Hi Everyone. I was wondering if there is greater probability of getting complications having leg muscles very developed.
A jacked persong, who trained legs twice or three times a week for the last 5 years for example should be more concerned getting this surgery done compared to someone who's very thin and skinny or not? Maybe it's the same, you got the same odds than a skinny person, but I'm asking just in case

Having muscular beefy legs will work against you if you do LL since more muscles = more resistance to lengthening. I'm in the same position as you and I decided to stop training legs and do a lot of cardio to help atrophy the muscles a bit.

Sure, but then atrophied glutes is hardly going to be a positive when you’re trying to walk post-surgery.

I don't think so cuz ur not gonna atrophy them that much and also u would be able to regain strength during physical therapy

Victor from Cyborg4Life had LL on one tibia due to a discrepancy. He's stated multiple times that the one he lengthened is bigger than the other no matter how much he works out the other one. One calf is just always bigger.

This is due to Limb Lengthening inducing Hyperplasia.

Take a look at the video he did on it:
