I am shortly before my 18. age.
My mother is about 172cm, while my father is about 163cm.
Her 2 brothers are about 180-185cm.
She is saying, that she grew very late -like at 17-18.
And she also says that apparently her 2 brothers grew after 18-19.
The grandpa of my father was over 1.87cm apparently.
I right now am like 173cm-174cm at the age of 17.9.
I don’t know if I should continue to cut out my caloric deficit, which I did in durations of many months in the last 1.5-2 years.
I even think that I once started to fck up my metabolism because I was doing over 25000 steps on many days and still couldn’t loose weight.
I started to eat more again and listen to my big appetite; since then I feel so much better, its unbelievable.
I know that growth spurts after 18 are very rare, but there are cases existing like the case of dennis rodman, where people got late growth spurts.
Apparently my uncles had one, but sometimes I doubt that story.
Could I continue to listen to my appetite and eat or should I focuse on getting to single digit bodyfat?
I would be very thankful if God would grand me another more 4-6cm in beautiful, healthy and proportional height.
Thx for every helpful thread
