Height gains from stretching [measured increase]

[diggbicc]

So I regularly measure myself in the morning and night and clock in at about 185cm barefoot and 183-184cm barefoot at these times respectively. I had been studying about back and pelvic muscle systems and figured out that my muscles were way too tight coupled with pronation of my feet(eversion, dorsi-flexion and abduction) as well as a slight arch drop.

There are a couple of muscles such as the​

• erector spinae
• quadratus lumborum
• hamstrings
• illiacus
• psoas
• hamstrings
• glutes

When these muscles are imbalanced and too tight lead to kyphotic-lordotic curves in the spine and uneven hips coupled with a nutated sacrum causing pelvic-tilt, which can effectively reduce your height significantly.
I only stretched my hamstrings and erector spinae and quadratus lumborum just before sleeping, and the stretches were just one set each so not something significant.When I woke up the today, I felt a lot taller and straighter, which prompted me to measure myself, all this while my highest morning height was 185 cm only, but today it was

186.5-187cm

This is really encouraging, only with half hearted stretches I straight up gained 2cm to be just under 6'2". Hopefully when I target all these postural muscles I can gain another 2-3 cm, which is not uncommon as many people have reported gains of upto 5-7cm from rigorous and regular stretching and strengthening of these postural muscles

Hopefully this means I can stretch to be 190-192cm

EDIT 2: To all the curiouscels, I didn't grow to 187cm , I just stretched to allow me to stand straighter and expose more of my actual height.​

I'm not unsatisfied with my height, but I am definitely unsatisfied with my bad posture and the tightness of muscles that comes with it. But no one here cares about these fundamental things but just wants to know how much they can directly benefit from face, height , frame upon undertaking any action. The bonus benefit of doing this is that I will gain height, but it is not my primary motivation.

From 183 to 187? Brb will abuse this to reach 6’7

Use glucosamine and chondrotin to stay at your morning height all day

A lot of your body cavities and hormonal systems are affected by tight muscles, they can compress organs and restrict breathing, and if any of those organs happen to have endocrine glands in close proximity or endocrine functions themselves it may affect hormonal functions and a whole cascade of effects.
Even learning to walk, stand and be in proper posture will significantly help you lose fat and become muscular. By default you can actually have visible abs, assuming bf level and diet are optimal.

Is there any proof it works? If so, that's amazing

I mean u have the testimony of @diggbicc

@Deliciadecu made a thread on it a few months ago

it logically makes sense why your height would increase when you straighten your body through exercises

it’s up to you

i think that is because of the tourists and non-natuve dutch men.

I had heard from a native dutch person that the avg among native dutch males is 192cm. Almost everyone he knew in his family and relatives as well as native acquaintances was above that height apparently

 

[john2]

This is legit bhai.

I gained an inch of permanent night height in 6 months time tbh.

Still being 6'1" isn't satisfactory.

I hope my growth plates aren't infused yet.

I' turning 18 in two months, so these might be my final days of growth.

Let's hope your results are permanent.

How old are you btw?

 

[diggbicc]

can the mods pin this?

@Lorsss @Aesthetic @Dude420 ​

 

[Posmo]

Noticed this after doing yoga for a bit.. gave me a solid inch but that’s prolly the most you’re gonna get, can’t stretch your way to 6’6

ik, I don't expect 6" or something. Somewhere around 2-3" total is reasonable tho

 

[Deleted member 5521]

Good idea, plus once im flexible enough i can suck my peepee

 

[Deleted member 2788]

U tellin me u got 4 centimeters of height just by stretching? I don’t buy it. Show us pictures, you can blurry your face easily.

Seriously half the people here either can't read or lack comprehension skills.
I said I went from 185cm in the morning to 186.5-187 in the morning

Please read my post again carefully

nice brah

Try inversion table

 

[diggbicc]

Try inversion table

ngl I wanna do it to decompress spinal discs.
Proper foot arch, ankle joint position, optimally lengthened muscles, proper skeletal occlusion, properly decompressed and hydrated discs as well as other factors have an infinitesimal increase in height by themselves alone, but when added together they have a significant effect, like 2-3", some cases even reported upto 5.5" but I don't take it too seriously.

 

[Chad69]

I stretched once on a pull up bar in my backyard and gained 1.5cm of temporary height
