My height journey ( For all the heightmaxxers )

[Deleted member 7693]

I have seen 16 year olds saying it's over, well here is some lifefuel for you:
I got to 185 at 16, then 188 at 17. Then I didn't grow until 20.5 and got to 190 at 21, now at 22 I am 191, due to posture difference and time of day measured, maybe even 193 cm.
What could've been the reason for the stunt ?
I began suffering from IBS, digestion problems etc, at 16, which led to my body not absorbing nutrition properly. I would get better, gain 10 kg, then it would come back and I would drop 10 kg in under a month and would spend one year to recover over and over.

Another thing, none of my parents or grandparents have gotten above 180. but me and couple of my cousins did, it's more than parents and grandparents genes, my great grandfather is said to have been 190 cm tall.
Interesting enough, my family is all about cardio, but my great grandfather looks more like the strength type of guy in pictures, and I used to look more like my family until I started lifting weights, that is where everything seems to have changed. It seems as if genetics is like a web that could be tapped into. My theory is that, by me doing things that my great grandfather did, I have somehow activated his genes, by going into those pathways.

Take whatever you want from this, but please don't dismiss it as sudo science, then 30 years later you find out science has found evidence of this and you realise what could've been if you used your brain rather than only using what has already been proven.

Nothing here is of benefit jfl. Sadly the nutrients didn't go to your brain.

 

[godsmistake]

over, i have no clue what my great great parents did

Well, what you could take from it the importance of nutrition for maximising potential. And it was rather to show those who are still young that there is hope, no reason to get mad

The post is flared as life fuel, to show those who have lost hope at 16, that there is still hope. Then a bit of info to show the importance of nutrition

Did you start to grow after fixing IBS? do you mean digestion problems as in low stomach acid/reflux? if no, should one focus on fixing that too? that might be my problem... happy for you bro

Thank you
Yes and no, I stopped growing when it was at it's worst, around 16 - early 17, then I got better at 19, instead of being sick every day, it turned into once a month. I got another passport at 19, where I was still 188 as at 17. Then at 20 I had another outburst, was stunted in all growth, didn't build muscle, couldn't gain weight until 20.5, this is where recovery took place, I started gaining back weight, then I got measured again at 21, and that is when I had reached 190 cm. then it went uphill from there.
IBS will probably be there for a while , but not in the same way as at 16 - 19.

Then why tf didn't you say that instead of being like "Im 200000cm teehee"

When was your growth spurth?

 

[Deleted member 7693]

I said that IBS hindered growth due to not absorbing nutrition

 

[Deleted member 7693]

When was your growth spurth?

Around 20.5 yrs

 

[Narthurnax]

Around 20.5 yrs

I'm actually in Tanner 5, where are your at 16?

 

[Justttt]

Fuck you

 

[JizzFarmer]

This may have some credence, my cousin grew 1.5 inches at age 23 after he started lifting. Who knows?

That's bullshit tbh but lifting weights seems legit for heightmaxxing. I've heard many stories about guys who grow taller in 18-20 after military service with strenuous training.

Also this https://www.quora.com/Is-it-possibl...th-spurt-during-puberty/answer/J-Rodriguez-40

I was 21 and 5′8. I then started noticing pimples everywhere. I didn't think anything about it. But coincidentally, a few months later, I started bulking. And bulking heavy. I mean, 7000 calories a day. 4 work outs a day. 6 days a week. I noticed my pants were shorter but whatever. I was more worried about the muscle. Then 1 year later, I was 6′1. I'm 23 and 6′5.

Fuck you

Love you too

You may try the SCD diet for IBS, it helped a lot of people even though no studies about it since ROI on diets are way lower than drugs, still hundreds of testimonies are on the web

Heightmaxxing is such a cope. Height is primarily genetic. Injecting HGH during your teenage years might push you a bit past that limit, but that's about it.

 

[Chadline Chaddinson]

It probably won't, it may just accelerate growth towards the genetic limit.

Injecting HGH is useless/risky if you have no trouble producing it naturally.

 

[Alexanderr]

Doesn’t give one much hope tbh, you’re an exception and the height to age charts prove it...

 

[Alexanderr]

Heightmaxxing is such a cope. Height is primarily genetic. Injecting HGH during your teenage years might push you a bit past that limit, but that's about it.

Height is about 80% genetic. 20% of height deviation from normal is environmental. This is a huge amount.
Of course, it doesn’t prove the effectiveness of the methods discussed here but it at least gives us a chance.
