Who 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.

Im not sure if he's being sarcastic but he's saying that if you are short don't worry about
proportions, sitting height, going beyond 15% original bone length, soft tissue damage etc
as long as you get over a certain height its all good.
Not everyone wants to risk looking weird or becoming self-conscious about something else about their body after they've "fixed" their height. And some people don't care. There's no right or wrong here, but there are a few limits where people not even knowing about LL would see that something's weird about a person's body, like that spidery/stilty look some can get.
I found this video on the other site now and found it interesting. He went from 5'6" to 5'9" so he lengthened about as much as Sweden but started off a little shorter. But unlike Sweden, it looks like he's got shorter arms, and it's kind of noticeable, especially when you see him from the sides. He probably has a wingspan closer to his original height. Short arms exaggerate the look of an unproportionally short torso on long legs, I think Sweden avoided to a large degree that because of his longer arms.
Wingspan can matter a lot, in my opinion!
I dont see anything strange on that guy. What do you prefer be 5'5 with good proportions or be 5'8 with a little less good proportions that only people in the forum can see?
I don't know what I'd prefer, I just think it's interesting how people's bodies are different and that prospective patients might want to figure out what they think of their own proportions and the lengthening limits they would be comfortable with. Someone with a longer wingspan will look slightly different from a guy with a more normal or shorter wingspan after lengthening. It's a potential factor for many, but not all. There haven't been many videos of leg lengtheners showing different proportions on the internet until now, so everyone is in a much better position to be informed about a thing like proportions compared to before. And again, some don't care about proportions as long as they get taller. Some care about getting taller AND preserving proportions to the best possible degree, I believe Sweden agrees there based on what he's written before. Then there probably are a few that think proportions are important to such a degree that not even getting taller seems worth messing them up. We're all individuals with different perspectives and goals.
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

Good job Sweden 
And you still have some time left to recover, so you'll probably do even better in some months.
