How much would you lengthen ?

Quote from: Sambollio on January 31, 2022, 09:56:01 PMThank you! This forum needs to reincorporate percentages over flat numbers. If someone is very short their lengthening might be 2cm less than their taller counterparts equivalent length when going off of percentage of original bone length.

Sorry I am a little confused here. Do you mean taller people have more potential to lenghten 2 cm more than snorter people on legs?

He means that taller people can lengthen more because they have longer bones .
A person with a longer bone can lengthen more and have the same result as a shorter person apparently lenghetning more conservatively.

Yes, I've been trying to take the forum more in that direction; I also think we need to abandon the idea of safe limits to a degree. There's no such thing as a "safe" limit for ll; any ll can be potentially dangerous, and that danger increasing exponentially past those percentage limits I posted. Theoretically, someone can lengthen 25% of both their segments and be fine--but it's like playing Russian Roulette.

Thank you for explaining. That could be the reason why many tall guys want to do LL. They benefit from it a lot.

I don't think tall people generally go for LL unless they're short in comparison to their family imo.

LL nowadays is safer than it was 10 years ago I believe. Maybe in future that safe limit shouldn't be a problem as doctors master their skills in LL, or with the help of regenerative medicine.

The problem won't be to find how to produce more bone or how to lenghten more.
The issue is the physiological, biological and biomechamics natural limits. The body is a fully integrared organism, not a mechanic machine. If one grows too much, organs may face disproportional challenges, for example heart will have to pump more blood and quicker, bone marrow will have to produce more blood, nerve coordination may be changed, feet and iliac bones may be too stressed, tendons more subject to tendinitis, all sorts of problems impossible to foresee may happen.

Agree , there will ,maybe,be a safer and slower way to lengthen without having pre-consolidation havig less soft tissues problems but other then that...our body it's not designed to allow massive changes so there will always be some limits with LL .
For the moment,  I just wished there was a "biofeedback" as Paley anticipated was gonna be integrated in the next gen nails,allowing us n surgeons to know what is going on inside and an authomated lenghetning process that lengthens when the muscles are ready to and calculates times between lengthening sessions to maximize soft tissues recovery but minimize chances of bone pre consolidations .
Paley ready anticipated that but given the Stryde recall,  I can't wait 5 more years ..but future LLers might have that luck and I believe that it's the max we can wish for our generation.

According to my mock ups, savings and the extreme time i can put into this I would lengthen 15-16cm and be happy, and leave this chapter of life behind me. Still being online in forum ofc every now and then.
That would take me from 5'6 to lil above 6 feet. I dont count shoes or my hair just natural standing height.

Sad part is that I won't be getting it for a couple of years since I am working on myself in different aspects of life. Tho LL will come true and once it will I will be here to describe it all, humerus as well.

Thanks to our better understanding of how LL should be done, 16cm of height gain shouldn't be a problem for now. Your height isn't short though. If you come to Asia some people may think you are little taller. Lots of men between 5'6 to 5'7 in some places of the Asia.
