is being lean during puberty good for growth?

[Deleted member 9699]

like 10-11% bf

all the tiktok chads that are lean tend to be like 5' 6- 5'7" which makes me think those faggots might be stunting their growth

 

[Deleted member 5969]

Probably bc being fat produces more E

I doubt that you can stunt your growth in most 1st world countries unless you have an eating disorder or in poverty. Though you don't have to be 10-11% bf if you are too high it can cause you to be lower t and higher e which is bad for growth.

yeah but to be low bodyfat means you undereat on calories which could be hindering your growth no?

yeah but I don't think it's possible to do that accidentally, only if you have an eating disorder or are in poverty.

I've been around 10ish% bf most of my teen years and I'm pretty sure I didn't have stunted growth.

It's been shown that the minimized hgh from being overweight isn't enough to significantly affect growth so within a healthy range, no. If you're very very lean, abs visible etc. That will stunt your growth. It's why certain athletes don't grow very much after starting. They are constantly cutting to make weight.

having both high E and T may be beneficial since estrogen enlarges the pituitary gland which then creates more HGH

Being 9-12% body fat and 0 muscle mass caused my teeth to decay as a teenager. 15% body fat is ideal IMO. At least until you reach 20.

Kinda true my wrestling teammates are all manlets due to cutting
meanwhile I made weight before the season and never had to cut, eating at maintance all the time so I grew normally

Estrogen causes growthspurts, but negatively affects adult height

High e closed your growth plates and fucks with your brain
low-medium e is ideal

Huh didn’t know that, makes sense since I git gyno when I had a spurt

I was fat during puberty (still played sports but had too much bf) and grew to 6'3 despite my dad being 6' and mom being 5'7
