Title: 90% athleticism
Post by: conservativegains on July 18, 2020, 04:45:40 PM

What do you think the possibilities of me getting back to 90% athleticism would be if I were to do 3cm in my tibs and 3.5 in my femurs? Of course I would love to get back to 100% and go for 9cm, but I would rather retain a higher percentage of athleticism and be a couple cm shorter. Thanks!

Bro Idfk if it's even possible to get back to your %90 with TWO SURGERIES.
If you had just one surgery and everything went well, you did 4 cm's only.

Perhaps, you've gotten back to your %100.

I would think that 2 surgeries would be better because it isn't stretching soft tissue as much and your proportions wouldn't be thrown off so much?

Exactly but I feel like you really mess up with your biomechanics with 2 surgeries. I want to have 2 surgeries too, don't misunderstand me.

But I want everything to be perfect (maybe not, but I want everything to be at least decent good)
and having 2 surgeries must be tough as hell.

7cm femurs + 5 cm tibias would be great as hell. Also safe, maybe 6cm on femurs instead of 7.

Hopefully with more experience will be able to answer!
