goal height is 6'2", and I'm currently 6'1". My dad is 6'2", my mom is 5'7", and both of my brothers are 6'3". My dad also told me he didn't stop growing until his mid-20s, so I'm wondering if I might have a similar late growth pattern and still have a chance at that extra inch.
What concerns me is that I may have limited my growth during a crucial window. From around age 15 to early 17, l was severely under-eating - about 1200 calories a day — and became extremely skinny, to the point where it was borderline dangerous. I've since bounced back and eat much more consistently now.
I was recently prescribed TRT due to low testosterone - around 320 ng/dL, which is low for my age obviously. My doctor believes it was likely caused by those past eating habits. Right now, I'm on 200 mg of Testosterone Cypionate every 10 days. I know TRT can potentially accelerate growth plate fusion due to increased estrogen levels from aromatization, which has me thinking i might be shutting down any potential i have left
My doctor also has me taking X-Tend along with MK-677 to help stimulate growth hormone levels and support recovery.
So here's what I'm trying to figure out: • Do I still have a shot at reaching 6'2"? • Could the years of under-eating have seriously affected my growth? • With TRT and supplements, am I helping or hurting this is also important to add i got a bone age xray done and my bone age is 17 years and 7 months old so i think i might be cooked but not 100 percent sure
