Tall people earn more on average, but that doesn't have to have any impact on the individual level - even as a short person, you can still achieve a good income. That's like saying statistically speaking many Indians live in London, but you can still live there if you're not Indian.

Quote from: Peaceout on January 08, 2017, 07:57:41 PMWell..idk that is kinda fked up.I was thinking that might apply to males who below 5'7 or around,but some of that websites say it exists until 6'.
Anyway so you want to do that another 4 cm because of your proportionally long tibia right?Not because you still didnt satisfied with your new height?(Ofc you will be taller which is even better but i just wonder if that is the main reason or not.)
What do you exactly feel in a freaking tall country like that as a 5'11 guy?
And im also curious about your x-legs.So if you have x-legs you must be taller than your current height with straight legs right?(i mean after you handle the problem
and finally what do you think about that video that you mentioned couple months earlier?I totally understand if you dont want to record.Im just curious about your progress.

My dream height is 186cm, but I will look like a spider if I do another 6-7cm on femurs.
So 4cm is still pushing it a little but doable.

X-legs barely takes 5millimeter from your height.

I don't feel tall here in Sweden. The average Swedish guy is taller.

As soon as it gets warmer I will make the video.

You say it in nearly every post. More than 5cm is too much, but would you have been happier truely with 5 cm? Ask yourself, if you'd have had the perfect relative painless experience with 5cm don't you think you'd be just as 'grass is always greener' about being 7cm+?

Yes. I would do femurs if I only did 5cm on tibia, agreed.

I’m still thinking of doing femurs. Not that I need it, but still.




I am doing fine. Left leg is twisted 4 degrees and that’s the way it is. Don’t think I can fix it with physical therapy.

I can run. Knees ache a day or two after a run.
My stamina sucks real bad. I mean terrible really. Can’t seem to get it better.

It’s been 5 years now, almost(next month) and life has turned to the better for sure.

I’m older so I know I can’t do all I could when I was 22. That’s life.

I still have the rods in my tibias and I’ll be keeping them. Knees will be destroyed if I take them out.

I’m glad I did it.
Still married to the same woman.
I earn tons of money, to the grade I could go to Guichet tomorrow if I really wanted to.
Maybe I’ll do my femurs - maybe I won’t. I don’t think I need to though, but 4 fast cm would be sooo sweet.

Taller is better. Being the tallest guy in the room is the greatest. I still have the looks so I’m getting enough attention from the ladies. Even gay people have tried their move more often now.

If I want to change anything it’s my physical appearance. I would be much more muscular like I was before. I know I only need discipline but man is it hard these days.

I still do martial art but have changed to kickboxing. I’m doing pretty well there too.

I can, when I’m warmed up, stillreach my toes and I can still do the splits.

NEVER QUIT!

Thanks for the update Sweden, always nice to see how the journey is years down the line.

Too bad about the complications, but it seems that it's a comparatively small price to pay for such a big confidence boost.

With my winter boots I’m ~183cm tall and I enjoy every minute of it.

I’ll be getting a new passport soon and I’ll try to make them print “height: 184cm”.

That’ll be sweet since all of my other passports says 173.....

Hey Sweden,

How sure are you on the "your knees getting destroyed" if you remove the rods and foreign objects from your legs?

I kind of suspect that the metal rods inside your bones affects physical performance a lot, and could be a big factor in your lack of stamina.

Our bones have elasticity and on a small scale move elastically when we run to adapt to the forces subjected on the body. The metal does not have elasticity and thus makes it harder for the body to run.
