I. Questions
about Shin Bone Million Dollar Routine
1) Where is the shin bone?
– There are 2 bones in your
lower leg. One is fibula, and the other is tibia (shin bone). These 2 bones
extend from your knee to your ankle.. Click here for
picture.
2) If I were to
start the Shin Bone Million Dollar Routine today, how do I know if my shin bone
is growing and long would it take to see noticeable results?
– Results should be
noticeable within 3 to 4 weeks. You will
gain 0.5 cm to 1 cm during the threshold phase.
You immediately FEEL that your legs are unbelievably stretched and
lengthened than ever especially after sitting with ankle weights,. It is definitely a
great feeling!
I would encourage you to join my Before/After Recruiting Campaign because you
can keep track of your growth progress with before & after pictures and
even talk by phone with me & my partners.. and we’ll give you some quick tips to start the shin bone
routine.
3) Will I gain permanent height from your Shin
Bone Routine?
– Yes, but let me
explain. For instance, if you’re keeping
up with the routine for 6 months and have gained about 2.76 inches (7 cm). Subsequently, you seem satisfied and decide
that it is enough, and so you stop the routine.
As a result from discontinuing the routine, u may lose somewhere from 0.5 cm to 1
cm in height. So, that will
probably leave you with 2.55 inch (6.5 cm) in permanent height.
The good news is
that most
of what u gained is permanent because ur bones have already remodeled due to great
factors such as taking supplements, sitting, kicking, sleeping with ankle
weights.
Again, the bad news is that u may lose less than 1 cm (which is not a big deal)
because sitting, kicking, and sleeping with ankle weights not only stretch ur bones.. but these
same exercises also stretch ur joints, ligaments, and cartilage from your
lower legs. Thus, once u discontinue
your routine, your “new” & soft cartilage (about to transform into solid
bone) will not stay in shape and will soon deteriorate quickly because a
vigorous force is no longer exerted.
It is true that exerting a great force on bones will remodel bones and give u
permanent height. Whereas, stretching
joints, ligaments, and cartilage will give u temporary height because they will
decompress or shrink a little bit and that is how u may lose less than 1 cm.
Once again, if you have gained a desired height and decide to stop from doing
the shin bone routine, it is important that u continue to take vitamins and
supplements everyday for at least 4 more weeks so that you will continue to
nourish the new and soft cartilages & collagen fibers which may in turn calcify,
deposit, and later transform into bones or between bones (to give u permanent
height).
4)
Will I gain proportional height from your Shin Bone Routine?
– Yes. Kicking or biking with ankle weights can be
tough to maintain perfect and proportional legs because each leg may exert a
different force at a different speed and time.
Thus, it is extremely important to sit with HEAVY ankle weights to make
sure that ur legs are stretched proportionally according
to the constant & humongous pulling tension of the ankle weights &
gravity.
5) How should I
sit with ankle weights in the first 3 to 4 weeks?
– For best results, you should CONSISTENTLY sit with ankle weights everday in the first 3 to 4 weeks. Why?
because you want to exert enormous stress on your lower legs so to
stimulate weak electrical currents. In
return, these currents will give rise to the threshold phase. Thus, acceleration phase will then be
activated and you will continue to gain more centimeters. Acceleration phase begins to activate once
you have gained 1 cm in growth. Then,
you may sit with ankle weights 2 to 3 hours everyday (if you’re busy with
school & work) or continue to sit 3 to 4 hours if you have the time. In short, the more you sit with ankle
weights, the faster you’ll grow.
6) How should I kick or bike with ankle weights
in the first 3 to 4 weeks?
– Just follow the guidelines
in the Shin Bone Million Dollar Routine and do 30 to 40 minutes of kicking
(weekdays) and 1 hour (weekends) and you will be fine. The reason that you should NOT do more
kicking or biking because such vigorous & forceful actions may cause a taxation on your knee, kneecap, shin bone, and ankle. As a result, you want to go slow and protect
your lower legs from any pain.
7) Why
sleeping with ankle weights is an option in your routine?
– Although sleeping with
ankle weights is an option in my routine, I recommend that u should give it a
shot.. sleeping with ankle weights may contribute a 15% extra boost to your
shin bone growth.. it may be difficult to sleep with ankle weights the first
week… but u may get used to it. If u
sleep with ankle weights for over a week and find it very uncomfortable as you are
losing sleep, then stop doing it immediately.
Just concentrate 110% on sitting with ankle weights.
8) What is the
secret to kick, bike, sit, lie, and sleep with ankle weights safely and
comfortably while doing your shin bone routine?
– The secret is to strap lots of foam
around your shin bone. for example, strap 2
layers of foam around your shin bone, then strap on the ankle weights. Back-support strap or soft-cotton pillows may
help to protect your shin bone; however, foam works the best because it is so
soft and amazing!
9) Is there a
limit to what I can grow from the Shin Bone Million Dollar Routine?
– Unfortunately, I think
there is a limit and that you can grow up to 7.62 cm (3 inches). Degeneration phase could begin to take place
and you might grow more; however, the process may be slower or decline
completely. The reason that I draw to
this conclusion is because I have read lots of success stories and have never
heard about anyone (credible) who has grown more than 3 inches in the shin
bone.
In addition, I think
it is NOT a good idea to sit with heavy ankle weights for more than 8 months
because you may begin to take a toll on your knee & kneecap. Thus, it is extremely important that you should
wear knee-support strap at all times while sitting with ankle weights so that
the strap will bear some weights for your knee.
But don’t worry, 4 to 5 months from now, my Backbone & Thigh Bone
Million Dollar Routine will be available to everyone..
So, you can stick with the shin bone routine to grow more..
or shift gear and try another routine to grow the
spine or thigh bone.
10) I’m a
little shocked. I've tried your shin
bone routine for over a month, but have not seen 1 cm or even 0.5 cm in growth..
what's wrong now?
- There are
a few reasons that go with it. First,
you probably did not sit at least 2 hours everyday with ankle weights. Second, you did not use enough weights while
sitting (refer to the table to find out how much weights to strap while
sitting). Third, you did not take
vitamins and supplements everyday.
11) Sky, I have a dilemma. First, I have an operation on my legs in the
past because of an accident. Second, my
legs are not strong like before. Third, I
have bowed legs and I have a hard time kicking and biking. As a result, my knee, ankle, and shin bone
hurt like crazy when I kick or bike. Finally,
I really like your routine but I really hate doing any exercise that requires
forceful movements such as kicking or biking with ankle weights. Can I just sit with ankle weights?
– Kicking and biking exercises are
needed, but not required. People
who have accidents in the past may agree that kicking or biking may irritate
and cause pain in the knee, shin bone, and ankle. Therefore, if you do not want to do any
kicking or biking, then you may choose to increase the duration sitting with
ankle weights. Try to sit with ankle
weights 2 to 4 hours everyday and use lots of weights. For example, do not sit with ankle weights 4
hours straight, but divide it in 1 hour 30 min to 2 hours at a time.
Additionally, there are other things that you can do or avoid. First, you should take vitamins &
supplements everyday to speed up the growth process. Second, you don’t have to sleep with ankle
weights if you feel uncomfortable doing so.
Third, just focus 110% on sitting with ankle weights and you will be
fine.
So, how much height will you gain from sitting with ankle weights alone? If you increase the duration sitting with
ankle weights (2 to 4 hours a day), you should gain 1 cm to 1.5 cm every month
during the Acceleration Phase.
12) If I were to start your routine,
what are some things that I should avoid during the 6-month training?
– a) If u do smoke, then smoke less.. don't
abuse yourself with 2 packs of cigarettes everyday or 6-pack of beers every
weekend..
b) Cut down on junk foods, alcohol,
soft drinks, caffeine and white flour. All of these lead to an excessive loss
of calcium from your body and a decreased rate of absorption.
c) Put away all the mirrors in ur room. The best way to notice a great increase in ur shin bone growth is to ignore it.. don't
measure urself every 2 weeks.. but do measure every
month. Also, don't look at your ur legs when wearing a short or while taking a
shower. Lastly, wear a long pants or
jeans as often as you can when doing daily activities because you don’t want to
look at your shin bone all the time.
It’s a psychological thing. The
more you ignore it, the more noticeable growth you will observe later.
d) Distraction is ur # 1 enemy.. disconnect ur contact with the outside world.. lie to ur friends & family that ur busy studying when in fact doing ur routine.. be selfish & refuse to help or
do favors for anyone.. keep in mind that as long ur a short person, things will never go your
way and you will never live that luxurious life of being taller. Always remember, ur shin bone routine is the # 1 priority and u
must complete it by the end of the day.
13)
How kicking & biking with ankle weights work?
– Kicking or biking with ankle weights can be
seen as repetitive dynamic (relating to motion) loads that are exerted on bone
to trigger remodeling. Kicking works
because it will stimulate weak electrical currents that stimulate
osteoblasts. As a result, osteoblasts
create new bones. Kicking alone may work by itself, but it’s a
slower process. The growth is faster
when u do both kicking and sitting with ankle weights.
Unfortunately,
people who do kicking too much (years and years) in the past such as soccer
players, may grow slower than the average person. It’s due to the fact that their shin bone is
too hard and stiff from kicking too much and the shin bone remodeling process
is slower. Thus, degeneration phase
triggers earlier than normal.
14) How to divide
the kicking routine?
- It is not
a good idea to continuously kick with ankle weights for 1 hour and 30 minutes
because your knee might get irritated a little bit. For effectiveness, try not to kick less than
15 minutes. For safety, try not to kick
more than 40 minutes straight. It is
best to divide the kicking routine. For
example, kick 2 to 3 times a day; such as kick for 20 minutes in morning, and
kick for 20 minutes in evening, etc.
15) What are the side effects of kicking or
biking?
- if you kick with ankle weights for 1 hour straight without using knee-support
strap or foam, your knee & kneecap may irritate a little bit because they
could not handle such forceful push against air & gravity.
Also, if you kick without strapping cushioned foam around your shin bone, you
may feel pain in the shin bone because the ankle weights plus gravity will
start to cause ENORMOUS friction against your shinbone. If it hurts, stop the routine completely.
In short, if you feel a slight pain on your knee or shin bone, discontinue the
exercise immediately.
16)
I’ve been kicking, sitting, and sleeping with ankle weights for 3 weeks
already.. and my shin bone, knee, and ankle begin to
hurt a little bit.. I’m a chicken! I
don’t want to gain a few inches in exchange for any unfortunate injury.. what must I do?
- No pain, no gain. My Shin Bone Million
Dollar Routine is the quickest and easiest method to grow taller. Just endure a month or two, and who knows,
you may be up to 3 cm increased in height already. It’s very rewarding!
You feel pain in your shin bone & ankle because you do NOT wear enough
safety pads. Foam is your only solution to any
slight numbness in your legs.
The ankle weights will cause friction against your bones and this
hurts. As a result, you must use lots of
foam to thicken the layers of protective pads around your shin bone and ankle. Use 2 to 3 layers of foam around your shin
bone & ankle if possible. If you do
it correctly, you should NEVER feel any pain.
Also, your knee may hurt because the heavy ankle weights are tearing your
knee-cap away from your thigh bone and this will cause the deterioration of the
cartilage between your knee. You must wear knee-support strap to bear some
weights and to reduce stress from your knee.
Thus, it is so important that you must lie down, rest your knees on the
bed, and only let the shin bone dangle. This
is the ideal method. If you lean forward
to sit for too long, you are exerting enormous weights on your knee and this is
not safe. Click
here for picture!
17)
Kicking or biking… which method proves better result?
– Kicking
is more effective than biking.
When kicking, the ankle weights and the earth’s gravitational pull are
exerting a great downward force pulling your legs.
On other hand, biking is not as effective because the pedals of the bicycle are
bearing some of the weights for your legs & ankle weights. Thus, if you feel that your biking exercise
is not as vigorous as kicking, then you may choose to increase the duration of
biking to make it up (for example, from 20 minutes - and increase it to 30
minutes everyday).
Juan & I believe that kicking is a vigorous
exercise as it will cause a taxation on the knee &
ankle. As a result, it is wise to use
lots of foam when kicking or biking to protect from red marks, blisters, and
injury.
18) When should
I eat?
- Never eat before doing ur kicking or biking routine..
always eat after doing these vigorous exercises so u won't damage ur digestive system.. the best
time to eat is
to
do so immediately after the kicks… or to eat while u sitting with ankle
weights..
.. don’t forget to take ur supplements with a large
glass of water while eating..
19) I’m afraid to start your routine and feel nervous that my knee or
shin bone may hurt.. what should I do?
– You can sit in front of
your computer and read this valuable information all year long and still won’t
see any growth. There is nothing to be
afraid of since I already mention all the safety gears such as foam, cotton
pillows, back-support strap, knee-support strap, etc. Keep in mind that this website is especially
dedicated to serious & daring individuals who wish to add some inches to
their height. Sadly, I despise any coward
out there who is afraid to take control of their life.
20) Is there a trick to activate the
threshold phase from your shin bone routine?
– There is no trick or secret. There is
no shortcut either. There are vitamins
& supplements BUT they are not *magic* pills. The quickest and easiest way to trigger the
threshold phase is to exercise with weights vigorously EVERDAY.
21)
I forgot to do the routine yesterday.. what
should I do?
– Exams are coming up.. and ur busy on Monday and forgot to do the routine
(2 to 3 hrs sitting with weights & 30 minute kicking with weights) on
Monday.. thus, on Tuesday, u should make it up by increasing the effort in ur routine (3 to 4 hrs sitting with weights
& 1 hour kicking with weights).. don’t miss a day
without doing ur routine.. In short, sit with ankle weights
for 1 hour is better than not sitting at all!
22)
How should I divide the time to sit with ankle weights?
- If you have time to sit 4 to 5 hours a day, then do it. The more you sit, the faster you will grow. As long you wear enough protective foam or
safety pads, you should be fine.
However, try not to sit with ankle weights less than 1 hour and 30
minutes because it takes some time for electrical currents to stimulate your
shin bone.
Also, try not to sit with ankle weights more than 2 hours and 30 minutes
because u may interfere your blood circulation, cause muscle cramps, red marks,
blisters, etc. Thus, for example, it is
best to divide your routine sitting with ankle weights such as 2 hours in
morning, and 2 hours at night. In short,
just be creative!
23)
I’ve been biking, kicking, and sitting with ankle weights for the last
month. But instead seeing any growth,
kicking has increased my thigh’s muscle mass, which does not look good. Please help me & tell some measures to
avoid this increase in size & what should i do to
prevent it.
- I wouldn't worry about increasing your thigh muscle mass.. as long as ur legs are growing, that's all it
MATTERS! You have your entire life to go
on diet & lose weight to get back those slim (sexy) thighs. Just focus on
growing them legs, and who cares if ur legs look fat.. no pain, no gain! You must make SACRIFICE.
24) Should I sit with ankle weights everyday? every
other day? have a rest day or two during the week?
-
NEVER skip a day.. do whatever i suggested consistently
EVERYDAY for 1 month and you will see noticeable result.
25) How can you be sure that a combination
of calcium, vitamin d, glucosamine, and chondroitin are best for bone growth? (new)
- The reason i'm so centered about taking
calcium, vitamin d, glucosamine, and chondroitin together is because, these are almost the exact
same supplements that many limb lengthening patients (who have surgery) are
taking.. of course, those big-head surgeons &
therapists must be right! Glucosamine has grown
unbelievably popular for years. Plus, a group of people at Harvard
University already experimented
about glucosamine.. you can visit my height "How to take supplements"
to read the article about those Harvard people.
26)
I wonder how bone remodeling helps the shin bone to lengthen?
(new)
- Bone remodeling works like this: increase the load on a bone and osteoclasts are created which break it down in response to the load. Remove the load and osteoblasts are created which create new bony cells. Repeat the process through repetitive motion and eventually the bone density increases.
27)
I look the pictures but i
could not understand how to sit with ankle weights.. Is
ur foot on the
floor or not? If your feet in the air or
not? (new)
- While sitting with ankle weights, yes, your legs & feet are in the air
and they do not touch the floor.
28)
1 tablet: 500 mg Calcium / 125 IU Vitamin D ,
is this mixed in a tablet ? Is glucosamine and chondroitin in 1
tablet also? (new)
- It’s best to buy calcium & vitamin d in 1 tablet so that vitamin d can
help to absorb calcium. Also, buy glucosamine & chondroitin in
1 tablet so that they can produce good results simultaneously.
29) I don’t have too much money.. and cannot afford to buy all the
ankle weights, vitamins, supplements, knee-support strap, iron plates.. what should I do?
- Call
it one
of the smartest investments that you will ever make in your entire
life. You may spend less than $100 to
get the ankle weights & safety gears that you need; also spend another $35
a month to get all the vitamins supplements.
Money is nothing. It’s only dust and air
when compared to your height & hundreds of mysterious possibilities such as
having tons of new girl/boyfriends, job offers, etc. You will take back what’s taken if only you
could grow taller in the next few months.. your life will be completely re-new. You will hang out with tall, smart, and
beautiful people that you have never dreamt to associate with.
30) I’m 5 foot 5..
and I’m sitting with 25 lb ankle weight on each leg.. is it okay?
- Since
you’re 5 foot 5, you should sit with 30 lb ankle weight on each leg for 2 to 3
hours almost everyday.. if you cannot handle such heavy
weights, then you may use 20 lb on each leg but you must increase the duration
and sit with ankle weights 4 to 5 hours everyday to make up for the less
weights. As you can see, the
heavier the ankle weights, the shorter the duration that you sit, and the
quicker you will grow.
31) How are the tiny gaps & microfractures in the shin bone stimulated? Is it necessary to sit with ankle weights immediately
after doing the kicking exercise?
- Yes,
it is highly recommended to immediately sit with ankle weights after doing the
kicking exercise. Kicking
with ankle weights excites weak electrical currents, tiny gaps, and microfractures that trigger osteoblasts. As a result, osteoblasts then stimulate new
bone formation. Thus, by sitting with
ankle weights after doing kicks, you continuously exert compressive stress on
bones to shape & heal the gaps & microfractures
so to thicken cartilage,
collagen fibers, and bone matrix.
32) How does forceful movement such as kicking or
biking with ankle weights help the bone remodeling process? (new)
– Kicking or
biking with ankle weights is a forceful movement that triggers tiny electric
fields in which genes that affect bone remodeling and growth are then
activated. That's when a
series of experiments showed that bone is piezoelectric,
meaning that bending or deforming its crystal structure creates local electric
currents. Physiologists quickly linked
these currents to bone growth in studies that seemed to explain why exercise
strengthens bones and immobilization weakens them. Below is a research study that explains forceful exercises or vibrations will generate bone growth.

Gentle Vibration Improves Bone Growth – Gentle Vibration Prevents Bone Loss
Mechanical Stimulation Might Treat Osteoporosis Without Drugs
WebMD Medical News
Aug. 8, 2001
-- A new study is giving out good vibrations.
The study, in this week's Nature, suggests that gentle vibration can improve
bone growth. If the findings hold up in humans, they suggest a new way to
prevent osteoporosis, or bone loss often seen in menopause, without drugs.
"Exercise may prevent osteoporosis, but we always thought it had to be
short bursts of intense activity," researcher Clinton Rubin, PhD, tells
WebMD. "Our work now shows that even very low levels of mechanical
stimulation promote bone growth."
Without the force of gravity pulling on the skeleton, astronauts lose bone at
the rate of 0.2% per month, Rubin explains. Conversely, a professional tennis
player may have 30% more bone on his playing arm.
"The skeleton is a smart material accommodating the demands placed on
it," says Rubin, a professor and chair of biomedical engineering and director
of the Center for Biotechnology at SUNY Stony Brook. "Unfortunately, most
of us tend to sit around too much, so bones get weaker."
In his
study, adult female sheep treated with gentle vibration to their hind legs for
20 minutes daily had 30% more bone in their legs than did untreated animals
after one year.
"This
is very exciting, as it suggests ways to treat bone loss without drugs,"
says Robert Marcus, MD, a professor of medicine at Stanford
University who reviewed the study
for WebMD…”

Disclaimer: All the explanations, numbers, and statistics in this "Frequently Asked Questions" section have NOT been tested or proven within a large group of people. Thus, they are not 100% correct because I do
not have sufficient proof or evidence to support it. However, based on the results from a few experimenters
in our team who are having success with it, I believe that these numbers are
reasonable & fair at some level. For
example, Juan, one of the experimenters, has gained 1 full inch (2.54 cm) in
less than 3 months. Also, other
Before/After Recruiting members are seeing a steady 1 cm increase every month
from doing the Shin bone Million Dollar routine. Furthermore, I hope to have more proof and
before/after pictures coming this Fall 2004.
Additionally, all of my explanations on this entire webpage may not be all
true; however, I am sharing my thoughts and experiences based from the
experiments that my team & I have tested, failed, and finally succeeded
from growing taller. Anyhow, at least I
daringly try to sketch a picture with numbers, theories, and explanations so
that people can envision and perhaps see a brighter light down the tunnel.
