16 y/o soon 17, 165cm Is 185cm+ still possible? What can I realistically do?

[Kingbazoon]

I’m a 16-year-old male soon 17, currently around 5’5 (≈165 cm) and ~51 kg.
My bone age is about 1.5 years younger than my chronological age.


Family stats:

• Mom: 5’3–5’4 (160–162 cm)
• Dad: 6’0 (182 cm)
  Neither of my parents were late bloomers.

I’ve always been on the shorter side.


Current routine:

• Plyometrics / jumping exercises
• Stretching
• Supplements: magnesium, vitamin D3 + K2, zinc
• Good sleep and diet
  (I know subliminals are controversial, but I use them anyway.)

My dream height is 185 cm or taller.


Given that my bone age is delayed:

• How much growth could I realistically still have left?
• Is a late growth spurt possible even if my parents weren’t late bloomers?
• What would be the absolute max height range in my case?
• Anything else I can do to maximize growth (sleep timing, calorie intake, posture, medical checks, endocrinology)?

you might grow a few inches but nonetheless not over 5'8

 

[dabigCP]

Yeah ngl youre fried, youre not making it past 5'8

 

[CertifiedGoy]

Because your 5,5 now and nearly at the end of puberty

Couldnt I somehow be a late bloomer?

If you're lucky you'll get 2 inches, keep a good diet and get 8+ hours sleep. Im only 5'7 at 17. Imo, if you've got good face your height doesn't matter that much unless you're like >5'4 so dw abt it, get a girl 5'6+ and save ur genes

growing 8 inches after 16 is impossible in your case, keep your expectations low

the doc said I could potentially grow in the range of 5,7 - 6 foot flat she said she couldnt really predict it and it isnt impossible dennis rodmann grew like 8 inches after 18

don’t expect a genetic miracle to happen to you, especially since your parents aren’t that tall to start with

Unfortunately 185cm is going to be really hard. I’d give it a 5% chance it happens

So you are about 15.5 in bone age. There are two routs that you can take :1)Natural (will end up prob. 173cm), 2) Pharmacology (maybe +2-5). The decision is yours whether you are willing to play with your hormones etc(gh+ai) or just wait and see what happens. Before any desicion do your research . Best of luck!

I checked again my bone age is 17

That means that your growth plates are almost closed. Usually 1-2 cm naturally.
