At 13.5 I was 5’9 with a 6’4 wingspan. 7 inch ape index
Now I’m 15 and 6’1 with a 6’6 wingspan. 5 inch ape index.
Around 14.5 I was somewhere around 5’11 with a 6’5 wingspan.
My ape index peaked at 13.5 then dropped around an inch a year

This phenomenon comes from how growth plates close which is typically a distal to proximal pattern (distal means outer proximal means inner)
The usual pattern is hand and fingers stop first
Then elbow
Then foot
Then wrist
Then ankle

Later in adolescence major height producing bones such as the distal femur, proximal tibia and proximal femur begin to close
Along with pelvic growth centers
Then your spine matured until late teens/early adulthood, the last chance of vertical growth.

Then your pelvis fully matures along with your clavicles
Clavicles are one of the last bones to fully fuse with each clavicle roughly growing 10-20 mm from 15 to adulthood

Very expected. My hand size grew a bit from 14 to 15 around .1 inches. My clavs grew like 6-9 mm on each side I think that was my clavicle growth spurt. The rest of the increase of 1.5-3.5 cm probably came from my arms

Prob a clavicle growth spurt mixed with some arm lengthening, nigga how are you tapering In height growth from 14-15?
i dont fucking know how
do u think i will grow taller?
dad 174cm
mom 167cm
 
More growth history needed.
from 13-14yo i grew from 157cm to 168cm
from 14-14.5 i grew 3cm
and from 14.5-15.5(now) i grew nothing until one month ago i randomly grew 1cm in like 2weeks and after that i didnt grew anything(im measuring myself one time a week for like a year:feelswah:)
shoe size is 41.5 same for 2years
dad side grandpa height idk
grandma is like 155cm
mom side grandpa 170cm
grandma around 162cm
dad grew 20cm after 15yo
my sis(twin) is growing more than me
in the last 6months she grew 3cm (she is 161cm)
genetic is fucked
im probably early bloomer cuz i was almost the tallest in my class when i was like 12or13 before that when i was 7-8 i was the shortest everyone was taller than me by one head

Maybe in another life i will be tall:lul::feelswah:

U had a growth spurt from 13 to 14, a huge 11 cms then had a sharp taper. You’ll grow a bit more but I wouldn’t expect much. You’ll probably be like your dad or a bit taller. If you’re confident you’re still growing taller I’d hop on an ai to make sure I can squeeze in another few cms
