Bulking vs Hormonemaxxing for height

[Prøphet]

Which is more important? Calorie surplus even if you put on some fat, or staying lean for optimal hormones?

hormones. fat will fuck your growth hormone supply, it will also lead to worse sleep (apnea) and more cortisol which will stunt you. Focus on being moderately lean, being active, and eating whole foods.
