For the first time in 3 years, we've finally found a successor to Foster's success. His name is Alexei, a lumbar experimenter who has grown close to 2 centimeters in 2.5 months.

 

 

January 1st, 2008: Updated Lumbar Routine


        
The improved Lumbar Routine is outlined as follows:

*      Step 1:  All height increase routines have very low success rates partly due to lack of intensity & short duration. Therefore, to boost the success rate for everyone, ideally it’s encouraged that one should spend up to 2 hours stretching before bedtime and another 2 hours stretching in the morning – a total of 3 to 4 hours stretching daily. If you’re busy with work & school, try to manage your schedule accordingly & do the best you can. Focus 80% of your time on Exercise #1 because Foster has had tremendous success with it. The other 20% should be spent on other stretching exercises. Exercise #1 is illustrated below.

*      Step 2:  Go to sleep immediately following stretching exercises. Do NOT stand or walk around. According to scientists, “What was really interesting was that the bones were growing only when the animals were lying down, and almost no growth occurs when the lambs are standing or moving around.”

*      Step 3:  Perform stretching exercises in morning. As per Foster, “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.

*      Step 4:  Eat healthy protein-foods & drink lots of milk. Avoid sugar foods & try to decrease smoking & drinking.

*      Step 5:  Keep straight posture (with chest tight) at all times throughout the day. AVOID all ground-impact exercises such as running, jumping, & heavy-lifting because these weight-bearing activities will cause the cartilage disc fluid to squeeze back into the adjacent soft tissue.

*      Step 6:  As recommended by Foster, try to cycle vigorously everyday (or at least several times a week) if you can so to increase testosterone production. However, we still have no clear evidence linking vigorous biking and height growth. Stationary bike is okay.

Note:  The Lumbar routine outlined above is based from errors & trials from the past 3 years plus tips & success & experiences from Foster, Alexei, Sky, & his fellow lumbar experimenters. This lumbar routine will NOT include inversion techniques because experiments over the past year have shown that it’s highly difficult to grow permanent height gains with inversion (more details, click here!). Consult your physician or health care professional before performing any new exercise or exercise techniques. Never disregard or ignore professional medical advice because of something you have read on this site!
=======================================================

 

Preparation

Equipment #1: Go to Walmart or any retailers & purchase a layer of foam or a soft pillow. You’ll need it to perform some exercises and to prevent buttocks pain caused friction against the ground.

Equipment #2: You’ll also need a mattress.

 

 

Exercise #1:  This is the most important exercise as emphasized by Foster.

You should focus 80% of your routine on performing this.

 

Correct method: Exercise #1 - As pointed out by red arrows above, knees & legs should be slightly bent sideways so it’s easier to lower your head and extend hands & arms further. Quickly push as hard as you can when doing this with legs & knees slightly bent sideways, head lowered almost touching the ground, arms & hands extending further. Foster said that he went “much further than just touching my toes in fact I almost went as far as my elbows touching the ends of my toes.” The only way to extend your hands further is to do this quickly within 1 second. For example, lower your head & extend arms & hands out quickly in 1 second, then resume to normal sitting position, then again lower your head & reach out further, repeat this again and again for a total of 50 or 100 reps. Then take a few minutes to relax by performing other exercises such as backroll, cobra, or cat stretch. And then repeat Exercise #1. Try to do as much as 500 to 1000 reps in an hour or two. The more reps, the better! Also, to prevent the buttocks from sliding while doing the exercise, you may want to anchor your feet by pushing the feet against a heavy cardboard (picture above). Note that I even put some iron plates on the cardboard to keep it from moving (picture above).

Exercise #1 (another version) - Chair stretch – This same exercise can also be performed on a chair. Sitting on a chair is another alternative other than sitting on the ground since you can extend outward & further out. It's just another option to do this exercise as supposed to sitting on the ground. Note that your goal is not to touch the ground with your hands, but try to stretch your hands outward & further away from the legs. The further you stretch, the better the growth. Try to do 500 to 1,000 reps within 1 to 2 hours.

 

Wrong method: This method is incorrect because your legs & knees are not slightly bent sideways. By not bending sideways, it’s very difficult to reach down & extend further. It’s also incorrect as the head is not lowered enough. The only way for you to reach out further is to lower the head.

 

 

Other exercises:  These are exercises that you can perform & try to push as hard as you can with intensity every time. Remember to give priority on Exercise #1.

Cobra stretch view #1: Push as hard as you can to reach higher every time.

Cobra stretch view #2

Flexed cat stretch

Extended cat stretch


Ceiling stretch

Backroll stretch

 

 

FAQs


Updated: Dec. 31st, 2007


*      When can I expect to grow 1 centimeter? 2 cms? Will it be permanent gains?
- Results will vary and base on intensity & duration. The longer you stretch & the harder your stretch will most likely mean faster height growth. Many people fail to achieve permanent height gains with stretching because lack of duration & intensity.

As per Alexei’s explanation, “it make take up to 6 months for bone remodeling to occur. Here you are trying to remodel the cartilage discs between the spine, always remember it takes a complete 9 months for an embryo to grow into or develop into a full baby human being. Out of which our bone formation starts after approximately 3 months time (not very sure) but, yes the transformation of cartilage to bone (soft bones) takes longer than 4 months time.”

As per Foster’s explanation, “Your initial height increase might be about an inch, which could be fairly quickly, but this is probably due to improved posture. Increasing the cartilage is much harder and takes a lot longer.”

*      How much can I grow in a year?
- According to Foster, one may grow 2 inches in permanent gains in a year by following his stretching exercises. It’s unclear whether one can grow beyond the 2 inches – only time will tell.

*      I’m busy with work and school.. I can’t possibly stretch in the morning because I’m so tied up with getting on-time to work. What should I do?
- Manage your schedule accordingly. For example, if busy on Monday to Friday and unable to stretch in morning, then spend 2 hours or more stretching before bedtime. Give it all you’ve got and make up for the fact that you can’t stretch in the morning. Also make it up on weekends by stretching in the morning or on days off. In other words, do whatever you can & cope with obstacles.

*      Will I develop back pain from doing these stretching exercises?
- Foster has never mentioned anything in regards to back pain. Thus far, Alexei & other fellow experimenters have not said anything about it either. If you’re still concerned, then speak to your doctor.

*      I don’t know how Foster could consistently do backroll stretch daily for months.. because I’ve only done backroll stretches for a week and felt this miserable pain in my upper back and I plan to stop this. Is it okay?
-
Backroll stretch isn’t easy to do and it hurts the upper back for a good number of people. If that’s the case, stop doing the backroll stretch and focus on Exercise #1 and other exercises such as cat & cobra stretching.

*      What can I do during sleep?
- You can elevate the ends of your bed 8 to 14 inches high by inserting several pillows under your mattress. Your goal is to stimulate the same effect as seen with inversion table while sleeping. This sleeping technique may NOT contribute much to height increase but every bit helps. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping like this, then it’s okay to eliminate this technique from your routine. It’s not a big deal. Just focus on Exercise #1.

*      Why is it important to go to sleep immediately following stretching exercises?
- According to scientists, “growth plates may be springs that, during standing and walking, experience compression and tension. When these strains are eased, as when the animal lies down or goes to sleep, they resume growing.”

Go to sleep immediately following stretching exercises. Do NOT stand or walk around. According to scientists, “What was really interesting was that the bones were growing only when the animals were lying down, and almost no growth occurs when the lambs are standing or moving around.”

Subject: Lumbar routine news:I grew 2cms

Hi, here is my success story with lumbar routine and the turn of events. My current age is 28 years. Early September 2007 I started of my routine at a height of 171 cms night time height. Highlights: NO Supplements!

Activities: Cat stretch, Cobra , and some spine stretching exercises.

Main thing to be kept in mind is:  Keep stretching whenever you get time, try to keep straight posture ( with chest tight)

Current Height: 173cms (night 11.00 pm on 21st Nov 2007)

Special sleeping technique:  raise one side of the mattress of your bed (5-8cms) and hang your head and spine by that side.

Effect: Nearly simulates the same effect as the inversion table. keep hanging yourselves this way for 20 mins (after this you wont be able to do it, advisable to do this twice daily, before sleep and after sleep.)

I found your lumbar techniques on your website to be good ways, but this is not sufficient, I mean 50-100 repetitions is not sufficient. No way!!

No matter what exercise you do, start with 100 the first day, and by the end of the 5th day you should reach the levels of repetition  500-600. Now give a break of 2 days

By that I mean, 100 in the morning and 100 in the night, and by 5th day 500(600) in morning and 500(600) in the evening.
The key is: Don’t let your spine adapt itself to any kind of repeated force. Always keep it busy in the process of adaptation. its like this, when you apply a repeated force to a spring it keeps itself in the elastic limits, the moment you start applying greater force in each successive turn, the spring  starts loosing its elasticity and elongates.

This is somewhat similar to Bone remodeling! Here you are trying to remodel the cartilage discs between the spine, always remember it takes complete 9 months for an embryo to grow into or develop into a full baby human being. Out of which our  bones formation starts after approximately 3 months time(not very sure) but, yes the transformation of cartilage to bone(soft bones) takes longer than 4 months time.

Diet: Yes, milk consumption is very very necessary (1 litre at-least per day). Face it you cannot escape this. Also you should be a huge consumer of fibrous food.
2 tabs per day of cod liver oil if possible.
No white bread(less in fibers), only brown bread! spinach, bananas,eggs, chicken. take 4-5 small diets(of course). Other than the above list consume everything which is high in Fibres!

Alright, I will straight away come to my routine. Rest of the facts and figures most of you know! we all know what to do, but the question is are we doing enough??

Morning 5:30 am monday 100 repetitions of cat stretch and 100 repetitions of cobra, after this I sleep for an hour and get ready to go for my office. I am very fortunate to have a natural tuning to have a break in my morning sleep at 5.30 am it was my habit since I was 2 years old kid!

During the rest of the day I make it very sure to have my posture very straight and I keep telling my self that am growing , I have got nothing to loose!
When am back in the evening I do the cobra combined with stretches of 4 kinds.(100 to 500 progressive along the coming weeks)

1st: hyper extension that is to bend over my back
2nd:  to bend over my stomach.
3rd:  Right bend over
4th:  Left bend over.

This causes the same effect on my spine as it causes on a spring to bend it in all four direction, except for the fact that body can repair itself during a sound sleep! And sleep ........ at around 10 pm. 

I don’t know any other details, I blindly did this, all along the day whenever I am in the toilet I try to stretch myself (only spine). In approximately 3-4 weeks you will see a positive change in the height this will be the first result! After you gain a particular height keep doing maintenance exercises!

Regards
Alexei.
PS: I tried shin bone techniques, but left it, am not that athletic and can’t find a nice jogging track. I would like to know what new changes are you about to bring into the new shin bone techniques. I wish to gain 3 more cms at the least!

Subject: hey pals , how are you? I'm ALEXEI from PERU
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 23:05:12 +0000


hey pals , what's up? I m Alexei from Peru. I will resume the lumbar routine to the 100 percent probably in January. I had a problem with my stomach for a long time but AT LAST I'M CURED.

That's why I was not able to finished the lumbar routine and didn’t send  to you my pictures . Now I’m finishing my back pain treatment with acupuncture. I 'm almost finished with my back pain and I am getting ready to  start the lumbar routine next year to the 100 percent this time .I am sure that I will make my back to grow 4 cms or maybe up to 5 cms in 2 years. I have been thinking a lot about the results I could get If I followed the lumbar routine and other important things for 2 years. I have planned to grow 4 cms in one year and another 1 cm the second year. I think that I could grow 2 cms the first 6 months and 2 more cms the other 6 months and the second year would be the time to  consolidate the results and the possibility to grow another 1 cm. I will keep you updated about my treatment so I want you to do the same.

about the another treatment with HYPNOSIS . Do You really think that's a good way to grow taller after puberty? I don't think so. You are wasting your time I believe. You'd better concentrate with the lumbar routine cause that way could probably the best way to grow a little . We don't need our mind or something like SPACE or HIDDEN POWERS OF THE MIND to grow taller. I think is like trying to grow trough GOD'S POWERS and the thing here is to see us growing and not to see in our mind or dreams that we are taller. that's what I think. I hope your reply soon . greetings from peru

Hi, sorry, my email ID got hacked and deleted. No probs. I am back but I will delete this as well, as someone is trying to hack my privacy so will have to frequently delete and create my account. But don’t worry this wont stop me from telling you about my experiences with HI. And I will keep replying you from different IDs whenever I receive an increase.  I knew u must be having many questions. Ask them. I want to tell u that the simpler the exercise is.. the better the result is. Also I have thought about the ankle weights now and I have ordered 20lbs ankle weights from ebay. as in EU we don’t get any ankle weight above 5 lbs. with kicking instead of dangling them I can produce far more effect than 100 lbs I believe. I want one to half an inch in my articular cartilage and I will follow  Juan's path. (Notes: We would advise Alexei to NOT follow Juan’s shinbone routine due its very low success rate.. instead, we’d encourage him to religiously follow his lumbar routine).

However sky/Ryan I have to say one thing to you. you have given a lot of hope to many. According to me if someone is real tall then that’s you. Ryan, to this day I have reached the count of 750 reps of Cobra and  look at the figure in the attachment cant explain this exercise. see the attachment for the details of the second exercise (Notes: Alexei’s picture is very confusing so we won’t post it here).  Apart from these I keep doing other warm up exercises before I start these heavy ones. I actually don’t see any need of  running. the running causes only a little vibrations in the spine.

I rather advice someone to dance like MJ. 10-15 mins of music and dance daily produces equal amount of effect. concept of microfractures can be debunked. For the spine to grow u need lots of stretching force like u apply on a spring!! the more steeply you increase the force the more faster and profound the effect is.
But be careful there are nerves which can break, so, patience is the real key. i do the acrobat step (while dancing, in the toilet at the office, at my room) whenever I get time!! and usually end up with 20-30 acrobat reps per day!

My aim is 2- 3 cms more. And I knew its going to be tough! I gained my first 1.7 cms quickly, now I believe by next week I will finish my first  2 cms( i.e, 1.7 to 2 cms transition).

Yours
Alexei
PS: you actually need NOT to do any inversion or any kind of supplements!! But drink milk( 1 liter at least!!!) and take fibrous food. this is a must for any cartilage growth routine!! Eat egg, chicken, pulses (beans and whole grams). Cod liver oil can be a thing which u can take. try to smoke less and drink less. as drinking would not allow u to do your routine! Simpler the exercise the better will be the response of ur body. And dance is something u would do naturally with a sway (but MJ style) rather than running or jogging!!

==TO BE CONTINUED NEXT YEAR==

 

 

Foster’s Profile
How I grew 2 inches taller in 12 months by performing stretching

exercises 60-90 minutes daily plus INTENSE biking 18 to 20 miles daily

 

  • Name: Foster
    (Due to foster’s request, we can only reveal his last name)

  • Age: 38 years old (as of May 2006)…. Foster was 22 years old when he grew 2 inches (5.08 cm) taller in the spine within 12 months by performing stretching exercises and INTENSE biking for 20 miles daily.

  • Height growth:  All of his 2-inch gain occur in the spine.

  • Ethnicity: Caucasian

  • Location: United Kingdom… (possibly London, England)

  • Height gain: was 5 foot 10; now 6 feet (permanent height gain)

FAQs

 

  • When was the last time you heard from Foster?
    – Sky got in touch with Foster around October 2004. During this time, he was very helpful in answering Sky’s questions. The last time that we heard from Foster was around December 2004. Apparently, his email address was inactive.

  • Foster said that he was biking for 20 miles daily… how many kilometers (km) are in 20 miles?
    - 20 miles = 33.3 km

  • Did Foster bike for 10 miles.. then take a rest… and then bike another 10 miles a few hours later?
    - He didn’t really say that.. but in general, it’s smart to take a break after 10 miles of intense biking… you may choose to do another 10 miles 2 or 8 hours later… up to you!

  • Is Foster’s story credible?
    – Different people may have different opinions. For instance, some may argue that it’s not possible to grow 2 inches within a year (such as Foster’s case); whereas others (such as Sky & our team) truly believe Foster’s story.

  • Foster said he was biking 20 miles daily… was he biking with raised saddle seat?
    - No, he never bike with raised saddle seat. He was just biking in a normal position but very intense.

  • Any Foster’s pictures?
    – None

  • When did Foster grow 2 inches?
    – Foster was 22 years old when he grew 2 inches (5.08 cm) taller in 12 months by performing stretching exercises & strenuous biking. He’s now 38 years old. His success story is not current because he simply brought back the memories & flashbacks of what he did in 1990 (16 years ago).

  • Is Foster height permanent?
    – Yes, it’s permanent height gain. His before height was 5 feet 10. He has grown 2 inches taller and is now 6 feet tall.

  • If you guys had Foster’s success story back in October 2004, why did it take you so long to finally reveal his story on your website?
    – We actually revealed Foster’s story on our website back in early 2005; however, we had to take it down because we had other backbone projects in mind such as Alfalfa, swimming, shin bone routine, Alexander technique, stationary & kinetic inversion, etc.

  • How is it possible that Foster grew 2 inches in such a short period of time (1 year)?
    – It’s possible that vigorous biking is the answer. Vigorous biking can generate massive amounts of testosterones & growth hormones which can accelerate the bone and muscle growth.

Foster’s stretching exercises


Exercise #1: This is Foster’s main exercise which he focused 80% of his time.


In Foster’s own words:

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.”

 

Exercise #2: The other exercise is backroll stretch. Note that this exercise can cause temporary pain in the upper back. If you cannot handle this, then skip this exercise & focus on others.

In Foster’s own words:

“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.”

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 as well.  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.

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

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 colleagues 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 skeptical. 

 

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 centimeter or so but with his I could fit the ends of four of my fingers in.  This only occurred 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 America.  But I did hear from one person about 8 years ago that he had been to a school reunion and that he was over 6 foot 7 inches tall.  So it looks like he'd grown another 3 to 4 inches from when he left school.

 

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 as well.  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 sugar.  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 America.  It was advertised in one of them Marvel comic magazines.  They showed a routine of stretching exercise, the importance of diet and other things like plenty of sleep and keeping a good posture throughout the day etc... It was quite good but I felt they didn't emphasize enough on really stretching the spine to it's limit when doing the exercises so I improved in this routine a little.  They also didn't mention the importance of doing the exercises first thing in the morning which I specifically remember 'Nick' telling me about many years ago at school.  And they never mentioned the importance of increasing testosterone production.

 

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 questions you asked later on this week.

Hi SKy

Are you sure they live in Thailand I was sure he told me they were in his own Country.  Was over 10 years ago so maybe I'm wrong.
