I have a few questions for you guys.

-At what age were you 5’8?
-How tall were you at 16?
-Before a growth spurt, did you have good sized calves?
-Did you grow after 16?
-Were you scared you would only be 5’8 when that was your height?
-At any period of your life did you have a horrible sleep schedule?
-If you are taller than everyone in your family, did you have any eating habits that they didn’t?
-do you believe that lifting at a young age can stunt growth? Or have you seen relatives or anyone in general lift at a young age and now grow to a good comfortable height?
-If someone shorter than you is more muscular, do you still believe you feel more confident than them

Just being curious. Thank you very much if you do answer these questions
The reason I am asking is because I am 5’8 as of now and after lots of research, every sign is showing that I will still grow 1-2 inches until I am 20.
If you wanna provide more details then go ahead and thanks.

I am taller than everyone in my family by 2 inches. I am 16 and 5’8, but this does not mean I have most likely stopped growing, as my genetic max height can’t be predicted with just my parents, but with the fact that I have other relatives like my grandpa who was 6 foot. I am Venezuelan and the average height for a male there is 5’8, but one thing for sure is that I am going to beg god for me to at least be 5’10.

I know most people here like knowing what someone in a post even looks like so that is why I attached a random picture of myself (this is before I buzzed my hair lol)

Thanks so much for answering. I’m very happy for you, 5’10 is a better height than most people think, and you may even still grow until you are like 20

I dont really know dude :lul: i prolly hit puberty very early on as I developed facial hair
Well I meant to say like you age when you grew 4 inches taller. That’s a medium late growth spurt for you, and you are blessed for that

Best of luck to you tho

you did say you were 5’7 up until the last oct-nov, which is a really short time frame when it comes to height growth. Growing 4 inches in those amount of months sounds like a growth spurt to me. Very lucky
 
Did you grow more at 16 and 17? And at what age were you sure that you ended
i dont think i never cared, height is 80% genetics 20% is how u live. i have friends and they are both 6’5 at 15 (2m dad)

Nice, I’m guessing you were 5’8 at like 14 turning 15?
i was short and hella fat at like 13/14 and i had a growth spurt and i am very thankful. Otherwise it would completely be over

I’m at a very similar situation lol. It’s never anything to be so worried about tho, as they could have just not reached their height potential because of the way they lived while they were still growing.

Lucky you, and I’m betting it made your highschool experience at 15+ a whole lot better?

Im 6’2 at 17 my dad is. 5’4 my mom is 5’2
 
I was 5.10 at 15, I'm 18 now and 6.2 without shoes. I had a pretty bad sleep pattern when I was 15 or 16, so I think I could have gotten even taller because my father is actually 6.5.

All imma say is

I was 5’11 at 16 and 6’2 at 20

That’s some luck.
I also had bad sleeping patterns while I was younger, but I’ve done research and I came to the conclusion that it didn’t stunt my growth as bad as it should’ve
I was still playing video games at the ages 13-15 and at 16 a few months ago would stay up on the phone with my chud ass ex girlfriend. I’m now begging god for more height and wish that I cared more about sleep.

Holy genes. You should come to America and thrive lol
(But I’m guessing you probably hate America)
 
At what age were you 5’8?
9th grade
-How tall were you at 16?
Still 5'8, or leaning towards 5'9
Before a growth spurt, did you have good sized calves?
Yes, but mainly due to mother's genetics and soccer / taekwondo
Did you grow after 16?
Yeah, not by much though. I stunted my growth heavy during puberty by eating shit, sleeping for 3-4 hours a night, and not being active :feelswhy:
Were you scared you would only be 5’8 when that was your height?
Eh, yeah sort of. Being manlet height is pretty brutal, but I'm still not far off 5'8 I'm like 5'10 exact no shoes
At any period of your life did you have a horrible sleep schedule?
9th-11th grade
If you are taller than everyone in your family, did you have any eating habits that they didn’t?
Single sibling not including my half-brothers, but if we are I am taller than 2 of them, and same height as the youngest out of my half-brothers. They definitely had way better habits than me at a younger age and I feel like if I fuck my growth I could've been taller by a couple inches than my tallest half-brother.
Do you believe that lifting at a young age can stunt growth? Or have you seen relatives or anyone in general lift at a young age and now grow to a good comfortable height?
Nah
If someone shorter than you is more muscular, do you still believe you feel more confident than them
Yeah

I have a few questions for you guys.

-At what age were you 5’8?
Probably mid 15
-How tall were you at 16?
Think it was around 5'10" or so at the start of age 16 and 5'11" at the end
-Before a growth spurt, did you have good sized calves?
Don't think my calves were ever anything special before of after and I don’t care much about that.
-Did you grow after 16?
Yes. Between the end of 16 and 18 I grew to 6'0"
-Were you scared you would only be 5’8 when that was your height?
Yes, as my growth was stagnant for a while and I was a late bloomer but at the time had no idea if I'd grow taller
-At any period of your life did you have a horrible sleep schedule?
Ever since around age 15 I've had extreme difficulty with sleep and it's caused me lots of suffering
-do you believe that lifting at a young age can stunt growth?
Possibly. Wouldn't surprise me if it takes up some of the energy and resources your body is supposed to use for height growth combined with other development and uses them on muscles instead. I never did any gym until around age 17, but wasn't a couch potato either and still did a lot of outdoor hobbies and physical tasks like land maintenance and mechanical repairs on our machines
-If someone shorter than you is more muscular, do you still believe you feel more confident than them
Depends on the height difference, but if the difference is very significant then yeah I do. I'm 6'0" and 175 pounds, so not super skinny but also not ridiculously muscular. I certainly don't feel insecure when I see guys that aren't too much over 5 feet tall even if they have super lean and muscular physiques. Now in the case of a less drastic height difference, like some 5'10" guy who is 200 pounds lean vs me at 6'0" 175 pounds, then it's more comparable and I'd say it equals out, so you get the point
Just being curious. Thank you very much if you do answer these questions

I wouldn't expect any growth after 18, and if you do get any it's likely to be very minor. By 18 my height was set in stone but I was still able to gain muscle and my frame filled out more. Was 150 pounds at 18 and now am 175 in my 20s

You're 16 so might have some growth to go just like me when I was that age
Thanks for answering the questions, legend.
This is honestly great data and I’m grateful for that. Makes a lot of sense too.
Best of luck

Great data, thanks for answering.
Also makes me more confident, as I have some fair sized calves and got a little worried when I noticed shorter people have those calves in em.
Best of luck to you tho, soccer and taekwondo must’ve been fun.

Yes, as my growth was stagnant for a while and I was a late bloomer but at the time had no idea if I'd grow taller
Also Another question, how long was your growth stagnant?

Also Another question, how long was your growth stagnant?
Well it wasn't fully stagnant, but from age 13-15 I didnt grow very much and it looked like I'd be short as an adult till I got a massive growth spurt before turning 16

I was 5'8 at 13, I've never really had calves, never had bad sleep schedule i always sleeps like 9-10 hours, I used to sleep like 11ish hours when I was under 14, thanks mom, I never feel inferior to a short person cuz I know damn well they wanna be me,and no lifting doesn't stunt growth. The only reason I feel I'm taller than my entire family is that i sleep a lot.

No problem bro, I'd say you can definitely get those 1-2 inches. We all grow differently though, so I'd recommend getting your bone age checked to know for sure

I am taller than everyone in my family by 2 inches. I am 16 and 5’8, but this does not mean I have most likely stopped growing, as my genetic max height can’t be predicted with just my parents, but with the fact that I have other relatives like my grandpa who was 6 foot. I am Venezuelan and the average height for a male there is 5’8, but one thing for sure is that I am going to beg god for me to at least be 5’10.
