Will LL in any way give me physical advantage instead of social advantage only?
« on: October 27, 2015, 04:29:53 AM »
One of the reasons why tall men are perceived as better and more dominant is that they give the impression of being stronger, more powerful and able of protecting himself and women. Tall men have advantages over short men in fistfighting due to longer reach and more weight which means higher force.

So the question is will we get any of this physical benefits that normally tall men should have?

Well with CLL you'll get a higher center of gravity, which means you can be taken down more easily. And unless you do arm lengthening you're not going to have better reach when striking. Your endurance will probably take a hit too. You won't gain any advantages in a fight after leg lengthening,  imo.

What about kicking reach?

Will we get heavier after LL?

Added mass could help mitigate the higher center of gravity.

Your stride length gets longer too.

Besides that, LL will probably make you a worse athlete, though maybe not if you're lucky.

The answer is a resounding NO.

When you do LL, you trade your time/money/athletic ability to be become taller. You don't get stronger/faster after having your legs broken and your muscles stretched. You just don't. You get weaker and slower.
