I could really do everything. The 720 kick was my favorite, you spin 720 degrees in the air and throw a kick. Breaks everything you hit.

It was difficult to show the shoes in the video, you're right.

The first brown ones are fancy fancy dress shoes, no lift more than normal 2-3cm.

The second one I try to display the 10cm lift it is supposed to give me. The black shoes.
I also try to measure myself against the pole which I kick - with both shoes on.

10cm+ shoes give you 7cm of height. It's just the way it is. With them on I'm 185/186cm tall. Pretty terrific feeling.

Tack ska du ha Jätten!

Alright. I'll try to copy the updates.

Great work Rivers!!

I never ever wear those shoes any more.
I just wanted to show what it looks like with lifts on.

My pants haven't been used in 3 years. I was happy to see they were too short. Almost none of my other pants were too short when I got back.

It's raining today so I'll try to make a running video tomorrow.

I've measured my wingspan to 180 a couple of times but even 178 and 179.

I am only 180 on a very good day. I'm not 178 or 179, just like my wingspan.


I would soooooo like to be 5-6cm taller. That's like nothing, but it makes a world of difference.
Still undecided.

Edit Post

Mostly passing my wingspan. I'm equal right now.
I imagine 5cm doesn't do much regarding visual aspects.

But also sitting height is one enormous factor. ALL of my friends have taller sitting height than me, ALL of them(they were also all taller than me before)
If I become 5cm taller then I think it'll be FU when we sit down. I can't stretch like a jerk, I have to relax when I sit or else it'll look weird, more weird.

Other than that there is nothing holding me back.

I have an interview next Monday at the local flight school. If I pass I will start studying to become a pilot in September. Then I can't do it in 2 years.

Quote from: Slim_tim on April 25, 2014, 02:35:51 PMWho cares about proportions and standards. You are a short guy you should be lucky if you can get to average height. All these demands like you know wtf your doing. just get over 175 cm and it's all good. everything after that is bonus.

Ease explain. Didn't get **** of anything above 

-----------------

I ran like 1 yard today. It looked pretty god. Then my ankles started to hurt.

I'm on my way to the gym now. Going for new records.

Feeling happy today.
Copy/Paste:

As from today I can say that I reached a recovery level of 55% or more.

I did some Taekwondo and my friend was stressing me like we used to before and I wasn't late to join in. We kicked each other and I saw an opening..... Just out of pure instinct I jumped spin kicked him in the head, knocking him out for a full minute.
I was shocked!
Everyone was shocked. They just stood there. My friend was on the floor.

I woke him up and my Master took care of him. Then my Master said to him: "You know who you're up against. Stay more alert"
Maybe he was hinting to me like "nice work" or something. I didn't get that.

My friend continued and he said he was ok. I said I was sorry. Even I was shocked that I was able to do it, and at the same time very happy.
This makes the training so much more fun now. I can do much more than I thought.

I even tried to run around the house when I got back home and it worked pretty well too. But my stamina is terrible. I get totally exhausted only after 15 seconds.
This is also something I'm not used to since I've always been able to do everything with ease.

So - I have passed 50% of recovery. This might be someone else's 150% but I'm only comparing to myself and nothing else.

I've been thinking about the kick a lot. I'm higher up now with a further reach so the impact must have been huge.
This makes me feel I can start competing again locally, smaller tournaments, and that gives a whole new joyful meaning to my life

My left(the most twisted leg) knee aches when I run and just slightly now. Like 0,5-1 on the pain scale. Right knee is fine.
It certainly doesn't look good when I run but I am doing it and feel happy about it.

I'm getting there - slowly 

Have a happy weekend, I know I will
