Which
is more effective in creating microfractures – running a treadmill or
on concrete surface?
- Running on a concrete surface may produce more microfractures than running
on a treadmill. If you own a treadmill machine exercise, be sure to wear
ankle weights while running to ensure that sufficient microfractures are developed.
The
shinbone routine seems great. It’s my first attempt trying out the
routine and I’m determined to grow half an inch in the next 2 months.
What do you think?
- Response:
Growing taller with the shinbone routine may be challenging at first as there
will be many trials & errors during your progress. So don't expect to
grow 1/4 inch in your first attempt. In general, it take approximately 3 to 6 attempts
for one to successfully grow with the shinbone routine. There are many
reasons which might contribute to the trial & error experiment.
For example, in your FIRST attempt, you start doing the
shinbone routine for a few weeks but then give up because you can't securely
adjust the iron plates to the velcro strap. You bought the right iron plates
or ankle weights on the Internet but found out that they’re not as
good. You’re now still shopping for other weights. Also, the cold
weather is nasty and you're a bit lazy.
In your SECOND
attempt, you may quit after 2 weeks because your knees hurt (due
to incorrect dangling of the legs). You should dangle your legs (NOT your
knees). Knees should be rested on the edge of the bed. You feel frustrated
and take a month off to focus in school and promise to resume the routine
some time later.
In your THIRD
attempt, you may quit after 4 weeks and you didn't see any growth.
Why? because you were dangling with 25 lb each leg. Each person is different,
but you must increase more weights to see growth. For example, our
experimenter Andy didn't see any growth at all until he finally figured out
that dangling with 35 lb each leg works well for him as he indeed grew close
to 1 inch in permanent height in lower legs. With patience, you can do it!
My
routine is vertical jumping for 15 minutes and then I use the inversion table
to keep me upside down for 30 minutes and then crawling to bed right away. Do
you think this routine will work about the same as the shinbone routine?
- Response:
Strapping
35 lb iron plates to each leg (total 70 lbs) is probably 20 times more
effective than simply doing inversion. We have pointed out that
inversion exercises have a very low success rate as our experimenters only
achieved temporary height gains after 6 months of doing inversion.
I was
wondering if you've heard of this particular product listed at
http://www.provymax.com. Please let
know when you find time, thx!
- Response:
We've heard nothing but complaints from ProvyMax users. Users complained that
there's no difference b/w heightMax and ProvyMax. By the way, heightmax was
shut down by US federal agents last year.
I have
tried the shinbone routine. I run for 15 minutes and then put 25 lb weight on
my ankle. but after around 1/2 hour, my knee start hurting so bad. I am afraid
that will kill my knee before I get taller. I tried to use the knee protector
elastic cover kind of thing but my knee still hurt. Is there any way to
prevent that? I am sure there are a lot of people running in the knee problem
from doing this experiment. Help?
- Response:
You
should ONLY dangle your legs (not your knees)... your knees should
be resting on the edge of the bed as shown on pics on our website. Shinbone
experimenters normally start out dangling with 10 lb each leg for a few days,
then increase some more pounds a week or two later... start slow and go easy..
if u grow 1/4 inch, then stop the routine for 3 to 4 weeks to heal.
By the
way, it takes some experimenters about 5 weeks to finally try 35 lb each leg.
Be careful on the knees - Start slow and have patience!
The
only question that I have is this.
After I run, and immediately hang weights on my ankles for 1 hour and
½, can I pull into a flat position into my bed or should I leave my
legs hanging over the bed. I ask
this because I have trouble sleeping on my back and I wonder if I sit with
the weights over my bed and then (without standing) slide up into my bed and
sleep if it would be okay.
- Response:
I’m not sure if i understood your question.. but it's like this.. sit
or lie down with 35 lb iron plates EACH leg for 1 hour.. take 7-minute
break.. then sit for another hour.. and then un-strap all the weights (put
them on the ground) and go to sleep immediately (just normal sleeping)..
doesn't matter which position u sleep as long you're not standing or moving
around.. bones grow at night time as long you're lying still.
I've
read about your shinbone routine and was wondering if running up and down
stair cases with ankle weights would produce the same effect as jogging
around with ankle weights? Which is better
– indoor or outdoor running with ankle weights?
- Response: Running indoor or running
up and down the stairs isn't consistent because people tend to take between
breaks and slacking off. You have to experiment it and see what works for
you.
If you try outdoor running for 20 minutes non-stop with 4 lb ankle weight
each leg, you'll feel a much CONSISTENT trend of microfractures being
developed. Most of our shinbone experimenters prefer outdoor running. Also, we recommend
outdoor running because this type of exercise likely leads to
consistency as you’re able to accelerate at different speeds or even
keep at the same pace for a longer duration.
What
about those ankle weights? do i have to wear while I'm running?
- Response:
Running without ankle weights may produce sufficient microfractures and our
experimenter Andy has proven this to be true. However, we recommend jogging or running with
ankle weights (3 to 7 pound each leg) because doing so would lead to more
microfractures!
Jogging with ankle weights should be MORE effective than running without
ankle weights.
