The new paradigm in LL; no longer are we aiming for 10cm

Edit Post

What doctor did you go to BullSurfer?

Hey guys, i hope everyone manages to read this.. I've just recently heard of a gym in London called gymbox whose owner has guaranteed at least 2cm height increase or your money back. Apparently people have been reaching height gains of up to 2 inches. Approximately 5.5 cm. So i was just wondering if anyone has given that a go as of yet?!

Your money and time would probably be better off doing yoga.  I suspect that's what this gym thing is really about.  A temporary increase in height via stretching.  Once you stop doing it, your height will return to normal.   

If you are under 20 and your growth plates have not close, it's worth stretching yourself via exercises.

I'd rather be dead than live as a 165 cm man and I'm not kidding about it. It disgusted me for years. Yes, I'm vain, I accept it. I'd rather be a murderer than a short guy. LL is my salvation, there hasn't been a single day I regretted my decision. It's breaking the body for healing the hurt soul. If I was 173 cm or above, I wouldn't do LL. I would lock myself into the gym and get closer to a godlike physique. My minimum limit is 173 cm ( 5'8 ). Anything above that limit and if you still want LL, you might be better off by thinking again and dedicating yourself to working out. If you have doubts, then don't do it.

If your growth plates have fused, there's no other way for height increase except surgery. All other solutions are temporary (stretching, yoga, pilates). An endocrinologist can tell you whether if your growth plates have fused.

I was reading your post early in the morning and was confused asking myself when did I write it? :-) I have same thoughts as u. I think this forum will bring better results for future LL patients. Most of them won't go beyond 5cm, most of them will pick their dr really carefully and if they go to third world hospitals they are well educated about LL so drs can't fool them, and so on and so o.. If there weren't guys who did LL and unselfishly shared their experience with us we could follow that idiot from old forum and ruined our lives just like that. If I had money I would pay the operation to each of u suffering from any kind of pain because LL.

Christ isak, you me both brother feel the same.


But i can be 5'8 and let me tell you it still bad. Not make you guys that have that as a goal feel dishearted but shee you need to be 5'11 to see the benifts of life.

At 5'8 They are still gonna look as you as short but not SHORT enough to be called out on a regular basis know im sayin'. And you are still not gonna gain any more respect when going out clubbing or trying to act little bit dominant.


5'11 or die tryin.

Clubbing is such a minute part of life though. 5'8 may not be tall enough for those wanting a height gain in order to enjoy all the social privileges that come with being tall, but for those wanting to enjoy a life without the constant ridicule toward their height, 5'8 is more than enough in most countries. I'm sure there are many people who will enjoy life immensely at an average height simply because their height is no longer a disadvantage.

I think of it like this:

Short = social disadvantage
Average = neutral ground
Tall = social privilege

If you're in the middle and have other things going for you like a well built body and/or an endearing personality, or even a respectable job, then your height will be a non-factor in most situations. Plus, I think there's more of a psychological benefit for short guys becoming closer to average than for average guys becoming tall.

How will working out solve a person's height insecurity? I think leg lengtheners who are taller than 5' 8" make you feel insecure about yourself because you suffer from height-envy, or else you wouldn't be constantly whinging about it so much.

Taller = better. It's not that difficult to understand. I do draw the line at 6' 2", being taller than that is an inconvenience, but to each his own.
