I don't mean like jogging for fun but being in competitive level.
Both height and athleticism matter equally. Choosing one over the other isn't an option.
What would be the wisest move to make?
Quote from: Ronman on July 30, 2021, 05:46:22 PMHave to make a choice, simple as that.
If competing is your priority, obviously don't do LL. No way you're going to compete athletically better than previously
Quote from: KrP1 on July 30, 2021, 06:49:42 PMYou have to choose. You simply can't have LL and the same athlethic hability at competitive level.
I've clearly said above that choosing is not an option. It doesn't have to be better than previously, but as long as it's no devastating, that would be a good start.
Quote from: Sambollio on July 31, 2021, 12:20:07 AMYou are kinda asking an impossible question. There is no option 3. You either do this surgery or don’t. That being said I’m not really sure what you mean by competitive athleticism? Like do you mean college level sports, playing for fun, or being an elite sportsman. You can regain your “athletic” ability after a long time of hard work but there is a very good chance you will never be an elite sportsman (more so than usual lol).
Yeah pretty much I mean an elite sportsman or close to it. But definitely not for fun.

Then life would be incomplete without the height, man.
Quote from: V21 on August 02, 2021, 09:48:29 AMDo just 5 cm and hope to have a decent athletic recovery. It's what I am going to do, let's see how it goes lol
Quote from: Arcon on August 02, 2021, 12:18:44 PMIf you can be happy with competition at a a slightly lower level and don't go for more than 6 cm in the femur you caan have the best of both worlds imo.
Yeah, that's the spirit I want to see here.
Quote from: Montreal172 on August 02, 2021, 06:17:14 PMBS go look at cyborg4life's channel. You can go back to pre LL athletic level or more, the question is will you put the effort after this gruesome experience ? Most go above and beyond during LL and not everyone has the mental toughness to keep going after so they say its impossible.
That being said, Cyborg is only a bodybuilder and he only did one leg.
Quote from: Singapore on August 04, 2021, 09:01:02 AMSo far, I would say it depends on the sport as well. I am already back to play sports like basketball and tennis pretty much the same pre-surgery, but soccer is a different story... Not sure if I can ever get back to play soccer like I used to be, but if not then, well... I am just gonna accept it. I like playing basketball more anyway lol
Yeah, for sure. I'm sure it doesn't affect us playing chess at all.
Quote from: KiloKAHN on August 08, 2021, 10:45:07 PMYou can still participate in high intensity sport after lengthening if you do it recreationally. Competitive level? Forget about it, you'll get creamed. Doesn't matter if you do 4cm or 7 cm.
You wouldn't know because you never did 4cm. How would you explain Sweden being able to compete in Taekwondo even though he did 7.5cm on tibias?
Quote from: Atlas on August 10, 2021, 04:07:12 AMThis forum is so weird, if you are that compititive sport man to the point where it can make up for life quality in term of status,money,social circle, girls then you don't need LL
But yeah no sportman who got in to the point will came here and asking repeating asking stupid question spreading his insecure on this forum
I think you are the weird one. You completely miss what getting taller is all about that you even think just because someone is successful and talented, then they won't need to look good.
Hey guys, I want to ask. Hypothetically, if I do LL and compete in professional MMA. Would I be at a bigger disadvantage than this guy?
I'm genuinely curious if LL will cripple me to the point that a one-armed man will be physically superior than me.
