Basically I’m just curious whether doing either arm lengthening or leg lengthening minimises the amount of muscle the lengthened bone can carry example if I lengthen my arm could I grow more muscle or less or even the same amount obviously after it’s fully healed thanks
Quote from: taller_in_Kiev on September 25, 2018, 08:17:41 PMI can say that my lengthened femurs are much bulkier than my non lengthened calves, so I'd say more muscle is possible post LL, but it takes time and effort
Would you say it takes longer because it’s a longer bone just curious I have naturally muscular legs but I’d be more concerned if I had to do arm lengthening because obviously it’s better to have bigger arms than legs
Quote from: Sanity on September 26, 2018, 04:41:11 AMthe musculature doesnt grow unless its also been cut in a way. the tissue just stretches out so essentially the same muscle mass stretched out on a longer bone with some % loss of functioning.
So realistically it’ll just take longer to build muscle then but you should still be able to.
Quote from: Sanity on September 30, 2018, 07:00:47 AMi suppose. and i really hope so. even if its not im ok with it cause im going for tibia lengthening only and if i cannot have muscular calfs its fine. il just bulk up my upper legs and upper body.
For me it’s more of a concern if I need arm lengthening because i don’t mind if I can get massive legs obviously I don’t want chicken legs but the arms I believe are always the important things
Quote from: Sanity on September 30, 2018, 01:50:20 PMmy main concern is not bulking it up but getting pains and even loss of funtion because il be forcing an already stretched muscle into action either isometric contractions or just loading. yea in case of arm its a serious concern. i dont think the stretched limb can ever gain as much muscle as normally and without any joint/muscle issues.
for me after the surgery muscle building for that particular limb is out of the window.
Well for arms if you have an already good wingspan ie I have a 182 wingspan/armspan so if I did lengthen my arms by 3 cm each arm so I’d end up with a 188 armspan which is close to the target I want with LL plus like Leg lengthening they say the safe limit is 5 cm so I’d actually be under within the safe limit but yea I’d say you’d be able to still build muscle providing the you haven’t streatched way over the safe limit
Quote from: Sanity on September 30, 2018, 07:20:25 PMwhy do u even wana lengthen arms in first place. just get ur lower limbs lengthened and bulk up ur arms. in my experience ppl usually don give a fk about arm length as such. they are more focused on height and then straight to ur muscle build. wouldnt u agree.
Nah I probably wouldn’t get arm lengthening done it’s just if it is nessary I probably would but yea I do agree with what your saying
