Sometimes I look back to this diary & It feels like a dream. I can’t believe I really went from 5’4 to around 5’11. I’ve ran into so many people, people my old height & just watch how hard life is for them. I cry inside wishing I could reach into their soul & offer a solution & tell them I know exactly how they feel. Ive gotten into arguments with many girls defending short guys as they try to ridicule them in my presence.

I am so glad I did this surgery & am even more glad I left a diary for everyone to refer to. My only regret is that I did not create a concise step by step program for everyone to follow. I have 1000’s of messages in my inbox so I am sorry to everyone I was not able to get back to, I hope you all hit your goals. I was having a convo today with my brother & he suggested I make an actual “course” on how to max out on your length goals safely. If I followed through with this, would you be interested in paying for it? If so, how much would it be worth to you? This will help me figure out how much time to spend on it, although I do plan on making it as simple as possible

Thanks, love you all

Hey @MyEvolution thanks for the diary. 2 questions:

(1) Did you do arms? If not how do you feel about the proportion? Any comments?

(2) If someone could rebreak at 5'8 to get to 5'10 would you recommend it to them? Is the whole downtime of the process x2 worth it?

Does the quadrilateral, lengthen by 1mm / 0.75mm per day (femur/tibia)? or only 0.75 mm / 0.5 mm per day?

Funny thing I went out on a date With a girl last night super hot, I casually asked her what’s the shortest guy you would go for and her reply was “5’11 if he checks ll the boxes cause i’m 5’5 & like to wear heels. “
“You’re like what, 6’0? “
Im like
“Yaaaaa……”

They literally don't know the difference atp and just say 6'0 for the number.  You should've told her you were 5'8 or something and see her reaction

MyEvolution, what was your reach before AL and how long is it now?

How much you lengthened your legs in total and what is your average daily height you stand at currently?

This was an incredible story, but it does make me wonder if the reason we never got MyEv's athleticism video is because he's debilitated.

Clearly it was worth it for him in any case, but it'd be nice to have full disclosure to help people make an informed decision.

Yeah, I agree. it's a bit suspicious to have no closure statement, and he did have many complications. I think whatever people on diaries might claim to do, we should just stick to the safe guidelines of 7 + 5 cm. Even 6 + 4cm isn't too bad to get the best results. I'd rather be an inch shorter and not have to suffer from leg pain my whole life.

😂😂😂 thats funny , I’m actually very athletic. I play sports with normal people be it basketball, boxing, pickleball & no one can tell I did LL. I’ve done a full recovery

I’m just scared to post myself because the risk of getting exposed far outweighs any benefits of showing the community.

The only real “con” out of all this has been my expectations

When i was 5’4 i really thought becoming 5’11 would make me a cheat code. In all honesty, it definitely has increased my dating circle like crazy. But i dont get the benefits of being “tall”

I go out with my buddy who’s 6’3 & granted, women at bars are super hypergamous, but they will literally throw themselves at him. Thats what I was expecting being 5’11 but it’s not true. At 5’11 you’re more or less normal, not tall by any means. Even when wearing lifts


But that being said i am grateful to have gone through this. I wish my starting height was 5’8 so I could be like 6’3 rn so i can feel a reward in proportion to the pain i went through to get here. But i am healthy, i’m fit, & being an athletic 5’11 for the rest of my life is way better than being 5’4 so i’ll take it

Maybe once day i’ll post my fitness but i just dont see the pros, only risks of getting exposed lol

No, but my reach could use some
(2) If someone could rebreak at 5'8 to get to 5'10 would you recommend it to them? Is the whole downtime of the process x2 worth it?
Def worth it, i would go for 6’2 6’3 as long as you are an athletic person low bodyfat %
It’s transformative

Heck i’m even debating going for a 3rd round to get to 6’3 but idk if it’s worth it anymore cause my turso wouldnt be good

Bro the guidelines are there because people are lazy. You’ll see. Once you start you’ll notice most people do not stretch!!! Even when they are told to.

There is nothing wrong with going for the full 8 x 8
The only reason i couldnt hit the full 8cm in tibs is because my right leg kept healing way too fast, & in order to continue I would have had to rebreak a 3rd time. I wish i did it, woulda gained an extra 1cm. But if you put in the work 8 x 8 is safe and possible

Don’t sell yourself short
