What is your starting height for those who are definitely doing LL (Males ONLY)

Quote from: YellowSpike on February 25, 2015, 11:14:20 PMIf I were you, I'd do it as soon as you can comfortably afford it. I wish I had known about this when I was a few years younger (your age). You'll have more years to enjoy your new height and recoup what you spent.

I wasted almost a year going back and forth "am I really doing LL or not," and was in this horrible limbo. I didn't want to blow that kind of money (even though sitting in the bank, it wasn't making me happy), I didn't want the pain...but there was no way I could get the idea out of my mind, so I eventually changed my plans from doing it near where I live, and just did it in Europe last minute with Dr. Guichet. I think once I'm walking without crutches (hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks?) I'll be very happy with my decision.

I feel like we should create a separate thread for this since were so off topic now lmao. whatever but yeah im not sure about you but im comfortable with my height to the point where i can delay it if i know i can make my entire life better. Like having a good portion of money for a house, having a good amount of money to continually invest and play with, plus getting an enjoyable remote job where i can work from home. ( that way i can do LL and be getting paid as well, one of the nice things about being in the IT field).

Currently i want to do internals femurs first (5cm) as soon as i can so that will get me to 5'7 and than later on do tibias 4cm and get to 5'8.5 Im really hoping by the time i do tibias they find a better way to do internals without fking with your knees paternal tendon or whatever the   makes it hurt.

I got paid the whole time I was out

My life was pretty good beforehand, but my height neurosis had gotten really bad (in part, thanks to these forums, which are a mixed blessing in a way). If you think you may be able to get over your height issues, maybe you should get off the forums before it's too late. I wish I had been able to do that. I had a lot going for me already, but I just felt I needed to do this. And I'm not blaming the forums. My height had always been an issue...for me, the straw that broke the camel's back (in large part) was a bad breakup I went through. I realized that I was staying with this (very attractive) woman for years (even though she wasn't right for me) because I didn't think I could get other hot girls. And even though I proved myself wrong after we broke up, I still just couldn't shake this feeling that every hot girl I dated/hooked up with was "doing me a favor."

Lol who put 196 cm and above?

I guess its understandable to do LL at 176 to 180 (I would have done LL even in Singapore if I am 176 .. maybe not 178).

But who are the two idiots who are 196 and above, and wanna do LL?!

Only thing I'm thinking is that maybe they've always dreamed of playing professional basketball. Even then, though, 196 cm is 6'5, and Michael Jordan was 6'6 (198 cm).

There are a few good basketballers at 180-190 range: Jeremy lin (1.9),  steve nash (1.9), chris paul (1.83), allen Iverson  (1.83), Dwayne Wade (spelling?at 193)

Height is not really important if you play semi-pro, or recreationally... skill, judgment and physique is more important. it is easy to see a 1.8 guy beating a 2 m dude at 1 v1 basketball, just by agility alone.

anyway nba players inflate their height 2 cm (basketball shoes). they are measured with shoes on.
