|The Spartan candidate undergoes treatment to induce growth in skeletal and muscular tissues. Edward Buck commented that his bones were "lengthened" and his muscles "stretched". The bones are then reinforced with skeletal fullerene lattices,{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate1}} regarded as "tougher than steel", which makes them virtually unbreakable and allows survival in harder impacts.{{Ref/Reuse|HI2}} The joints are also reinforced or replaced. The reinforcement is necessary as without it, simple actions such as jumping would result in the bones disintegrating due to the strain from the strengthened muscles.<ref name="NB14">'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 14</ref> The subject's ligaments are reconstructed during the procedures.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate1}}
|The Spartan candidate's bones are lengthened by a small amount before being reinforced with skeletal fullerene lattices, it is currently unknown whether this lengthening is achieved surgically or chemically, however Edward Buck commented that his bones were "lengthened" and his muscles "stretched". He gained approximately 3 inches of height from the procedure.
 
the Candidate's muscles are then reattached and woven with synthetic Poly-Muscle fibers similar to what is used in GEN2 MJOLNIR. they are then subjected to induced growth and muscle grafting which increases the size and density of the muscules. The The joints are also reinforced or replaced. The reinforcement is necessary as without it, simple actions such as jumping would result in the bones disintegrating due to the strain from the strengthened muscles.<ref name="NB14">'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 14</ref> The subject's ligaments are reconstructed during the procedures.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate1}}
 
The augmentations also give them an enhanced muscle memory, which makes observing and learning combat techniques much easier.<ref>'''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual''', ''page 40''</ref>


Muscles are subjected to induced growth and injected with a material that allows them to work harder without breaking the Spartan's skeleton. Subjects also undergo muscle grafting.{{Ref/Reuse|HI2}}{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate1}} The augmentations also give them an enhanced muscle memory, which makes observing and learning combat techniques much easier.<ref>'''Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual''', ''page 40''</ref>
