Basically what the title says, I'm 16 and 5'7 (around 170cm) and I think I'm cooked for height.

Growing up, I was always like an inch below my peers so I never took height that seriously but now that I just turned 16, I think it's over.

My dad is 5'10 (177cm) and my mom is 5'0 (152cm) so I used a formula I found online :177+152+13(for males) divided by 2 and that basically maxed out my height at 170cm.

Previously, I was coping by thinking I didn't have a growth spurt yet, but when I was 13 I was around 5'5 and now I just turned 16 and I'm 5'7 but I googled it and that's pretty much a natural growth spurt apparently.

Is there anything I can do to height Maxx or is it already over?


I can't really tell if my growth plates are open or not but I'm generally pessimistic as my genes and nutritional up bringing wasn't great.

Thoughts?

If your plates are still open you could likely get the lowest of half cm / highest 2 cm, if closing more likely no growth or 1 cm max. Best to get bone scans to know for sure if you are that interested. Beyond bone plate closure, only Limb Lengthening surgery exists to progress any further.

similar situation bro, i'm 5'7 my dad and mom are 5'9 and 5'4, i was 5'5 at 14 and 5'7 by 15, after that i barely noticed any growth, im almost 17 now, and i probably only grew 0.3-0.5 inches since 16

fuck dude fair enough, I get it tbh. I feel like 179 is enough but growing up around tall people it’s probably mid for you. If I was that height I wouldn’t give a shit, but if you want it get it.

Also I always felt like LL fucks up your whole legs no? is it really worth it? can you walk, run, swim, bike, drive etc normally after?

of course you can with proper pt and everything you will fully recover if you go to the right surgeon

I been researching th surgery for a while this guy @Cyborg4life on YouTube makes very educational videos on the topic literally covers everything about the surgery you need to know

the truth is I feel like 179cm is tall although retards in this forum act like its over if you are under 6'2 I at 5'10 feel above average very much I feel like i am taller than like 4 out of 5 men I walk by

but my family pisses me off so much every time I go to gathering and shit I get looked down on I have cousins who are 14 taller than me and it sucks.

hmmm makes sense. I mean I doubt it’s EXACTLY the same as it was before but it’s probably okay with the stuff I read about it.

Also exactly the niggas who say if you’re under 6’2/6’0 it’s over are retarded jfl, it’s not even shortcel cope it’s facts, I feel like as long as you’re at the very least 5’9 its okay. but 5’10 is a lot nicer than 5’9.✌️

yeah exaclty, I feel like the taller you are the easier it is to fraud height/claim a different height, like if I said I was 5’9/5’10 no nigga will believe me😭:feelswhy:

but honestly I also feel like once I’ll grow up, the LL shit will be so advanced I’ll probably get that shit:forcedsmile:If I got 6cm I would be happy jfl:ROFLMAO:

also how old are you? maybe you’re a late bloomer, it’s rare but perhaps theres a chance

PREACH, dw I did check it, like I said in my post on my profile I recently noticed a growth spurt.

most of my posts are for hgh, it’s the main reason I’m here tbf:forcedsmile:

also the way I’m looking at it, LL doesn’t even look that bad, seems worth it honestly. theres this guy (I’ll attach a photo) who’s proportions honestly look good, like I always though LL will make your proportions FUCKED UP, but it seems that if you get the right amount of cm growth (in tune with your torso ofc) it will look good

also I FUCKING HATE WHORES LIKE THIS (I’ll also attach an image) WHO SAY “WOWOW MEN ARE REALLY BREAKING THEIR LEGS FOR HEIGHT WOW WHAT A LOSER:feelsuhh::feelsuhh:JUST GET THERAPY:feelsuhh::feelsuhh:”
AND SHE GOT MEDICAL PROCEDURES AS WELL FUCK DUDE SHES RETARDEDDDDD

LIKE YEAH STUPID BITCH! THAT WILL SURELY HELP! ALL THE YEARS OF TORMENT, BULLYING, GETTING HEIGHTMOGGED, MADE FUN OF BY WHORES LIKE YOU ONLINE WILL JUST GET ERAED WITH THERAPY. IF YOUR FUGLY SUB 3 HYPERGAMOUS LITTLE SHIT CAN GET A BBL, I CAN ALSO GET LL. GOD these WHORES MAKE ME ANGRY:feelstastyman:

You could possibly get a late growth spurt but like extreme unlikely you will grow 2-3cm max. Or just blast HGH up to 18IUs

i feel like proportions also plays a major role rather than numbers itself,

if you have a wide frame, ectomorph body shape, 5'10, you will look taller and more dominant than a slouching, skinny 6'0
