Height

When did you stop growing? I'm a bit concerned about being 5'7 at 17 years old. I feel a bit short. Plus being short and very bulky isn't aesthetically pleasing to most.
 
Shit man.. I wish I was 5'7, would make it easier to look big. I'm 6'2 .. I got a shitload of work ahead of me.

It's all mental, don't worry about it man.. Ive known guys much shorter than you, just make the most of your situation, put on the muscle!
 
shit, im 17 and 6'5". i love being tall but it does make it a tad harder to bulk since i gotta force myself to eat so damn much.
 
added note... I always used to get pissed at my body... Well guess what.. this is what I was given naturally, this is what i need to work with. Lets make the best of it!
 
Males can grow till about 21, so theres hope, but my guess would be your at the height your gonna stay. 5-7 is a great heaight to add some quality mass, dont let it get you down
 
i wanna be 6'6" or 6'7" by the time im done growing, any taller would be freaky...
 
well most bodybuilders are under 6 ft easily, so i guess if u wanna be a freak, being shorter is the way to go.
but on the otherhand don't plan on being a pornstar.....:D
 
Man go out and get a pair of shoes with some huge soles. Some construction boots, or "lugz", at least that sort of style. with the big soles will add a solid inch onto you.

Well if yor seventeen, you still have some growing. Just DONT take roids. those will seal up your growth plates. Maybe try drinking alot of milk, and eggs. Apparently glutamine helps. But i dunno. Man i mean push it with the diet, you may be able to help add a few inches. If not, try getting some Real GH (if you have a few grand). You should be able to add some height with that, if your body still growing at all.

Also i know some guy in gymmastics, who put on 3 inches of height at 29 years. As soon as he quit. By taking off all of the pressure on his growth plates, spine, etc. he streched right out. and put on 3 inches in like 3 months or something riddiculos like that. So if your doing anything like that you may want to weigh its value in your life. It all depends on how important being tall is to you.

Anyway, There is shit you can do. but you just gotta give'er with that diet, and see if you cant squeeze an extra inch or two out over the next few years
 
most i ever grew was 1.5 inches in 2 months in the beginning of my sophomore year of high school. needless to say the growing pains were horrid.
 
I'm 6'8.

was 6'7 1/2 when I graduated from high school at 18. When I graduated from college I was 6'8, so somewhere over the next few years I got 1/2".
 
That's insane. A friend of mine who also plays on my soccer team is 6'6. He's like the tallest guy I could ever imagine, let alone play against. Two inches on him is substantial...
 
to answer the question; i stopped growing when i was about 15 years old. was 6'2" then (still am, obviously)

wow, 6'2" at 15 then stopped? thats a little odd. i was 5'11" when i entered high school at 13. now im 17" end of my senior year, and im 6'5", and prolly still growin a tad
 
yeah i know it sounds odd. i've always been taller than average for my age, and all of a sudden; bam, i just stopped growing. it sucks, because people who i used to dwarf height-wise are catching up to me and becoming taller than i am.
 
I was 6'2'' as a freshman in high school and I graduated at 6'3. I am now 6'3'' and 1/2 so I know how you feel SAGAT
 
i believe men can often grow as late as age 21 and maybe even a bit later.....I think women stop growing at an earlier age.
 
Dude don't sweat it. I'm 5'-7" and around 190 lbs. It is a proven fact that we will physically be stronger pound for pound than someone taller due to the leverage and cross sectional proportions of our muscles.

If you can't grow tall you can sure as hell grow wide!
 
I'm 6'5" now at 17, I don't wanna be any taller than 6'6". I was 6'0" when I entered high school, so I grew about 5 inches in three years
 
I was 5'9" when I started high school, 6'2" when I graduated I am now 6'2" unless I have just squatted heavythen I am about 5'11". Though at 295 right now I haven't had any problems filling out my frame. Though my goal is to be at 320 with ~10% bf.

You live in Holland, right? Isn't the average height there like 6'2" or something like that?
 
yeah i do. the average height here is 183 centimeters...i believe that's 6'1"? i'm not sure but it's around that mark. 6'1" or 6'2".
on average the second tallest country in the world (heard that on these boards), so you can imagine i don't particularly stand out.
 
i was 5'8 going into freshman year, i graduated at 6'2 1/2 im now around 6'3 a year later. I had thast problem where i grew to fast and stopped then ppl started catching up. but then i grew again :D
 
Is there a way to get taller using a specific diet, like someone said, a lot of milk and eggs?
Are there any other 'special' foods that can make you get taller?
 
I got to 6'2 at age 15 and stayed there until I started playing basketball and then I grew another inch and a half.

I've been 6'3 or 6'3 and a half ever since. :) I love my height but makes it hard to grow, specially my chest.

Calcium in milk helps strengthen your bones, but it doesn't make them grow.

Does suqatting affect your height that much?
 
I haven't grown since 7th grade, 20 years old and stuck at 5'5"

But maybe I'll grow some more, in the last 6-8 months my head has gotten really big and none of my hats fit anymore.
 
height

I'm 6'6 and I think I've finnally stopped growing height wise at 18. It is a lot harder to have a good phsyique at this height :). I was like 225 with high body fat earlier this year during basketball, but since then I've starting dieting and working out for college b-ball...... I'm 205 now and much stronger than I was three months ago....... hard work.
 
I graduated high school (18) at 6'2 155 lbs, when I was 21 I was 6'3.5 and 200 lbs, at 23 Im 6'8 and just shy of 300, with the most significant growth just recently, so I'd say for some you can still grow after 21 :)
 
Theoretically you can still grow till the age of 25...most will stop at 18.....
 
Don't stress it. I was freaking a year ago at 20 about being only 5'8". I was measured in January at 5'10". I'm hoping to hit 6'0" even before I stop, but I know I'm probably about done. Just do the best with what you got.
