Height question..

[gregnb]

Ok, when I was like 15 i was already 5'10. My doctor around that time said I would be 6'2 no problem. Now that I'm 17 (18 in another month) I'm only 5'11. Anyone think there's a chance of me growing another inch? I really wanna just be 6'0 :(.

my cousin was pretty short when he was 18 and became 6"8 before he turned 22

reiner, how short was ur cousin? was he 5'4??? :help:

[freztek]

Some people keep growing up into their early twenties...I did. You don't really have a say in how tall you're gonna be.

[Reinier]

well he was under 6 foot... which is short for a male in my family

[Reinier]

short for anyone in my family actually

[Reinier]

I grew in college till about the age of 20.

i hear a lot that males still grow til as late as 25, but anyone know by how much? is it a significant increase in those late years?

[Relentless]

I was sub-six foot until i was 18... between ages 18 and 20 I went from 5'11" to 6'1".

Don't know if that is typical, but _I_ did it. ;)

6'1 is a pretty good height for me...i wouldnt mind being 6'2 or 6'3 though but honestly dont care if i grow anymore one bit.. My friend is 6'7 and wishes he was my height he looks pretty wackily proportioned.. he weighs 220 but still looks like a string bean and i weigh 160 and look a lot better body wise.

gregnb: have you lifted a lot of heavy weights since then, squats and deads????

I was 6'0 in college before I started working out.
I was afraid to start working out at a younger age because I thought it would stunt my growth. I started to work out when I was 24. I thought by then I stopped growing. I just turned 26 recently and somewhere in those 2 years I grew another 2 inches. I thought it was my posture, but that had nothing to do with it. I've always stood tall not hunched over.
The only conclusion I could draw is there might have been an added increase in my testosterone when I first began to work out, thus causing the short growth spurt.
Anyone else draw any conclusions from this?

I got to about 6'0 when I was 15..I'm 19 now and haven't grown at all since. I can't complain too much tho since my mom is 5'2 and dad 5'7.

Don't mean to get off the topic. But will HGH make you taller??

[hidethecookies]

I was 14 and 5'8.... on my 15th birthday i was 5'9....only about an inch that year.... im now just 16 and 6'3.... (btw, kinda sucks being so tall, makes look so much skinnier and less musclular)

hGH can make you taller, but it also can make your organs get way bigger... this is why bb's who use a lot have "GH gut" cuz their intestines push out. this is also why a "cosmetic miracle" such as this is still done w/ very strict restrictions. some ppl who are naturally extremely tall can have "GH gut" or enlarged heart, so correct GH use is very rare.
