Subject: Shinbone routine
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 22:08:02 -0500
Good day,
Of course, I will not disclose my real name, so let's just believe it is Evan
Svensson. I am male, just turned 23, and have been doing the
shinbone routine for approximately three months. While I saw absolutely no
results at first, I realized I was not creating sufficient microfractures, I was relying on my gym routine to create
them and found out that it was not enough. In fact, cycling and such doesn't
create any since there's no impact, despite that it is good exercise for the
legs, and could even help them in the effort.
At this time, I started my own separate routine specifically for shin bone growth.
I jog, in place, in my room with 10 pounds of ankle weights for 30-60
minutes, between moderate and fast pace, making sure my feet hit the ground
strongly, then I immediately sit (lying down, actually) with around 25 pounds
strapped to my legs for 1-2 hours, then I go to sleep, without standing until
the morning. I don't sleep with the ankle weights on, though, I
can't get used to it.
What has me baffled is that I am 95% percent certain that I grew 1/4 an inch in
the past two weeks, now that I properly modified the routine, I think it is
working, two weeks ago I measured (at about 10:30 at night) at 5'10"
exactly, then the next week 5'10" and 1/8, then today 5'10" and
1/4. I even feel a bit taller in relation to everyone else, how
does that happen with only a quarter inch??? And I think the routine did this
because my shins definitely look a little bit longer. This really gives me
hope because if I continue this rate, I could theoretically gain several
inches over the next year or two. My goal is to gain around 3", but if I
could get more than that, I will try hard to do so. In fact, I think I could
start growing at a faster rate if I ramp up the intensity of the jogging, I
actually feel the sensation of my shin bones being "pushed out" or
stretched from the inside sometimes, and it feels strange, did Vulcrum report
this?, and did he achieve any growth beyond the 2.5 inches? Wasn't
he supposed to contact you by now? Well, I have said a lot, and the only
reason I am writing to tell you guys all this is because I am convinced the shin bone routine
works, it doesn't mean it is a miracle technique, but again, I am sure of it
that it causes growth. I will contact you guys again around the
Fall of this year, it's insane, but I'm hoping to be substantially taller by
then! Let me know if you have any questions for now. –Evan

Ouch, was Vulcrum disappointed? I don't know, I'd be pretty happy with a
2.5" gain, but I'm a lot taller than him. However, I don't see why most
people can't gain something substantial with a combination of leg and spine
growth and a lot of work. But to answer your questions, yes, I jog
with 10 pounds on each leg, and sit with 25 pounds on each leg afterward,
then I sleep after that without standing, to keep the microfractures from
compressing before they have 8 hours or so to heal. I take
multivitamins and drink more milk than most people, but I don't think that
alone does anything for height, I think's it's necessary to keep from being perpetually
exhausted; I don't think you have compromise your energy to the extreme (as
Vulcrum did) to achieve growth, but time will give me that answer. But I
should probably try adding more weight and sitting with the weights for
longer, and jogging for longer as well, I think longer duration DOES create
more microfractures which is always a good thing in the way of
this technique. But, again, I'll find out with time. I'll contact you if/when
I hit the 1/2" mark. Thanks.

Just letting you know, you told me to contact you guys again when I
reached the 1/2" mark, and I measured again yesterday to find that is
exactly what has taken place. I'm pretty sure of it because I measured in the
evening, and I was on my feet all day. I think at this point,
there's still no telling what is causing this, but I have concluded that I am
growing about 1/8 an inch every week. I've yet to get myself to grow faster,
but I am working on that at the moment. My goal is to reach
6'0" by the fall, but I am hoping I can surpass that, even. If you have
any questions, let me know. Evan

Sky,
I'll give you all the information you need, but to answer question one, I do not
have any before pictures, but I'm not sure if it is time to send in after
pictures just yet, why don't we wait, once again until about September or
October, because I am fairly convinced that I will have achieved
substantial growth since then. If I do decide to submit any pictures, it will
be of the legs only, for privacy reasons. The legs already look significantly
longer after just 1/2" so if I manage to pick up 2 or 3 inches in all,
the length of the shins as seen in the photos won't lie, if you study the
proportions of people, you'll see that most people's lower legs are not that
long, even those above 6', suggesting the shin bone might be the
little known window for height increase.
To answer question 2, my original height is 5'10", I'm Male, around 151lbs,
I live in New Haven, Connecticut. I'm 23 years old, and Caucasian
(of English descent to be precise). My current height is
5'10" and a half, in light of my recent routine. My goal is to reach
6'0" by the fall of this year, which I think is doable, but with a
combination of leg and spine growth, I'm actually hoping to be around
6'3" within five years, but that is a big undertaking, not so sure that
could happen. In short, I am convinced I am growing around 1/8" every week, since
around March 3 or so, when I modified the routine to be more effective.
My mother is around 5'3", my father is 6'1".
I must note that I am not entirely sure that my growth plates are closed. Though I
have not grown naturally since I was around 20, I still have the
face and body of a teen, I'm actually routinely mistaken for a 16 year old.
In fact, once, a high school group was touring my college and one of the
teachers tried to get me to go one the bus with them because she thought I
was once of the high school kids, it was pretty funny, but I had to show her
my student ID to prove I was in fact, 22 (this was last fall). The reason I
mention all this, is because it suggests my bones aren't all that mature yet,
that probably bears some significance in my case. Remember, just because you
have stopped growing does not mean your plates are closed yet, in fact, if you’re
under 25, their probably somewhat influential still. I mean, it was not until
he was around my age, that my father passed 6 feet, so a young man growing in
his early 20s is not that unusual. But one thing I can say is that I am fairly sure my
newfound growth was in the shins, they look decidedly longer, and somehow I
feel I can run a little bit faster on the treadmill now, you
aspiring runners might want to keep that in mind.
I know
my current leg growth was proportional for the reason that every night I
check. What I do is, I spread them out on the bed right before going to sleep
to see if one foot goes out longer than the other (believe me, that worries
me), and thus far that has not happened. I walk just fine, nothing
feels off, other than that I feel a bit taller. Now, I'd like to talk a bit
on advice and discourse in relation to the routine. I started the routine around December
of 2006. I was getting a bit frustrated because March had come right around
and I had gained nothing. I realized that I was relying on my gym routine,
which consists of lots of cycling, and Stairmaster stuff, to
create the microfractures in the legs. I go to the gym on school days right
around 3PM, and since I have no to time to sit with ankle weights accept for
late at night, I think what little microfractures were created may have
healed too soon for anything to happen. It is believed they heal fast, and I
am convinced that if you do not stretch them out immediately, no growth will
take place. After reading Vulcrum's
story through and through, I decided to change the routine to ensure many
microfractures are created and that they are stretched out while they are
"fresh". My routine is as followed:
1.) Jog for around 30-60 minutes with 10lbs of ankle
weights attached to EACH LEG. Take a 1-2 minute break about once every 10-15
minutes, it all depends on how athletic you are, I, being quite
active, could handle it, but please, don't hurt yourself, such action is NOT
NECESSARY to achieve growth (I'll get to that later).
2.) Take five to ten minutes to
make so your night regimen is done. I use this time to use my apricot scrub
and Olay cream, and turn off my room lights. Facials and stuff is irrelevant,
but important. I take it most of you want to be taller to have better luck
with girls, more height won't cut it if you let your face break out or get
too dry.
3.) Strap 25 pounds of ankle weights to
EACH LEG, and lie down with the legs extended over the bed front bedpost and
stay that way for 1-2 hours. If it starts to feel a bit intolerable after
about 50 minutes, I think it is a sure sign it is working, but don't allow
yourself to suffer extreme pain, sometimes, I try taking the weights off for
ten minutes, then going another hour before sleeping. It pays to have a high
bed, by the way, get one if you can. Mine is almost four feet off the ground,
and it helps, if your legs touch the ground at all, it will hurt your
progress because it provides some relief from the weight.
4.) IMPORTANT: It is imperative that you
do not stand once you start the final process, not until the next morning, I
discovered this point from Vulcrum
who stated that once you step on the ground again, the microfractures
compress back down, and thus, you're no better off then when you started
jogging. Make sure your remotes are with
you so you can turn the TV, DVD, surround sound, etc. off when you are ready
to go to sleep. One thing I must stress to tell you all is that I
think the saddest thing one could do is let this routine consume his/her
life. Remember, there is no guarantee that it will give you ANY results, the
fact that I gained 1/2" is truly fascinating and there is no telling if
I'll gain any more. Use the time you have when lying down with the
weights to build your other skills. I usually spend that hour listening to
music, reading, talking on the phone to my girlfriend, brushing up on my
German, brushing up on my Swedish, studying, etc. Bottom line, this routine
CAN co-exist with living life, and it must, otherwise it is life
wasted.
The final thing I must stress to you all, since it has me worried, you must take
measures to preserve your health. I have my own gym routine, separate from
the shinbone routine which is purely for health reasons. My diet includes
well balanced and big meals with lots of protein, fruit and vegetables,
yogurt, and about 12 glasses of water daily. In addition I take
multivitamins, flax seed oil, and fish oil daily, and use apricot scrub and
Olay cream to keep my face looking beautiful. The reason I think Vulcrum was "tired all the
time..." in his growth process was because he was neglecting to take
care of his health. You DO NOT have to suffer immensely (by this I mean you
don't have to feel like you're dying) to achieve height growth, thus far, I
have done it, and I don't feel this way. No one under 30 should feel that
way, and NO ONE under 18 should feel that way, EVER. If you do, you're doing
something wrong.
Remember, if you harm your health, you won't look good, even if you do get
taller. Is image not what it's all about? This is why I don't place much
importance on GH production (I know, sin of sins to say that here), because
young people already produce lots of it, the risks associated with having too
much are not good. Besides, it's scientific to say that if fractures, microfractures
or otherwise are stretched apart, it should by all logic result in new bone,
if this was not so, limb-lengthening surgery would not be a medical reality.
I have even heard of a 4'3" woman who underwent unimaginable pain to
extend her shins by 7 INCHES! You can find this on MSNBC, but I do not know
the link.
In closing, know that everyone is different, know that my specific routine
might not be the best routine for everyone else, and know that height is not
100% of what makes a person look good. If that were true then Bob Saget
(6'4") would have more female fans than Brad Pitt (5'10"), such is
definitely not the case. In high school, I was 5'6" and I had the
reputation of being the guy that "all the girls like", so height
cannot be everything, as some people here seem to think it is. I'll
finally close with this: try not to tell everyone you know about this
routine, I've told no one besides you guys. I mean, if EVERYONE is tall, is
height so great? You're welcome to put any of this stuff on the
website. Evan
