Lurker here, debut post.

Dad - 6'5
Mum - 5'7

Predicted height = ~6'2.5 (male obv)

Me - 5'9 @just turned 17

Haven't grown since like fucking 13/14y/o
Feels like I won genetic lottery with tall parents but my ticket is invalid or sum shit.

I heard stories some people shoot up at 18/19/even 20 but I'm just coping instead of taking action.

Heightpill is so brutal I'm tired of it all

I'm going to get my hand/wrist and knee x-rayed to see if growth plates still open. If so, I'm getting hopping on AI & HGH.

9-14 videogamerlosercel poor exercise no sunlight mid diet. Gaming all night, shit irregular sleep.

15-17 gymceling 6x weekly - high intensity - deadlifts, etc. Mid dist cardio also, clean high protein diet, good sunlight exposure. 8+ hrs sleep.

Poor lifestyle previously fucked my development???

Any advice on specifics/general advice is appreciated. Lowk scared of getting enlarged organs or sum BS...

Holy fuck thats brutal, I also relate to you as my mom is 5'8, dad is 5'11, and im capped at 5'9, but yours is even more brutal, maybe the saddest case Ive seen on here tbh. Have you grown in the last year?

Im so sorry bro

Dont beat yourself up for not measuring up to your parents, its incredibly hard to genuinely stunt your growth in a 1st world country, you probably just got a shitty gene combo from your grandparents'

For every story you hear about a 6'4 nigga towering over his parents theres a story about people like us

Its not your fault

Right but when is the last time you grew before that growth spurt? I've been same height since 13/14. I'm worried growth plates might be closed.

Dude... If he genuinely hasnt grown since 14 its better to js stay realistic... Ofc x rays are good idea but its not looking good, I think its impossible for him to get a noticeable growth spurt if hes already this developed

Thanks bro...

Mums side grandparents are 5'7, 5'4, she came out tall for a female, 5'9

Dads side 5'10, 5'7/5'6 so he also came out very tall for his parents height, 6'5

So they both are tall for their parents height.

So you're saying I might be enduring my shitty grandparents height genes instead of my good parents height genes? Unfortunate if that's true... Dad says he was already tall by my age, same with mum.

Again.. haven't grown since 13/14. Seems like I got crop farmer peasant genetics from grandparents then?

Makes sense, basically both of your parents carried an unexpressed copy of the short gene passed down from their parents, and when they made you both of the short genes combined and became dominant in you, so now you express a shorter height

Its brutal man, same thing in my family

I’m 6’0 at 16 with my dad at 5’9 and mom at 5’2. It is truly a game of luck, isn’t it?

What tanner stage are you?
Just googled it, not an expert but visually id say 4?? Although I only started getting armpit hair like 6months ago still quite little. Voice pretty average. Bits of facial hair. Muscle mass decent since I'm gymceling. Foot size UK7.

Did you attempt to deliberately heightmaxx/ max potential or you just 6'0 with no specific effort?

I’d do testosterone with an ai with maybe a little hgh that was when I hit a growth spurt I’m skeptical of hgh making a difference

12-13 went from 5’3 -> 5’9
13-17 5’9 -> 5’10
Late 17- 18 last month 5’10 - 5’11.5

5’10 dad from family of manlets
5’8 mom from family of ~6’2 men

Might be over for my growth but I think I’ll grow a little bit more

What dose of T and AI did you take and how long bhai?

No infact for the first 13 years of my life I was malnourished and barely ate. I never ended up growing significantly until I started forcing myself to eat for gymmaxxing

I do have a background of tall people tho, but just got shorter overtime from reproducing with shorter and shorter people ig

Started at 250 test early march for around 6 weeks 12.5 aromasin e3d then I decided to up it to 400 test then add 200 primo then I think the primo crashed my estrogen somehow since my dick stopped working and I got heavy brain fog

The primo experience might’ve shed some light on how I aromatize since most people use primo test at a 1: 0.7-1 ratio

Turned 18 late may

Fuck bro Idk if i wanna potentially ruin my life with roids I need to do more research cuz i don't know much rn.

Id say I'm MTN, 5'9. With softmaxxing + development could get high MTN. With more Physiquemaxx, statusmaxx could ascend a bit overall. 114iq, so it's not completely over to the point I say fuck it and take the risk...

It's tempting but I don't wanna fucking deform myself with HGH or shrink my balls and lose my dick with test, or plummet my oestrogen and motivation with AI's.

Honestly idk bro, side effects would fucking suck but if they were temp and I knew I could acend to 6'0 I would. Guess I'll seriously think it over it when I do x-ray.

You will be fine with a little test it’s when you start touching stronger anabolics like Tren is where you start risking permanent shutdown and even then you’ll still be fine probably

Tried the same gymmaxx + force feeding I got to like 80kg, like 20%bf in 6months no height change. 70kg now so that was pointless..

Test would be more effective than hgh? Sorry for my unknowledgeable questions I'll do my own research shortly

Maybe it only worked because like I said I was previously malnourished asl

For reference I was just about 90 lbs going into 8th grade 😭

I remember actually tracking my calories for the first time, I thought I ate a lot that day but only ate 1500 cals 🥀🥀
 
Take hgh and ai, you might be growth hormone deficient or something like that
Idk If I'm deficient.. I put on muscle and strength quite quickly. I got back to gym after quitting for 1 year. In two months my benchpress: 60kgx12 ---> 70kgx12, but that might be newbie gainz and might not even be correlated to hgh so idk, I don't know enough on the topic.

Damn I probably wasn't as bad as you but I remember putting my BMI into the calculator and getting the underweight catagory..malnourished probably not, very skinny yes.

Yea I was always very weak, couldn’t even do a pushup with bad form. My doctors never said a fucking thing and I never truly had a “growth spurt” because of it. At least I ended up being several inches taller than my predicted height (5’8 😬)

since u didnt grow in a while i would recomend getting a xray, if the plates are closed its over but if there opening u can use hgh to grow

mirin, you're probably defficient in IGF-1 and not test, being the reason you can pack on muscle but no height

and also check your growth plates to see if you can actually grow more

I was about to say there’s hope if you’re young because I grew 24 cm in 2 years but that was from 13 to 15 but if you’re 17 that’s brutal

Ill go tomorrow. I live in the UK, I'm under 18 so how do I get the xray free? Should I say that my wrist and hand hurts or some shit? Or do I just say I want an x-ray to check my growth plates?
