Squatting and general balance issues by lengthening femurs

Edit Post

Quote from: anaverageperson on October 05, 2020, 05:43:36 PMYeah not sure on this one. I know that Cyborg 4 life lengthened tibias and was still able to maintain squatting after LL. I think lengthening will definitely throw off your biomechanics/center of gravity so the movement will be different for you. As in, if you're already having a lot of trouble hitting depth with the squat then lengthening the femurs is not going to do you any favors. Generally speaking hitting high bar depth in squat is associated with shorter femurs (esp. relative to tibias).

Cyborg for life did not do CLL. Misinformation, plz no trick or lie ty

Victor did not do cosmetic limb lengthening. He did one leg for a medical problem.

My apologies, you're right. He lengthened one tibia/fibula and not both. Regardless, he was able to regain athletic ability.

5cms is the sweet spot for height gained/athleticism maintenance in my opinion. the guy in the video squats pretty well and low, he has to adjust his upper body forward but gets a good range of motion to squat. I can't go that low because of how much I lengthened but I still get a good pump squatting as low as I can.

Hey Movie, Thanks for replying. Is there anything you think you cannot do due to LL or is it a matter of just training more? How much has LL thrown off your biomechanics and are there activities/sports you don't think you could be able to do due to LL?

Of course, he has a medical deformity. Fixing the issue will result in better squatting.

Plz do not use him as justification for CLL. He is not CLL it is totally different. He has natural proportions after the surgery, the surgery actually help him b more natural

Not the case with CLL
