Quote from: five_six on February 26, 2022, 01:00:43 AMReally cool to meet another cs player on here, hopefully I can hit faceit lvl 10 sometime this year lol.
It's crazy how genetics and growth works, with delays and such. I personally know someone at my school who's always been shorter than me, but over quarantine grew to 6'2. Crazy stuff. Fingers crossed with good diet and discipline you can make it to 6'1+ without surgery! That'd be the dream. It's definitely a solid height in northern Europe, US too.
I'm going to try to hit 8cm on both the femurs and tibias. Given my age, current flexibility, and time, I should at least have a fighting chance. And yep, I plan to start my diary when I get my femur surgery in June.
I haven't played in ages but do you want to have a match sometime? It'd be fun xD
I feel like genetics is the ceiling, the growth itself can be affected by the environment (exercise, nutrition, stress, sleep, stretching, and sun exposure).
That's a very interesting case, some people grow so quickly in a matter of months! I'm really excited for next year as I'll be able to tell whether I hit my goal or not. I guess I'm young enough to brush it off as a late growth spurt. I feel like people demonise you for using HGH / doing LL surgery, Messi is a prime example of being mocked for HGH.
6'1 would be so sweet, I'm burning all my savings so I can reach that goal. Let's see how it goes I suppose!
8cm on femurs + 8cm on tibiae is a very ambitious goal. Are you not concerned about the side effects? Have you considered something along the lines of Paley's option 5 (https://limblengthening.org/lengthening-strategies/)? It would be a lot safer than 2 surgeries!

I private messaged you my steam profile if you want to add me!
I totally understand how 8cm femur AND 8cm tibia (especially tibia) is very uncommon, but again, given that I'm younger and probably more flexible than most CLLers, and am doing both surgeries one year apart, I believe I have a chance at this. Meck and MyEvolution are good examples of people who lengthened "more than recommended." Also as shown in my previous posts, my proportions won't look too weird afterward. I already have longish arms, and apparently longer legs looks better on a guy anyway. We'll see what happens!

Fair enough buddy. Have you considered doing 4cm femurs 4cm tibia 2x? You’d be able to see if 16cm is really for you! I’m only concerned that you might get an injury from 8cm at once in a bone. Look after your health! 4cm in each segment with HGH, hydrotherapy and a good diet twice sounds a lot safer. Dr Ian said that 4cm as a one-off is possible without complications. Best of luck with your journey!

I'd rather minimize the # of surgeries I get if possible. The doctor I'm going with said he doesn't insert 4 nails at a time for obvious reasons, and going through two LL surgeries in less than a month's span seems pretty traumatic to me.
B4 my 8cm Femur LL i could easily palm the floor. i had a 20 cm sit and reach score (bear in mind i have a 93 cm sitting height, and you have 106 cm so your "Flexibility maybe more about short legs than actual muscle/joint flexibility) , after 8cm LL i prob have a 2cm sit and reach, and can barely reach touch the ground whilst standing - keep in mind your flexibility will most likely decrease with age!.
I am 179 cm right now, i wear 4 cm lifts and dream of another ~ 4cm LL on Tibs (to even up my T/F ratio and achieve normal L/B ratio), anything above 6 cm on tibs is deemed as risky by most LLdocs i have spoken with (Mumbai, Barcelona, vietnam, Melbourne), Anyway I doubt i ever will do the Tib CLL ($$ and time off work considerations), and i may regret the loss in flexibilty as well.

You reached a great height! Have you noticed any side effects? Also, how has your life changed since LL (all aspects).
How did you manage to get an XRAY to check your growth plates? I'm 17 and im wondering if theyre open too.. if so.. HGH brah!

I asked a private consultant about HGH as I believed that my growth pattern was unusual. We agreed to go through with it and I was given a referral to get an MRI for my legs. Received good news and started the treatment.
A small update:
On Monday, I will see an endocrinologist. If I manage to convince him with the evidence from the private consultant, I will possibly get high dosages of HGH for free for 12-24 months! I am so nervous, let's see how it goes. My goal is to reach 5'10-5'11 (2-3in to go) with HGH and gain 2 inches with LL.
