New guy questions

Edit Post

Thank you very much. British born and bred, certainly got a reet Lancashire accent anyway.

I'm happy with where I am now.. 2012 I stopped semi professional cycling at about 70kg and I'm now upto 120kg with a lot of hard work. Eating anything and everything.

Looking at the pictures I would like to maybe go for 8cm lengthening atleast in the shorter leg anyway. What would anyone else think? 10cm would be nice though

You look fine in your pic... But do what you think is best.


... Pablo. Couldnt be fked arguing. Too many melodramatic people on this forum for me to keep up with.

I am done. I cannot believe people in this forum are such naive. They respond to a fictive person.

I'm lost for words Pablo... If you think I don't exist you've got issues. I've posted bloody pictures of myself. And you can clearly see with the photo next to the door frame that I'm hardly tiny so I don't see why my size/strength is an issue too you?

If it helps 350kg is a 1rm strapped and belted and I've not trained in a few months and put on a bit of weight..

I think you'd look great with 2-3 inches added to your tibia bones. According, to Dr. Donghoon Lee, most people who lengthen two inches make a full recovery in every way, but those who lengthen more don't usually recover all of their athleticism. But most of his patients start at around five foot five. Since you're six foot seven, you could *probably* lengthen 3 inches and fully recover athletically. The thing with this surgery, though, is that no outcome is guaranteed.

Yer that's what I'm after I think.. 3-4inch really if I can.. Just short of 7ft which would be epic but I think I'd feel a lot better in myself about my proportions. At the moment I feel I look silly.. If I get fitted clothes I'm extra long on the top and only a 32" pants which is about medium or something.

Main thing will be seeing if I can sort out the height difference aswell to level me out a bit

Hey mate, you're a pretty special case.

I think your proportions would improve drastically if you lost weight around the belly and wore your pants a little higher.

Then you wouldn't have to spend all your money, be out of a job for 6mo-1 year, and risk death/amputation/fractures/pulmonary embolism and all that crazy stuff.. know what I mean?

That said, if you really want to be taller, go git it!

Cheers for that.. I'm not sure why the picture looks as bad as it does.. I've put on abit of weight but that shot was awful haha!!

Just done abit of research and British basket ball player Paul sturges has an inside leg of 44in at 7ft7 if (theoretically) my legs grew to the same length I would also be about 7ft7

So logically I've got the body of a 7ft person and the legs of a 5ft person haha!!
