April 6^th, 2007: Inversion exercises discontinued - Failed Experiment! – After 6 months of doing inverted sit-ups, we’ve concluded that it may be possible to achieve temporary height gains; however, it’s highly difficult to grow permanent growth in the spine. Therefore, we're NO LONGER experimenting with inversion exercises. For details, click here!

      Lumbar Routine:
– How anyone 18-45 years may POSSIBLY grow 1 to 1.75 inches taller in the next 6 to 12 months. By staying consistent with this routine for at least 8 months, you’ll have a very high chance at gaining permanent height.

* Success rate prediction:  1^st attempt – 60%
                                              2^nd attempt – 70 to 80%
                                              3^rd attempt – 90 to 100%
Not everyone will successfully grow taller on their first attempt.. it may take 2 or even 3 attempts to learn from your mistakes & re-modify your routine to increase the intensity!

* Growth rate prediction: 0.5 inch or 1.3 cm (3 months)
                                           1 inch or 2.54 cm (6 months)
                                          1.5 to 2 inches or 3.81 cm to 5.1 cm (12 to 15 months)
Note:  At month 3, you may see a growth of half an inch or 1.3 cm; however, 20-40% of this growth may NOT be permanent. Similarly, at month 6, you may see a growth of 1 inch or 2.54 cm; however, 20-40% of this growth may NOT be permanent. Within the first 2-3 months, as nature intended, your spine is designed to compress immediately after you wake up in the morning. With the help of gravity, the spine wants to resist against the forces of stretching or inversion exercises so that it can coil back into its original shape. That’s exactly the reason why astronauts temporarily grow up to 2 inches taller in space and eventually lose all of these gains in 10 days after arriving earth.

Therefore, to successfully grow taller, you’ll need to be extremely consistent with the routine (do NOT be lazy) and commit to it for at least 8 months to see permanent gains.
* Level of difficulty:  Easy
* Equipments:  Inversion boots ($110)
                          Chin-dip-leg-raise ($250) OR ez-up Inversion Rack ($150)
                          Dumbbell weights ($20)
Note: Google around to find the best prices. With inversion, you’d better off get the brand Bodytrends inversion boots since they’re the best on the market.
* Milk, foods, & protein supplements:  cost about $25 US monthly
* Total time spent daily:  about 3 hours
* Height seeker population:  This routine may be appropriate for anyone who is willing to put out 3 hours daily. The routine may NOT be suitable for busy business people or college students due to the time required to exercise daily. However, we have another Lumbar Routine version #2 for these individuals.

How to prepare

50 to 160 half-way inverted sit-ups daily

      FOR EXAMPLE:

Morning OR Evening (30 minutes):
- Perform 10 inverted sit-ups with 10 dumbbell weight each hand (takes about 30 seconds).
- Take a 3-minute break by sitting on the chin-leg-raise dip or getting off to stretch your spine, waist, and hips.
- Resume and perform another 10 inverted sit-ups, then take 3-minute break, then 10 inverted sit-ups, then break, again repeat this process over and over until you’ve completed about 50 to 60 inverted sit-ups (the whole process will take you about 30 MINUTES).

Evening OR Bedtime (30 minutes):
- Follow the exact same sequence as above.

Note: To increase the growth rate a little bit, you should slowly build tolerance and increase the intensity level EVERY 2 to 3 MONTHS such as doing 13 inverted sit-ups at a time while holding 7-10 pound dumbbell weight each hand. For instance, in 30 minutes, do 13 inverted sit-ups, then take 3-minute break, then another 13 inverted sit-ups, then break, and repeat this until you’ve covered about 70-80 inverted sit-ups (will take you about 30 MINUTES).

   How to do inverted sit-ups:

Inverted sit-up w/ weights (all-the-way)
This extreme method is more intense and is designed for experienced trainers – You may choose to follow this once you’ve reached the threshold. Many experimenters claim that curling the body all the way as indicated above is just too challenging!

Inverted sit-up w/ weights (half-way)
This method is more reasonable and is suitable for many people. Here, I’m holding 10 lb each hand.. you can see that my body only curls half-way and then drops downward. This method is very efficient since you can do more sets. Again, if you cannot tolerate this kind of intensity, then slowly start with 8 lb each hand. Remember, the more weights, the better! We now highly recommend this type of half-way of inverted sit-ups for almost everyone!

      What is the difference between all-the-way inverted sit-ups and half-way inverted sit-ups?
- With all-the-way inverted sit-ups, your body curls all the way in which your head will come in contact with your knees, which is very difficult to perform and is designed for experienced trainers.

On the other hand, with half-way inverted sit-ups, your body will only curl half-way, which is enough to strengthen the spine… as your curl half-way, then drop your body downward, then resume to curl half-way again.. and repeat this. Many experimenters claim that they can do many sets with half-way inverted sit-ups. We believe you still have the potential to grow taller by doing half-way inverted sit-ups.
