Thanks Tall. 
Yeas, the sitting down part is already uncomfortable.
Since my butt is very skinny still I'm lower than everybody else who is even my former height.
This feels a bit disturbed.
Clothes hide a lot - but never sitting height.

I've done lots of Ne Wasa before and trained with the world champion but it's a huge risk doing judo post LL.
It's impossible to gain enough strength to stand against the force put on your legs if you happen to get your leg locked and then thrower on it.
Either your tibia break really bad or you'll need a total knee replacement.
I'm not trying to burst your dreams or anything but I hold a higher belt in judo as well and have seen terrible leg breakage in competitions. These guys weighed 90-110kg and were strong as no one you ever met.
Imagine having longer limbs. They'll break much easier.
Starting in standing position is very dangerous.
On your knees is safer but be careful the first year now.
Can you elaborate a bit why judo throws are more dangerous when having higher knees, is it as simple as having a higher base= worse balance (or rather less stability), are longer legs in general a disadvantage in judo?
I mean i can understand that having higher knees makes it easier for the opponent to reach under the knee and grab it and i guess it makes it easier to trip with a sweep move too?
I assume this might mean freestyle wrestling would be more difficult for someone with longer legs/ higher knees too. But some of the best wrestlers like Yoel Romero and Daniel Cormier have long legs for their bodys. Brock Lesnar was a very good wrestler too (not just the fake kind) and he has very long legs.
Im very interested in this because i intend to train submission wrestling after i have recovered, and then later transition into mma. I wont try to become a proffessional. But some sparring and heavy training i would like to do, and maybe do some amateur bouts eventually.
In terms of breakage, supposedly the legs are supposed to be harder after LL (full recovery) i think.
yeah, definately not judo for few more months, but i really want it, my eyes kept looking at the mat and i wanted to go so bad. but i won't i can barely hold my self together while walking sometimes or even going down the stairs. no way judo right now. well tai-otoshi is my specialty but ill just will switch maybe to uchimata or another through is not the end of the world, before i was sick in judo i got my black belt in 3 years and trained with olympic medalist due to my age i couldn't really pursue it, im 30 and in every competition was getting hurt real bad, i got tired of it. fighting with 18 year old kids in their primes, but i love the sport u probably understand me. i had very short legs before, i think it wont matter my judo will just be different, people who get knee problems from judo is because they dont do it right, therefore that happens. i know i wont go as low as i did before but that would just change my style while fighting that's all, i need to adjust my judo to my new body proportions. will see
You don't have the same stability in your knees as before. You might fall to a position your knees can't stand and then you'll snap a tendon or something.
If you're very flexible your body can take the fall on your leg.
If it end up in an unnatural position you'll break the knee much more easier than before.
Try to get strong knees and legs after you finish LL.
I'm working now hard on getting my former muscles back - even though my coach advice against it. Smaller muscles can be quicker.
I just looked at this proportion picture and I'm confident I can take another 5cm on femurs next year. 
Standing up is no problems but sitting down will be.
I will guaranteed be the shortest among tall people around a table.
Maybe I shouldn't care, but nobody wants to be ridiculed. They won't say it to you sure, but anyway.
I got an appointment with my PT for some checkup in 2 weeks.
We will do a couple of tests to see how I developed.
I talked to her and then tried the leg extension machine they have. My old record was 40kg on it. Now I maxed out the machine doing 6 reps with 120kg.
I will try heavy squats tomorrow. So far I've only done with 30kg bc I'm on my toes when I'm fully down and have a hard time keeping the balance.
The last 10-15% of ROM in my feet are very difficult to achieve. It's not enough just standing on the edge on my toes with weights bc the knees then tend to bend a little so it's not a proper stretch.
I think building large shoulders will improve ones proportions too if you lengthen a lot.
I've spoken to my room mate from India who did 4+7cm and he is up and running and doing weight training a couple of times in the weeks. He has some minor aches but nothing serious.
He went from 168 to 179, so we are now equal tall 
I've seen some pictures where he still wears his lifts. Cool thing to walk around ~185ish tall....
When you say your old record on that leg extension was 40 KG, i assume that isnt your pre LL record since it would mean you had already become stronger than before LL 
But do you know how much you could do on a leg extension machine before LL?
Did that roomate of yours look proportional in your opinion? (with or without lifts)
Btw yeah i think you can do 5 on femurs and still look good standing.
40kg pre LL?? 
Sure, with one leg an a thousand times in my sleep.
I've always maxed out those machines and even then managed to do 10-14 reps. Therefore I can't say what my maximum was.
But using all the weights put some stress to your knees and I was always careful in that machine.
Nowadays I pump 14-20 reps and 5-8 sets until my quads explode and burn for 4 days.
With his lifts on he didn't look proportionate but everyone can see if you wear lifts bc the shoes are bulkier than regular shoes. It's like walking on large bricks. Det ser alltså för jävligt ut!
(Yeah, standing up only)

ah haha jag tänkte lite fel där med vikten, det är sent på natten är min ursäkt xD
I agree those elevator kinds of shoes dont look good at all, nike airmax type shoes are the biggest lifts i would use
You look in really good shape 
, you sure can do 5 cm and look good. Only thing is your left leg's axis seems bent, hope you can fix that when you do your second LL.
I'm sorry if I missed it, but you previously said that you only turned out 1,78 after the surgery even tho you lengthened for 1,80. How are things now? What height are you, and if you are shorter, do you know the reason for it?
sweden, you look good friend, and your video where look your ratios tibiaes femur and you look pretty porporcionado are, I think your torso is long so you do not look so out of porporcion. I personally would not say not risk another surgery, 1.78 to 1.80 ctms is a good height, even if you might i cant to aspire to that height in my body, if I arrive at 1.67 ctms'll be fine.
I have a question, wich is your originally mediate your tibiaes? and how your femur? in ctms
thank you
