• Mid genetic height (from family/charts) around 183-184 cm
• Current height: 177 cm
• Age: 18 years
• Growth history: only +2-2.5 cm total over last 4 years
• Father grew until 20, so possible delayed plate closure in family line
• Never had X-ray to confirm plates, but assuming borderline/late since minimal recent growth
Was originally planning to pin test (low-moderate dose) for overall looksmax + frame. But now debating whether to add
HGH (or even run HGH solo first) if there’s any realistic shot at 2-5+ cm more from reopened potential / late spurt / disc hydration / whatever.
Key questions:
1. With such slow recent growth but family late growth precedent, how likely are plates still partially open? Worth getting hand/wrist X-ray before deciding?
2. Does test help at all for height this late (or just speeds closure if anything left)? Seen mixed takes on exogenous test + estrogen conversion closing things faster.
3. Better to go HGH mono (3-5+ IU pharma, long run) hoping for that 1-4 cm miracle window, or stack low test + HGH? Or just test solo and accept 177 is endgame?
4. Anyone here with similar stats (stuck +2-3 cm late teens, dad grew to 20) who actually gained measurable height from HGH/pinning cycle? Numbers + protocol + age when started?
