Q & A
What is the main topic of the video by Victor from Cyborg for Life?
-The main topic of the video is to discuss whether a person can make a full recovery and achieve the same level of physical performance after undergoing limb lengthening surgery.
What does Victor clarify about the terms 'full recovery' and 'peak athletic performance'?
-Victor clarifies that 'full recovery' means the bones and soft tissues are fully healed, and one has regained full flexibility, while 'peak athletic performance' refers to performing at one's maximum athletic potential, which is different and often higher than what is achieved post-surgery.
According to Victor, what is the impact of a limb lengthening surgery on a person's maximum athletic performance?
-Victor explains that any untouched body undergoing a major orthopedic procedure like limb lengthening will never be the same, and even a small incision can technically degrade one's maximum performance to some extent.
What does Victor suggest about the potential for increased athleticism after limb lengthening surgery?
-Victor suggests that with intense training post-surgery, many patients could become more athletic than they were before surgery due to the increased training stimulus, even if their bodies are only 90 to 95 percent capable.
What factors does Victor mention as important for regaining athleticism post-surgery?
-Victor mentions time, healing and rebuilding speed, rehab and flexibility, biomechanics, device removal, and nutrition as important factors for regaining athleticism post-surgery.
How does Victor describe the process of adapting to new biomechanics after limb lengthening?
-Victor describes the process as one that affects proprioception and requires time to adapt through proprioceptive training, which can be awkward but is necessary for regaining athletic ability.
What is the impact of limb lengthening on weightlifting according to Victor?
-Victor states that weightlifting can be affected due to changes in stance required to prevent excessive forward lean or posterior pelvic tilt, but it has less impact compared to aggressive agility or speed activities.
Why does Victor emphasize the importance of nutrition in the recovery process after surgery?
-Victor emphasizes nutrition because it is crucial for full recovery, allowing the body to rebuild and heal effectively, and can contribute to achieving greater athletic feats post-surgery.
What is the estimated time frame for achieving full recovery after limb lengthening surgery according to Victor?
-Victor estimates that it takes on average two to three years to achieve full recovery after limb lengthening surgery, but this can vary based on individual healing and rehabilitation.
What is the final message Victor gives about the possibility of regaining peak athletic ability after surgery?
-Victor's final message is that it is possible to make a full recovery and regain 90 to 98 percent of one's peak athletic ability after surgery, provided the surgery goes well, proper rehab is done, and full flexibility is achieved.
Outlines
🤔 The Truth About Recovery Post-Surgery
Victor from Cyborg for Life discusses the possibility of making a full recovery after limiting surgery. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between full recovery and achieving peak athletic performance. Full recovery means complete healing of bones and soft tissues, and regaining full flexibility. Achieving peak performance, however, implies reaching one's maximum athletic potential, which is rare outside of elite athletes. Victor points out that while a body undergoing major surgery will never be the same, it doesn't preclude one from performing pre-surgery activities at a high level. He suggests that with intense post-surgery training, one could potentially become more athletic than before.
💪 Factors Influencing Post-Surgery Athleticism
The second paragraph delves into the factors that affect how much athleticism one can regain after limb lengthening surgery. Time is a significant factor, with full recovery taking an average of two to three years, depending on individual healing and rehabilitation progress. Biomechanics also play a crucial role, as surgery can alter one's center of gravity and proprioception, affecting movement and agility. Device removal is another critical aspect; having a lengthening device implanted can limit athletic ability, but once removed, further recovery and training can lead to improved performance. Nutrition is highlighted as an often-overlooked but vital component of recovery, with Victor advocating for a diet optimized for one's macro ratios to support the healing and rebuilding process. In conclusion, with proper surgery, safe limits, full rehabilitation, and flexibility, one can expect to regain 90 to 98% of their peak athletic ability.

Transcripts
hey what's going on guys it's victor
from cyborg for life and today i want to
talk about whether or not you can make a
full recovery after limiting surgery or
not actually what he really means is
he's here to tell the truth about
whether you can make a full recovery or
not and do what you did before limited
surgery uh
who are you
what do you mean i'm you just the much
much cooler version that's right
okay so what are you doing here anyway
man i'm trying to shoot a video no what
you were about to do is regurgitate some
bs about make sure you do your rehab
guys it'll make all the difference they
get it pt is hella important and if they
don't get it well then they're screwed
but what they really want to hear is
they're going to pay near six figures to
break their legs go through a six-month
hiatus of hell have to re-learn how to
walk properly again the least you can do
is tell them if they're gonna be able to
run jump and play the same as before you
know what i mean cyborg vic bruh
you know you're real
gotta take this it's important
hey babe how are you doing
great great
remember the truth so what are you up to
oh cool
uh you know just talking to some chump
yeah yeah i did get your message so what
i think i think that we should really
alright you guys want to know the truth
about whether or not you can make a full
recovery after limiting surgery the
truth is
so yes you can make a full recovery
after limiting surgery but there's quite
a bit of factors that we need to
consider first up is differentiating
between what it means to make a full
recovery and achieve peak athletic
performance because both these terms are
used interchangeably but they actually
mean different things
so making a full recovery means you know
your length and bone and or bones are
fully healed after your surgeon says so
after seeing the final x-rays as well as
your soft tissues like your muscles
nerves and so on it also means that you
regain full flexibility in your limbs
and you have the potential to do the
activities that you did pre-surgery okay
now achieving peak athletic performance
on the other hand means that you're able
to do your activities at your maximum
athletic potential assuming that you
were even able to reach this peak
capacity which most people never do
outside of olympic athletes who are you
know between the ages of 18 and 34
in their heyday checking off boxes like
rest workout nutrition supplementation
and so on okay
now
any untouched body undergoing a major
major orthopedic structure altering
procedure like limb lengthening
will never be the same this means
assuming that you don't have some sort
of deformity or discrepancy fix
any incision a small incision to your
soft tissue will technically degrade
your max performance to some extent even
if it's negligible okay
let alone breaking your bones and
distracting them for time okay
but it doesn't mean that you can't do
the same things that you did before
surgery to a high enough level to
completely suffice you in fact i bet if
a you know
vast majority of lymphatic patients
trained as hard as they could post
consolidation they would probably be
more athletic than they were pre-surgery
just because of the intensified training
stimulus being greater than it was
pre-surgery even if they were their body
was only 90 to 95 percent capable
we just
fear losing what we don't even use
you'll use your height every single day
but you probably won't care about
hitting your sub 11 second hundred meter
dash
for the foreseeable future unless you're
some sort of elite track athlete
which you know this procedure shouldn't
be a consideration until you're done
competing so what are some of the
factors that dictate how much
athleticism you'll regain post luminy
surgery well the first is time assuming
that no complications exist
it takes on average two to three years
after their surgery to achieve full
recovery but then again it will vary by
how fast the patient heals rebuilds and
matures new muscle and soft tissue how
much they're able to rehab and regain
full flexibility and strengthen their
limbs how much they link them did they
do conservative or extreme amounts
as well as their biomechanics okay when
you link in any one of your limbs you
automatically change your biomechanics
why is this a big deal because it
affects your proprioception which is how
your body moves through space
after lymphatic surgery your body is
going your center of mass or your center
of gravity will be shifted thus
affecting things like your running
jumping and agility drills you can
eventually adapt to things through
proprioceptive training and it'll take
time
but
it can be awkward going through this
process now lifting weights in the gym
can also be affected by your longer
limbs okay things like squats and
deadlifts because of how it impacts your
moment arm forcing you to change your
stance wider to prevent an excessive
forward lean okay or a posterior pelvic
tilt also known as a butt wink besides
your stance altering and rebuilding
enough muscle and strength in your limbs
limiting should have less impact on your
lifting than it does on aggressive
agility or speed running and jumping
because of the fact that lifting is a
closed chain movement meaning your feet
are locked on the ground they're
touching the ground um but it can affect
that as well now another factor is
device removal if you have your
lengthening device still implanted don't
expect to be able to regain any more
than 80 to 85 of your athletic ability
okay the device causes rigidity to some
extent you know meaning that there will
be a cap to what you can do all out now
once you get the device removed rehab
and rebuild for another three to six
months retest your abilities and tell me
you're not able to achieve even further
uh i mean greater athletic feats now the
final factor that i have is nutrition
and i know it's not a very popular one
amongst limiting patients but nutrition
is so important for full recovery i mean
eating a meal from a drive-through
versus one that's fully optimized with
your ideal macro ratios
for your goals it's not even a contest i
mean you are what you eat and this is so
true after a major orthopedic procedure
like lengthening um i mean it's what i
did and it allows me to run circles
around people at the gym
oh yeah you can't run circles around me
at the gym your workout isn't even a
warm-up
anyway to summarize yes you can make a
full recovery after limiting the surgery
assuming all goes well with the surgery
you link them to safe limits you rehab
fully you achieve full flexibility um
you should be able to regain anywhere
from 90 to 98 of your peak athletic
ability and i hope you guys enjoyed the
video if you did go and hit that like
button be sure to subscribe and until
next time this is victor from cyborg for
