The final phase of growth in height
1.) Out of 221 boys investigated, only 54% had the same (+/- 1 cm) body height at age 27 years as they had at age 19.
2.) Average increment in stature was 2.13 cm, and the maximum increment was 7 cm from ages 19-27
The average 19 year old grew 2.13cm naturally
No delayed puberty, no GH, no AI, just a regular pool of boys and this was the result

Theory
I believe this growth is primarily spinal and, secondly, from residual growth plates. Essentially, residual growth plates are from growth plates that may look fused on a 2d x-ray, but in reality, some residual plate may persist, leading to post-adulthood growth.
Applications
If the average 19-year-old still has 2.14cm of residue growth, how could this be affected by extreme hgh/igf usage paired with an aromatase inhibitor? Could we double this potential to a 4cm gain?
I'm curious what you guys make of this study, how this could even be possible, and if you guys think HGH+AI could exacerbate these results?

Among 221 boys investigated, only 54% had the same (+/- 1 cm) body height at age 27 years as they had at age 19. Longitudinal observations of those boys indicate that the increment from 18 to 27 years is strongly dependent on skeletal maturation and even on such a distant event as age at peak...
