Age 16. 6ft/6'1. Any tips on how to grow?!
Question: Age 16. 6ft/6'1. Any tips on how to grow.?
Some of you taller guys with shorter parents must have some advice.?
Can I grow 3 inches.? Aged 16. .?
I want to grow 3 to 4 inches (for rowing). Atm I am 184cm, just over 6ft. I want to be 190-193cm (6'3-6'4), I'm 16 (since late July), eat very cleanly + take multi vit and cod liver oil + drink LOADs of milk, row a lot - involves stretching 2x daily, play basketball, run, lift weights (no it does not stunt growth) and my uncles/dad all grew 3 or 4 inches from 16, although my dad is only 6ft. I'm still growing (1 cm since July).
also my dad has a much more even leg:torso ratio than me, with his legs only being slightly longer. Mine on the other hand is still very much leg > torso in length. This apparently evens out before you're fully grown at 21-25ish.?
So from your own experience/knowledge, am I right in thinking that I should be able to grow at least 6cm.?
Thanks :)Health Question & Answer

Answers:
that really depends on when your growth spurt started and ended.
I am 15. My growth spurt started when I was 11 years old, and it ended when I was 13. And in the last 2 years I have only grown 1 inch. And like maybe 1/2 cm since May.
Since you are saying that you have grown 1 cm since july. I don't think that it is completely hopeless. I know that there is a homeopathic medicine to help you grow taller and I am taking it right now. But it hasn't made a difference so far but I keep my hopes up. You should talk to a doctor if you want an artificial way of making you taller. I know that it is possible.
Naturally I think you will grow maybe 2-3 cm more
also just on a side note I am 5'8" and my parents are trying to make it tall every possible way. I think you are at a very nice height right now and my parents would be very happy if I was that tall. If you grow 6cm more you might become too tall which is not good, you should think of your future other than rowing.Health Question & Answer

If I were you I would stop worrying about your height. How tall do you want to be.? You are not exactly vertically challenged.Health Question & Answer
