Quote from: Sweden on August 07, 2014, 12:55:14 AMYou 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....
What do you mean?....That your friend in dr.sarin butchers house lengthend BOTH tibia and femur at the same time?. Also how come he could do all THAT and now walk around like it's nothing. One moment you hear leg lengthening will fk you up for life and bla bla armageddon pain...And then on the other side we have these stories. Like yours..i mean you don't look bad you are doing frikking leg kicks in the air. If that is what we can expect post operation...then LL is rather SAFE.
Do you know the wingspan of your buddy in the house?. He and me are pretty much equal in height. And i am deffently doing cross lengthening if he did so..defenitly.
I went with a friend of my to smoke a joint in a rural area on a mountain and i was astonished to realize how fking agile and in controll i was of my body movements. i was literally climbing 90¨ degree mountains and dropping from heights. I guess that is what will be missing after the surgery.
Also i just want to put on a pair of loafers and go down to the club/bar and not have height even come into my mind/awarness. I hope that will be doable at 5'11-6'0.
your body looks good Sweden, very good proportions. 
I like that photo. and I think the mask/balaclava is cool
Time for a little update.
I think a lot has improved and I cannow go for jogs and even fast run almost whenever I want to. It is still a little difficult and I get extremely exhausted. My stamina is still horrible.
I can feel some aches in my feet sometimes and I still lack some ROM in my ankles.
I can kick really good now and the other day I did a jumping spinning roundhouse kick. It went well.
Still have a bit x-legs in my legs, especially the left. It doesn't hurt when I run but it looks bad I think.
I'm supposed to have X-rays in 2 weeks. I'll post the pictures then.
I feel like +80% recovered.
you earlier mentioned muscle reaction time was slower. did your muscle reaction time improve now??
and all the best for ur recovery. im eyeing your diary intensely as im into sports that require agility and quickness.
I am a little bit faster now but it's nowhere near as it once were.
I think I can get much quicker if I keep running and doing explosive jumps in the gym.

Didn't you mention earlier that you had problems in the ankles?

Yes I did, all the time.
It is way better now. No aches on the sides of my feet and barely anything on the front of my shins as it used to whenever I felt an impact.
Right now it's my stamina that's the worse part. It's been really difficult to improve it but I have my hopes this summer.
Winter time in Sweden is like the dark ages. Everyone's just committing suicide here now.

Excellent, I was a bit concerned but I should have checked your updates

Can you explain?

Sure, this country sucks so bad now so nobody wants to stay here. There is a clear "white flight" and even me and my wife are planning to leave this hell hole.
Just need to finish my school first
hey bro if u wanna be quicker u can try plyometrics..
your update will be very helpful... cos I play bball..
the endurance thing is worrying, MDOW experiences it too...
so there's a few issues: agility(ROM), endurance and reaction times?
