Is there some sort of growth problem I have?

[HAPAgymcel]

I'm 6'0.4 atm and I have ankles and hands that are a good size for my height (9.6 inches and 8 inches respectively), but my wrists are around 10th percentile at 6.25 inches. I've heard that wrist x-rays indicate whether growth plates are open or closed, so could this mean that I'm just going to grow for a long time? My height increased 0.67 inches since my birthday on May 31st and 0.9 inches since March 20th so I'm not sure.

How old are you and how many calories do you eat daily?

 

[HAPAgymcel]

How old are you and how many calories do you eat daily?

16 and I eat 2000-2500 calories a day, once a week maybe 3000

 

[HAPAgymcel]

I drink 3-4 glasses of whole milk a day too

 

[SoonToAscend]

Yes, x-rays will show your growth plates. Your wrists will grow in response to psychical stress, so any sports that involves can help you. Bouldering is gonna be the best

I do that since my whole life

I drink milk and orange juice because I don't like to drink water

Ah, I've been lifting 4x a week and I've measured my wrists to grow something around 0.1 inches from the start of the year. Looks like it would be a long time to get to 7 inches or something more average though.

it depends when puberty starts you will continue to grow in height, although 1,500 calories is the minimum to reach your maximum genetic potential and you consume 2-2.5k

Looks like calories are probably not a problem then. I was 5'3-5'5 from being 13-14 years old and ate like 1000-1500 calories, but when I started eating more (1500-2000 cals) and sleepmaxx on Zoom when I was 14 to 15 I grew to 5'9.5. Since being 15 and having a bit less sleep during the school year I've eaten 2000-2500 calories and lifted.

It's called puberty

 

[SoonToAscend]

You can try chemical compounds to increase height further

I forgot to ask you the most important thing, how tall are your parents?

5'8 mom and 5'10 dad

gotta convince my parents to be onboard with light MK677 dosing fr

 

[GandyIsNormie]

5'8 mom and 5'10 dad

Well, it's rare for your mother to measure 5'8 considering that you're hapa, you're probably finished in 6'1 or if you have a lot but good luck 6'2

 

[HAPAgymcel]

Yea it's probably because my mom is half Punjabi (other half Bengali). I've been supplementing 5000-10000 IU vitamin D3 + 100mcg K2 MK7 so I can get as close as possible to 6'2 or more. I've also been using GABA post-workout since a few days ago bc some studies found it boosts growth hormones a bit (probably mostly temporary though).

I think hormones are genetic, as long as you don't starve they won't be affected and will reach their height dictated by genetics

Why post workout?
I mean is there any benefit to that

 

[GandyIsNormie]

I'm 187cm with 17.5cm wrists but I'm not complaining because my body type is hyperbrachy

I don't have a photo of the male version, but to give you an idea:

Depends on how long your legs are

But long legs + short torso + gymaxxing will make you look aesthetic, although building muscle is difficult for me because my wingspan is 203cm (I'm 187cm jfl)

You think? If you didn't measure, you can't tell if you grew or not if it's just 1cm

 

[Deleted member 15854]

from measurement, i was 166.5 start of yr. now 169.5. said 1cm to be safe as i think rest couldve been posture etc

3000mg in the study but I tried 1000mg and it made me high, usually I do 500mg. Tried 500mg before bed last night and had very vivid and nice dreams.
