In my last LSJL progress update, the conclusion most people seemed to feel was that people tended to agree that the right index finger was indeed longer than the left index finger but that they weren’t positive that it was due to LSJL and that it wasn’t due to my right index finger being naturally longer than the other.

So here’s some things I’m going to try going further.  I’m going to continue to clamp my right index finger to try to increase the difference from the left index finger.  I’ve also been clamping my left thumb to see if I can get a difference there and there does seem to be a progression.

But this does not increase height which has a lot of social value.  For ankle clamping, I was clamping between the tibia and the talus.  Well, I realized that my talus grew bigger.  What if the calcaneus grew bigger than the whole body would be elevated higher increasing height in a manner akin to high heels or shoe lifts.

The bone above the calcaneus is the talus(which has grown bigger and may in fact contribute to some of my height gains).  Getting enough force on the calcaneus to induce bone growth is easier as it doesn’t necessarily need to grow by the growth plate as there are no constraining factors on appositional bone growth like the joint does for the long bones.

I’ve done a few clamping sessions aiming for clamping the point between the talus and calcaneus and things seems to be going well.  It’s not as smooth as clamping the fingers as the bones are oddly shaped but I seem to be generating pressure and mechanical strain on the calcaneus.

I think showing calcaneus growth will be a way to inspire people to believe that growing taller is possible and it will also increase the height measurement too.  I’m still working on growing the legs evidence just points to that growth will be slow until a better clamp is developed that can generate more pressure.
