This is an introduction to LSJL (Lateral Synovial Joint Loading)and a guide tounderstanding how to perform it. The science behind it isn't discussed here atlength. If you want to learn more about the science please visit inigolfer's blog.
How it works
Lateral loading of the ends of long bones promotes cellular activity in the growthplate that in e!ect induces thic"ening and lengthening of the bone over time.#y laterally loading your epiphysis (ends of your bones) you force the red bonemarrow present there towards the center of your bones where the hyaline cartilagegrowth plate is$ which leads to chondrocyte di!erentiation. Simply put$ it will causegrowth in your growth plate.
Methods of loading
Loading can be done either with a table clamp or with a dumbbell (or any other typeof weight). %ith the dumbbell you can also tap the &oint.It doesn't really matter which method you use$ although it has been suggested thatthe clamp is better for vertical growth. lamps might be more time ecient sincethey apply pressure to both sides of the epiphysis at once. nother advantage ofthe clamp is that it allows you to ad&ust the pressure*load more easily$ withoutneeding to change the weight plates or use a di!erent dumbbell.lamps might be more dicult to put into place$ however. lso$ it is impossible toclamp the hip. %hen loading the bones always ensure that the screw part of the c+clamp is on the ,-TSI/ of the leg$ meaning on your little toe0s side. The 1at part of the clamp must always be on the inner part of the bone (your big toe0s side). %ehave found this orientation to be the most comfortable and e!ective positioning ofthe clamp.


How it's done
The most dicult aspect of LSJL for most will be identifying with certainty the areaswhere the loading force needs to be focused. If you search the forum you will 2ndthat the vast ma&ority of topics concern this aspect of the routine. It is very easy toassume you are loading the tibia0s epiphysis when in fact you may be loading thefemur0s epiphysis.3ere are some illustrations from ini4olfer's blog5http5**the6uestforheight.blogspot.com*p*e7perimental+synovial+&oint+loading.htmlhttp5**the6uestforheight.blogspot.com*89:9*:8*ls&l+illustrated+introdution+to+height.htmlhttp5**the6uestforheight.blogspot.com*89:9*::*lateral+synovial+&oint+loading;:<.htmlhttp5**the6uestforheight.blogspot.com*89:9*::*lateral+synovial+&oint+loading.htmlLSJL can be performed on any &oint$ although to grow in vertical height the legs arethe most (only) relevant bones. The relevant &oints are therefore your an"les$ "neesand hips.Loading the an"le is pretty straight forward. Loading the "nee however re6uires thatyou load both the upper tibia and the lower femur. In layman's terms$ this meansthe ends of the bones of both your lower leg and your upper leg. =or startersthough$ it is possible to load both at the same time since they connect. The hip onlyhas one leg bone to load$ although it is harder to access due to muscle and fatcovering it.


The following diagrams and basic anatomy information will hopefullyguide you to correct loading positions
The ma&or s"eletal components of the human leg are the femur$ tibia$ and 2bula. These are all long bones in the body$ meaning they are the bones which contributemost to the height of any particular human being. Long bones are also the onlybones which utili>e the mechanism of elongation that LSJL attempts to e7ploit. Ifyou wish to learn more about this mechanism$ search for ?endochondralossi2cation@ on the internet.Loading and clamping spots are on the red dots5t the ends of every long bone there e7ists a rounded portion of the bone called theepiphysis. uring normal bone development throughout childhood$ adolescence andending with puberty$ there e7ists an epiphyseal plate at the end of the epiphyses. This plate is the area where endochondral ossi2cation occurs and is ultimately thesource of natural bone elongation. %hen this plate becomes inactive in adulthood itis referred to as the ?epiphyseal line@. 3owever$ we believe LSJL can be used to


promote further growth in this otherwise inactive area of the long bones.In between the two epiphyses of a long bone e7ists the diaphysis. The diaphysis iswhere bone cells developed in the epiphyseal plate are ultimately stored$ and thisportion of the bone contributes most of the length of the bone. 3owever$ this IS A,Tthe portion of the bone we want to load. Loading must be focused on the epiphysesof the bones.
!emur "piphyses
Loading the upper epiphysis of the femur is virtually impossible since it locatedwithin the hip area. So we must be content with loading only the lower epiphysis ofthe femur. Through e7perimentation we have found the easiest way to locate thelower epiphysis of the femur is to pinpoint its location in relation to the "nee cap.



The "nee cap is a special bone in the human body in that it is sesamoid bone$meaning it is a bone embedded within a tendon. The area around the "nee &oint is acomple7 area containing the epiphysis of the femur as well as the tibia$ and manytendons and ligaments as well. This is why it is especially important when loading tobe responsive to any pain e7periencedB if you e7perience any pain then you aremost li"ely pinching a tendon and should immediately release pressure and tryagain. To identify the femur0s epiphysis simply pinch your "nee cap with the thumb andinde7 2nger. Cinching and identifying your "nee cap should be relatively easy. =romthe diagram shown below you can see the "nee cap rests directly upon theepiphysis of the femur$ so to identify the correct femur loading position$ simply slideyour thumb and inde7 2nger o! of the "nee cap$ and now with your thumb andmiddle 2nger (since it0s a bit of a stretch with your inde7) you should feel a boneprotruding from each side of your grip. This is the femur loading position.


Tibia "piphyses
:. The Dnee The tibia0s upper epiphysis is J-ST below the "nee cap. The easiest way to 2nd itsepiphysis is to cusp the shin from behind with your hand and slowly "ic" your lowerleg (shin) up and down. %ith your other hand feel for the protrusions on each side of the leg that are moving with the motion of the "ic". If the bone feels li"e it is notmoving then it is most li"ely the femur. %e must stress that it is a 2ne line betweenthe two bones ends$ but with practice you should be able to become pro2cient inidentifying which is which.


8. The n"le=or the an"le the most important area to focus pressure is on the inner an"le (onyour big toe0s side). This is the epiphysis of the tibia$ while the outer an"le boneprotrusion is the epiphysis of the smaller 2bula. The 2bula does not contribute asmuch to overall height as the tibia does and thus we want most of the pressurefocused on the inner an"le.%hen loading the an"le$ it is sometimes painful with direct metal to bone contact ifyou are using a c+clamp. Through e7perimentation we have found the most e!ectiveloading position is one where the clamp is slightly staggered so that the screw is notdirectly on the outer an"le but &ust in front of it. Some users have also opted toutili>e a barrier such as a paper notepad or eraser to further reduce pain on theouter an"le.


#outines
Eou should load once a day at most. s a beginner you should stic" to either a F+on+8+o! routine or a G+on+H+o! routine$ and alternate by starting one day on your leftleg and one day on your right leg (or vice versa). It should be sucient to load youran"les and "nees (as one &oint) when initially starting. Deep this routine until yourgains slow down. If no gains are seen within : month$ consider moving to the ne7tlevel (femur and tibia loading).Start o! with H9 seconds of load per &oint.
#est$ alternation and loading
=ollowing the e7act same routine for a prolonged period won't help. It will probablygive gains at 2rst but as your body adapts gains will slow down. In bodybuildingterms$ this is a plateau. To bust this plateau$ as in bodybuilding$ mi7ing it up is6uintessential. This means reconditioning$ increasing the load and alternating legs.,ne e7planation to smaller gains is that the bones lose mechano+sensitivity.echano+sensitivity is regained to K after 8G hours. To regain it fully$ GK+M8 hoursmay be necessary.

The 2rst leg willhave a bene2t being the so called fresh load. The second leg will have adisadvantage since the cytos"eleton has already been a!ected by the previousload. Later on$ it might be important to alternate the speci2c areas (epiphysis'). Inother words$ this goes to say you should also alternate between loading the an"le2rst and the "nee. This isn't necessary for the 2rst month or two$ though.Increasing the load (how tight you screw the clamp or the weight of your dumbbell)and the duration of the load is also important.

TLDR
LSJL (Lateral Synovial Joint Loading) is an experimental technique claiming that applying sideways pressure to the ends of long bones can stimulate growth/lengthening.
It focuses on the epiphyses (ends of bones), especially around the ankles and knees; the femur and tibia are the main bones relevant to height.
The guide suggests using a C-clamp or dumbbell to apply pressure.
It recommends starting with ~30 seconds per joint once daily, gradually increasing duration and load.
It recommends alternating legs and taking rest days to avoid adaptation/plateaus.
Pain is supposed to be avoided completely; excessive force could cause injury.
The authors explicitly acknowledge that LSJL is experimental, poorly studied, and not medically established, and say people perform it at their own risk.
Most important: the text describes a hypothesis, not a proven way to increase adult height. The claim that pressure can reactivate closed growth plates and make adult long bones longer has not been established as a safe, effective human treatment
