Title: Arms along with legs?
Post by: pricelessprincess on August 02, 2016, 01:32:48 PM

Hey everyone!
I'm 16 years old and 5'3. I don't think I'll grow any taller, and even if I do grow,like, even 3 inches which is impossible ( I was 5'2 when I was 12, I only grew an inch in 4 years) I won't be as tall as i want to be. I'm thinking of extending a total of 6 inches, 3 in my femur and 3 in my tibia when I'm older. But the thing is, won't my arms be too short compared to my legs? My parents say so, but my friend recently got 5 inches extended and he looks fine. Help me out here?

Go to an endo and get X-Rays, they can tell you if your plates are fused and you're done growing.
Your arms will probably be too short.
You absolutely shouldn't lengthen tibias by 3 inches, consider 5 inches. (2 tibia + 3 femur)

Pretty cool that your friend did LL.

Try get some HGH/Test treatment done before your growth plates fuse.. The less you have to lengthen, the better you will look..... Post LL looks are subjective to the person. If you gain 6 inches (15cm's) though, you will look weird. If it looked normal I would lengthen to 6 foot.

You will grow a centimeter yet.
