Figured it might be of interest to someone, a visual representation of muscle loss in one year timeline of bilateral femoral leg lengthening

Who was the surgeon? Im miring hard.Figured it might be of interest to someone, a visual representation of muscle loss in one year timeline of bilateral femoral leg lengthening
PMd,Who was the surgeon? Im miring hard.
How long was the lengthening and how long did it take for you to start walking again?PMd,
Oh and if anyone is contemplating this procedure, my PMs are always open.
Although, I'd say it helps being a bit naive going into this, lol
Probably a week after removal, but barely walking is different from walking normal. You'll walk like a penguin due to all the muscle loss, particularly your abductors/glute muscles which work as stabilizers.How long was the lengthening and how long did it take for you to start walking again?
Yo that CRAZY loss.Figured it might be of interest to someone, a visual representation of muscle loss in one year timeline of bilateral femoral leg lengthening
374 lbs before, like 3 years ago. Squats never been my lift, I like deadlifts much more which I've done 550lbs in.How much did you squat before and now?

I haven't done a single squat or deadlift after, and I won't do that before full consolidation and rod removal and some time after that.
It's a complicated process, as you need rods until bone is fully consolidated which is a 1 and a half- 2 year process. And right after you remove the rods, you'll have to be careful as the bones are in a weaker state, due to the rods having carried some of the load.
But yeah, if your aim is to be good at squats or deadlifts, don't do this surgery, as you're likely never going to be able to lift as much as you did, due to the simple reason that long femurs aren't favored in those lifts.
If I do a body squat now, basically doing a quarter squat gives me the same feeling as going ass to the grass pre surgery lol.
I stopped all training during the lengthening. I mean, it's hard to describe the pain, using the VAS scale it could be 9/10 at times when the effect of pain killers would wear off. Its very mentally draining simply due to having to deal with this pain over such a long period of time.How painful was it bro? Also do u still train upper body
¿Es posible volver a practicar un deporte como el fútbol después de la cirugía?Detuve todo el entrenamiento durante el alargamiento. Quiero decir, es difícil describir el dolor, usando la escala VAS podría ser 9/10 en momentos en que el efecto de los analgésicos desaparecería. Es muy mentalmente agotador simplemente por tener que lidiar con este dolor durante un período de tiempo tan largo.
Yes, use it or lose it.This is muscle atrophy because of disuse, not nerve damage?
how much did you gain in the end?
Looks fine. Don't get into your previous "broiler thighs" state, in contrast with much smaller calfs, look ridiculous.Small update 7 months after I made this post.
Here's how they look currently, this is without any kind of pump.
Essentially I only perform leg extensions/leg curls until I get my internal rods removed, which is gonna take place sometime this year, as my bone has now fully consolidated.
Yeah I actually realised that. It sucks though because current size is just from leg extensions/curls with pretty moderate weights.Looks fine. Don't get into your previous "broiler thighs" state, in contrast with much smaller calfs, look ridiculous.
