Foster’s success story (updated October 2004) How I grew 2 inches taller in 12 months by performing

Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 01:52:33 +0100 (BST) From: "Foster" EDITED@yahoo.co.uk 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 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. 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> 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 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 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 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. 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 definitely 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 colleague 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 that’s why I tried to cram in as much as possible today. All the best Regards Foster -----END----- |

Early evidence behind lumbar disc remodeling |
||
|
|
In the lumbar area of the spine, there are 5 cartilage discs (made of
fibrocartilage) and they are naturally two to three times thicker than the
rest of the discs which are located in the middle & upper back. Since the lumbar discs are bigger,
they are more flexible and are easily influenced by such stretching &
pulling forces. Therefore,
almost 70 to 90% of your cartilage disc thickening will occur in the lumbar
area. |
|
|
|
is strongly influenced by the effects of certain hormones
on the development of the 26 skeletal bones and the cartilageneous portions
of the 62 bones of the lower body. The stimulation of the pituitary gland
would increase hormonal production, which would then spur the growth of the
cartilageneous portions of the bones of the lower body, ultimately leading to
height increase. |
|
|
|
This is because besides the length of the femur bone (thighbone), shinbone, and other bones in the lower body, the length of the spinal column in the upper body also significantly contributes to human height (about 35% of the total height). By performing intense stretching exercises outlined by Foster, the 5 cartilage discs in the lumbar area will undergo the tear-repair process as they will possibly grow up to 1 inch (or 2.5 cm) within 6 months. Foster grew a total of 2 permanent inches in 12 months. At the same time, the muscle mass in the abdominal and back area will increase significantly as they contribute another 0.5 cm to 1 cm in growth. Human spinal column consists of 33 separate bone segments known as vertebrae held together by ligaments (tough and fibrous tissue). Out of these 33 vertebrae, only the lowest 9 are fused into two immovable bones, the sacrum and the coccyx, forming the back of the pelvis. |

Scientists agree: “Bones
grow at night time” |
|
Note:
It’s important to stretch before bedtime and first thing in the
morning after waking up because “the cartilage has expanded to
almost its maximum after about 8 hours of sleep so any pull on it at this
time is going to be more effective.” During non-weight
bearing activities (sleeping) the discs expand as they soak up fluid,
increasing the length of the spine by as much as one inch overnight. In
addition, any stress or pull exerted on the spine right before bedtime is
important as scientists agree that bones heal and grow at night.
