Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 01:52:33 +0100 (BST) From: "Foster" <EDITED@yahoo.co.uk> Add to Address Book Subject: Missing ingredient! To: webmaster@easyheight.com Hi… Something I've noticed is that a great number of people who achieved any amount of height increase did so with not only stretching exercises but with a good deal of strenuous exercise aswell. I really believe that in order to achieve effective height increase you have to combine stretching exercises with increased testosterone ( with long bouts of strenuous exercises) Many years ago (aged 22), I'm 36 now, I done some stretching
exercises (mainly stretching spine) in the hope to increase height. I was successful and achieved a total
increase of 2 inches. But the
thing I noticed after a whole year of diligent application was that I only
achieved gains when I was also extremely active. So I combined these stretching
exercises with 45 to 60 mins of strenuous cycling everyday along with about
30 to 45 mins of strenuous jogging (or playing soccer/basketball) and the
gains I got were very good - about 1/4 - 1/2 an inch every month. When I just
did the stretching exercises without the strenuous exercises I never got any
gains at all - nothing. So there
has to be an important connection here. With regard to your shin bone routine I'm sure that if you created the microfactures by jumping up and down for a length of time before you sit with ankle weights then you will see greater results. It is my belief that jumping would create more microfactures than anything else - even kicking. And then when you sit with ankle weights this would give the necessary pull while the cartilage remodels itself I hope you can find some useful information here and I wish you the best of luck in your quest to find an effective routine. Regards >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Sky Just read your reply and will send you all the information you want. Rather than answer all the questions in one go what I will do is send you one e-mail at a time with one or two questions answered. I am a little busy with work but will find the time to try to answer your questions as thoroughly as possible. I'll start in the next e-mail how I first found out height increase was possible. Regards, Foster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2004 14:24:47 +0100 (BST) From: "Foster" <EDITED@yahoo.co.uk> Add to Address Book Subject: Re: long message - hope u'll have the time ~ To: webmaster@easyheight.com Hi Sky With regard to how I first found out about height increase was at the age of about 15/16. I had known this boy (Nick) for a good many years and he was a little taller than most of the other boys but not exceptionally so. However, in the space of a year or two he seemed to grow very tall. I never really thought much of it as he was probably just having a growth spurt. Then one day we were all sitting down on chairs in morning assembly and I was sitting next to Nick. As we were sitting there Nick just decided to stretch, whilst still sitting down, and he just towered over me - almost as much as he does when standing up. I remember thinking that this was odd. Surely, as with most other people most of that extra height was in the legs and not the upper part of the body. On another occasion, in the gym, he was sitting down on a bench next to another lad (of average height) and they were measuring their legs against each others and there was no difference. And yet when they stood up he was over 6 inches taller. Anyways, to cut a long story short, he told me he found a journal his father had (he was a policeman and apparently one of his collegues gave it to him) and this gave a series of exercises in order to increase height by lengthening the spine. At the time I was amazed but sceptical. But you could see looking at Nick that he did have a very long upper
body. Also, he told me to touch
his spine and feel the gaps in his vertebra. Now with most people this gap(the
cartilage) is only a centimetre or so but with his I could fit the ends of
four of my fingers in. This only
occured in the middle of the back. He told me he does many stretching exercises every morning for an
hour and also half an hour before he goes to bed which mainly consist of
exercises like touching the ends of your toes as far as possible, lying down
and stretching your legs over your head as far as possible etc... You could
see from the muscles in his stomach (and not anywhere else) that he certainly
used these muscles a lot. I did ask him to bring the journal in and he said he would
but he would have to ask his Father first. I never did get to see the journal but
I only ever asked him once as I had about 101 other things on my mind. At the end of the month we all left
school anyway so I never saw him again.
I left to live at the other end of the country and the last I heard of
him was he was living in So before I even attempted to increase my height I knew that it was possible and will I e-mail you about this when I can. Regards Foster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Sky With regards to the height increase exercises they mainly considered
of exercises that pull on the middle vertebra and neck. For example if you sit down on the
floor and touch the ends of your toes ( toes pointing forwards and head down)
to begin with and then try to go further each time and every time you touch your
toes sit upright and put hands on hips and stretch upwards for a few seconds
- and then touch toes again. I
remember after a while I could go
much further than just touching my toes in fact I almost went as far as my
elbows touching the ends of my toes.
Really push as hard as you can when doing this. This is the most effective exercise I
know of to increase the gap between your vertebra. Another exercise I done was when lying down on back lift your legs
straight over your head , keeping your legs straight, toes pointing and hands
flat on floor. Then go back to
normal position and repeat again and again. You should pull your legs as far as
possible passed your head so that your kneecaps actually go beyond your head
as well. You should really
feel the pull around the neck area and middle of back. This is a very strenuous exercise and
takes a while to get proficient at this. The other exercises I did were again mainly stretching exercises similar to the above but the point is to concentrate on these two exercises, particularly the first, as these are the best. In my exercise I would usually spend about 25 to 30 mins on just these two exercise and about 10 to 15 mins on the others. I would do about 80 on the first exercise, 40 on the second, maybe do another exercise then go back to first etc... One vitally important point to remember is always to do these exercises as soon as you wake up in the morning. The cartilage has expanded to almost it's maximum after about 8 hours of sleep so any pull on it at this time is going to be more effective. And really pull/stretch as far as possible when doing these exercises. The harder you pull the more effective the routine. I personally feel that the stretching of the back muscles also in some way play there part in stretching the cartilage. I would also perform this routine last thing at night and 'straight after' go to bed. Before I actually done the exercise at nighttime however I would hang upside down for about 10 – 15 mins. Back then I hadn't heard of inversion boots so I had to use my own boots which I padded and put rope around and then used a strong iron bar in between two large wardrobes I had in my bedroom. It took a while but I eventually adjusted/improved it enough to be quite comfortable. And whilst hanging there I would move around a bit up and down so there was a slight pull on my spine. I done this mainly because I wanted my spine to be at its full height before I actually done the exercises. And then 'straight after' this I would do the exercise routine. Now the thing I discovered
to be most important was that whenever I had weeks where I was extremely
active in sport I had the gains in height. It took me a long time to realise this
and I grew very frustrated when some weeks I would have gains and others none
at all. In fact I went
over 3 months (where I was very inactive) where I didn't gain anything and it
was at this time I put 2 and 2 together and realised the connection.
Originally, when I was active I used to play soccer almost every day for 90
mins, I used to go to the gym 3 times a week and various other activities. But I decided that when I was going to do the height increase
exercise I was going to cycle for about 1hour to 1hour 30 mins everyday as
hard as I could as I noticed that a few years earlier when I used to cycle a
lot almost everyday (because I wanted to have leg muscles like these
professional cyclists) that I had to shave a lot more than usual. It was very noticable and when I gave
up the cycling (because of a new job I had ) my shaving went back to normal. I can only guess that this was
probably due to the increased testosterone generated with this cycling. I picked a spot where I was going to cycle to which was about 10 miles away and I would cycle there and back as hard as possible. I done this as soon as I finished work to get it over and done with. I would also do this on my days of aswell. Picking a spot and aiming for this I feel is much better than just going out and cycling without any direct route. To me this was the distance I felt was right in order to generate more testosterone. I also used to have a protein drink twice a day which consisted of soya protein and complan. I made sure I ate healthily and cut right down on junk food and suger. In my previous e-mail I told you about someone I knew at school who increased his height and from what I can remember the exercises he performed were very similar to the ones I described above. However, he never done any extra exercises to generate more testosterone. So from this I can only conclude that when your 15/16 years old you're already generating an excessive amount of testosterone. Those who are older will need to find some other way to tweak the production of more testosterone. I found out about the exercises from a cheap looking paperback
book I purchased from I did originally say that I had gains of about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch but it just doesn't work like this. There are so many other factors involved that it would be impossible to say that every month you will gain 1/4 of an inch. After one month you might get much less than 1/4 inch and then suddenly two weeks later you've suddenly got an increase of up 1/2 an inch. So it's probably best to measure yourself every 6 to 8 weeks. I think I've covered most of the information here and will send you another e-mail with some of the other questons you asked later on this week. Regards Foster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi SKy Are you sure they live in About the Phil Campbell book - I actually purchased this almost a year ago and did find it very interesting reading. The only thing I can comment on this is that personally I don't think that if you were to incorporate a few sprints into your programme it's going to make much difference. If you were to jog for about 60 mins and incorporate 8 or 9 sprints into this session then it would probably be more effective. What I did notice was that I did get a bit lazy in
my exercise routine and thought that cycling just for 10 miles as hard as I
could, every day, would be sufficient - but it wasn't. 20 miles was what was needed for me to
increase my growth hormone and see result from my stretching exercises. Increasing sufficient testosterone is
hard work. If you go out and
cycle, at a good pace, for 18 – 20 miles you'll get this wonderful
feeling of calm over you for the rest of the day and the next. At first you'll be very tired but you
soon get used to it. If you go out and do just 5 or 6 sprints you don't get
any really good noticeable side effects. You must do MORE sprints!! However, I noticed that Phil Campbell has exercise routine's that do last for about 20 mins. If you try his routine first I would be very interested in your results. If this works it would certainly be more practical for most people than my exercise routine. If you don't get very good results then I suggest you try less vigorous exercise for a much longer period of time. Foster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi Sky, Just a quick response before I'm off on my hols. With regard to the jumping it was just an observation on my part. I don't feel I have enough experience here to make an informed comment. I think this is just something your going to have to find out yourself. When I was cycling I didn't raise my seat as increasing length of legs was not my objective at the time. Had I been more informed I most certainly would have done this as now I do believe that you can use the raised seat on cycle method to good effect so long as you cycle long and hard enough. I think it will be harder with less results than stretching the spine but you should still get results. From what I can rememeber the cycling definately took longer than an
hour - I think it was about 1hour and 30 mins up to 1hour 45 mins. I'd have to disagree on a few points though. Increasing height is definitely not an easy task. Only those totally committed will gain anything. You have an up hill battle on your hands in trying to convince people to exercise for 1 to 2 hours everyday + do the stretching routine as most people are quite lazy and want easy options. Secondly, I think you can analyse and analyse but at the end of the day you will only find out if it works and not why it works. I don't think you can simplify it with just microfractures and HGH/testosterone. Also, do you think people who are obese, have some form of sugar metabolism problem (diabetes, hypoglycemia)which account for over half the population are going to get good results. People with a sugar metabolism problem usually have problems absorbing protein, vitamins minerals etc.. necessary for proper growth. And there are a whole lot of people out there who don't even know they have this. This is just one example in what you are up against in formulating the perfect formula for increasing height. So another necessary requirement to get effective height increase is that you must be in good health. Just a few observations Regards Foster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sky’s question: hey foster.. your story sounds like this guy.. his name is Leo who grew 2.5 inches taller in the legs within 4 months by biking with raised saddle seat for 20 miles everyday… His story sounds so much like yours! We’ve tried this method but failed to continue because others have warned that improper biking with raised seat may lead to disproportional legs….. anyway, below is Leo’s story… does it sound familiar?? -----------Leo’s story----------------------- When I was 23
years old I used to cycle to college which was about 10 miles away - so there
and back is 20 miles in total. I read somewhere about increasing saddle height
so your legs are stretched when you cycle - so it gives a slight pull on the legs.
It's bloody sore to start off with but you get used to it after a week. I done
this every day for 4 months (along with plenty of protein drinks) and
increased the length of my legs by over 2.5 inches - increasing saddle height
1/4 inch every few weeks. I honestly believe that any one
regardless of age can achieve this and more - the legs are literally forced
to grow to accommodate all that pulling and stretching. But I never see
anyone else singing the praises of cycling to increase height - am I the only
one? -----END------ Foster’s response: Hi Sky! The similarities are amazing. But no it's not me. I wish I'd seen this before as increasing the length of the legs would have been much more suitable for me as I'm one of these people who are shorter in the leg and longer in the body than normal anyway- even before I increased my height. This is exactly what I was talking about. Without him probably realising it he was actually doing two vital things here at the same time. One was stretching the legs and the other was increasing testosterone with the long cycling journey. I did actually come across a story on stretching legs by cycling many years ago but I had always thought and still do that any significant height increase will occur only in the spine. The cartilage in the spine, I think, is more easily influenced by pressure than the cartilage in the knees. I know for a fact that there is a tribe in Africa where
the women put metal rings around there neck which push the neck to grow
longer - up to 6 to 10 inch longer.
I read about it somewhere and when talking to a work collegue who
originally came from As for how long it took me to gain the results I really can't remember the details so I'll have to try and see if I can find any notes I put down on this as I was always writing things in journals. I do remember that during my experiment I gained a little then nothing, then a little, then nothing etc.. until I worked out that combining exercises with the stretching was what worked. When I combined the cycling with the stretching I think I gained
about 1.5 inches in about 7 to 8 months. Total gain was about 2 inches. Initial height was 5 foot 10
inches and as of today still standing at a proud 6 foot. I'm pretty much certain that if I
continued with this for another year I would probably be standing at least 6
foot 2 inches tall now. As from tomorrow I will be working 12 hours a day for the next 3 days and then I will be going away on holiday for the next 3 weeks so you might have to wait a little while for my next reply thats why I tried to cram in as much as possible today. All the best Regards Foster -----END----- |

Growth hormone responses to repeated bouts of
aerobic exercise with different recovery intervals in cyclists. Sartorio A, Agosti F, Marinone PG, Proietti M, Lafortuna
CL. 3rd Division of Metabolic Diseases, Italian Institute for Auxology,
IRCCS, Milano, Italy. sartorio@auxologico.it To characterise the specific GH responses to repeated
bouts of standardised aerobic exercise in amateur competitive cyclists, 6
volunteers (mean age +/- SE: 28.7 +/- 2.3 yr, range: 18-35 yr) performed two
consecutive 30-min cycling sessions at 80% of individual maximal oxygen
uptake on three occasions with different time interval between bouts: 2 h (EXP
A), 4 h (EXP B) and 6 h (EXP C). Serum GH concentration was determined in
blood samples collected at 15-min intervals during exercise and following 1 h
of recovery. In EXP A and EXP B, peak GH concentration in response to the
second bout was significantly lower (p < 0.01) than that of the first
bout, but in EXP C no difference was detected between bouts. Similarly, the
average integrated GH concentration (AUC), determined during the exercise
period and in the following 1 h of recovery in the course of the second bout,
was significantly lower than that observed during the first bout only in EXP
A (p < 0.05) and EXP B (p < 0.01) and not in EXP C, so that the second
bout AUC of EXP C was significantly higher than that of EXP A (p < 0.01)
and EXP B (p < 0.01). It was concluded that GH responses to subsequent
bouts of aerobic exercise are dependent on the time interval between the
exercise sessions. PMID: 16075917 [PubMed - indexed
for MEDLINE] Stokes K, Nevill M, Frystyk J, Lakomy H, Hall G. Sport and Exercise Science Group, School for Health, This study examined the growth hormone (GH)
response to repeated bouts of sprint cycling. Eight healthy men
completed three trials consisting of two 30-s sprints on a cycle ergometer
separated by either 60 min (Trial A) or 240 min (Trial B) of recovery and a
single 30-s sprint carried out the day after Trial B (Trial C). Trials A and
B were separated by at least 7 days. Blood samples were obtained at rest and
during recovery from each sprint. In Trial A, GH was elevated immediately
before sprint 2, and there was no further increase in GH following the second
sprint [area under the curve: 460 (SD 348) vs. 226 min.mug(-1).l(-1) (SD
182), P = 0.05]. Free insulin-like growth factor I tended to be lower
immediately before sprint 2 than sprint 1 (P = 0.06). Serum free fatty acids
were not different immediately before each of the sprints. In Trial B, there
was a trend for a smaller GH response to the second sprint [GH area under the
curve: 512 (SD 396) vs. 242 min.mug(-1).l(-1) (SD 190), P = 0.09]. Free
insulin-like growth factor I tended to be lower (P = 0.06), and serum free
fatty acids were higher (P = 0.01) immediately before sprint 2 than sprint 1.
There was no difference in the GH response to sprinting on consecutive days
(Trials B and C). In conclusion, repeated bouts of sprint cycling on
the same day result in an attenuation or even ablation of the
exercise-induced increase in GH, depending on the recovery interval between
sprints. PMID: 15920098 [PubMed - indexed

Recreation Management, The present study examined the growth hormone (GH)
response to repeated bouts of maximal sprint cycling and the effect of
cycling at different pedaling rates on postexercise serum GH concentrations.
Ten male subjects completed two 30-s sprints, separated by 1 h of passive
recovery on two occasions, against an applied resistance equal to 7.5% (fast
trial) and 10% (slow trial) of their body mass, respectively. Blood samples
were obtained at rest, between the two sprints, and for 1 h after the second
sprint. Peak and mean pedal revolutions were greater in the fast than the
slow trial, but there were no differences in peak or mean power output. Blood
lactate and blood pH responses did not differ between trials or sprints. The first
sprint in each trial elicited a serum GH response (fast: 40.8 +/- 8.2 mU/l,
slow: 20.8 +/- 6.1 mU/l), and serum GH was still elevated 60 min after the
first sprint. The second sprint in each trial did not elicit a serum GH
response (sprint 1 vs. sprint 2, P < 0.05). There was a trend for
serum GH concentrations to be greater in the fast trial (mean GH area under
the curve after sprint 1 vs. after sprint 2: 1,697 +/- 367 vs. 933 +/- 306
min x mU(-1) x l(-1); P = 0.05). Repeated sprint cycling results in an attenuation
of the GH response. PMID: 11796670 [PubMed - indexed
for MEDLINE] Zoladz JA, Duda K, Konturek SJ, Sliwowski Z, Pawlik T,
Majerczak J. Department of Muscle Physiology, AWF-Krakow, BACKGROUND: Strenuous exercise was reported to involve the
alteration in the release of some "stress" hormones such as growth
hormone (GH), cortisol, catecholamines and appropriate adjustment of energy
metabolism but the relative contribution of these hormones to metabolic
response, to cycling exercise performed at different muscle shortening velocities,
has not been clarified. AIMS: The purpose of this experiment was to assess the
effect of applying different pedalling rates during a prolonged incremental
cycling exercise test on the changes in the plasma levels of growth hormone,
cortisol, insulin, glucagon and leptin in humans. Material and
METHODS: Fifteen healthy non-smoking men (means +/- SD: age 22.9 +/- 2.4
years; body mass 71.9 +/- 8.2 kg; height 178 +/- 6 cm; with VO2max of 3.896
+/- 0.544 1 x min(-1), assessed in laboratory tests, were subjects in this
study. The subjects performed in two different days a prolonged incremental
exercise tests at two different pedalling rates, one of them at 60 and
another at 120 rev x min(-1). During this tests the power output has
increased by 30 W every 6 minutes. The tests were stopped when the subject
reached about 70 % of the VO2max. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We have
found that choosing slow or fast pedalling rates (60 or 120 rev min(-1)),
while generating the same external mechanical power output, had no
effect on the pattern of changes in plasma cortisol, insulin, glucagon,
glucose and leptin concentrations. But, generation of the same external
mechanical power output at 120 rev min(-1) causes more stepper increase (p
< 0.01) in the plasma growth hormone concentration [GH]pl and plasma
lactate concentrations [La]pl when compared to that observed during cycling
at 60 rev x min(-1). We have also found that the onset of a significant
increase in [GH]pl during cycling at 60 rev x min(-1) was not accompanied by
significant increase in [La]pl. While during cycling at 120 rev x min(-1) the
onset of a significant increase in [La]pl occurred without increase in
[GH]pl, but with continuation of exercise when plasma [La]pl increased, there
was also a parallel rise in plasma [GH]pl, as reported before. This results
indicates that the increase in [GH]pl during exercise is not closely related
to the increase in [La]pl. PMID: 12369738 [PubMed - indexed
