recover.

So yes it’s combination as mentioned above

Yes I distracted to 7.8

I had no wide legs or duck ass

I had strict regime of physio for 2 hours till 7 cm and I also had care taker who stretched me 4 times extra per day
Besides that diet was key

Paley also did ITB as he said I was v tight

This was truly my reason for success

Hope it helps

I have no duckass, but extremely wide legs. In fact they started at 1.5cm, but Betz doesn't do ITB releases. Most patients who have had it, had very little problem with wide legs. You had even fewer problems because you worked hard as well. I'm considering asking Betz if I could do it with another doctor. ITB cannot be stretched, only released, so I'm worried if I'm able to narrow my legs at all. :/

Small update - I'm at approximately 3cm today and when I tried to walk this morning my legs were extremely tired. Looks like the next two cm are going to be really tough
