opinion on height growth

[Deleted member 104869]

irdgaf but the power of bone remodeling, joint loading, and spinal optimization if done right is amazing (before puberty ofc, but honestly even after)

 

[Deleted member 112636]

Over

 

[Deleted member 104869]

Over

I'm referring to actual physiological mechanisms that respond to mechanical stress. It's not some bro-science bullshit.

The skeletal system isn't static. In fact, it's constantly breaking down and rebuilding. Apply the right forces at the right time, especially during developmental years, and you can literally reshape the structural integrity of a human body. That's not an opinion, it's fucking biology.

Squats and pushups wont turn you into a Chad. Get over with it.

Nobody said squats and pushups alone make you a 'Chad,' genius. I'm talking about comprehensive biomechanical adaptation through progressive loading patterns that optimize skeletal development.

What does that even mean

It means systematically applying specific types of physical stress to the body in ways that force the skeleton to adapt and grow stronger over time.

AGAIN, your bones aren't just static sticks holding you up but living tissue that responds to demands placed on them.

When you load a bone properly, not just once, but consistently with increasing intensity, the body says 'hey, I need to make this stronger to handle this stress.' So it deposits more minerals, increases density, and even changes the structural architecture. Same with joints and connective tissue.

This isn't some fringe theory. It's basic physiology.

Why do you think astronauts lose bone mass in space? No gravity means no loading.

Why do tennis players have asymmetrical bone density? Repeated loading on their dominant side.

But thats bone mass/bone density not length

 

[Deleted member 104869]

But thats bone mass/bone density not length

I never claimed it was about length specifically. Pay attention to what I actually said instead of what you think I said.

Bone remodeling affects the entire skeletal structure: density, strength, alignment, and yes, in developing bodies before growth plates close, it can influence final dimensions.

Look at populations with different loading patterns during development. Their skeletal proportions differ significantly. When young athletes engage in certain activities, it affects growth hormone release, joint spacing, posture, and ultimately structural outcomes. The body adapts holistically.

And even after growth plates close, proper loading can still optimize posture and alignment, which changes effective height and structural efficiency.
Someone with collapsed posture from weak musculature and poor loading patterns will never express their full structural potential.

But you're doing exactly what I expected, which is oversimplifying a complex physiological process because you don't understand the mechanisms.

The entire point is length

 

[Deleted member 104869]

The entire point is length

Then you completely missed the point of what I was saying from the beginning.

I was talking about comprehensive structural optimization:

- alignment
- density
- strength
- functional capacity

If all you care about is length, you're thinking about this all wrong.

But fine, let's talk length since you're fixated on it.

Before growth plates close, certain loading patterns can absolutely influence growth trajectories.

Look at the literature on gymnasts versus swimmers versus basketball players who start young. Their bodies develop differently based on the mechanical stresses applied.

Even AFTER puberty, proper spinal decompression and postural correction can add measurable height. No, not by magically growing bones, but by optimizing what you already have.

Most people walk around with compressed vertebrae and collapsed posture that robs them of height they already possess structurally.

You type like chatgpt and posture doesnt do much

 

[Deleted member 104869]

If coherent sentences and actual knowledge sound artificial to you, that says more about your intellectual capacity than anything else.

posture doesnt do much

That's objectively wrong.

Proper postural alignment can add 1-2 inches to expressed height instantly.

A spine with normal curvature versus one with excessive kyphosis or forward head posture has dramatically different vertical expression.

But I'm wasting my time here. You clearly came with your mind made up, not to actually learn anything. This is exactly why most people remain mediocre. They dismiss what they don't understand rather than investigating it.

You wrote whole essays about loading and 2 words about spinal optimization how was i supposed to know nigga

Fair enough. I didn't elaborate on spinal optimization because I assumed anyone discussing biomechanics would have the baseline knowledge. My mistake.

You messed up by putting this in off-topic.

And why would that be?

You should have put in a different section; people on this side of the forum won't care.

You're probably right.

@JeanneDArcAlter
Op is so high iq!
@holy how will you achieve straight spine without surgery? Wearing corset like a girl for wasp waist?

 

[ficko-cr7]

You're probably right.

Bro i see that you are quite intelligent by the way you write which is amazing, what i wanted to ask you is could you give me some habits or things i can do daily to maximise height growth. Im 17 and lets say my plates are still open. Maybe some supplements or best ways to put force on my bone to increase in height… However thanks alot!

 

[Magnum452]

You're probably right.

So what can you do after growth plates fuse??

Do they end up the way they are because of the sport they conduct

or

If reduced gravity causes astronauts to loose bone mass in space, could not a hyper gravity chamber cause increased gravity, and reverse bone loss in old people. Osteoporosis comes to mind as a potential application for this.
