How to grow taller

Issit really genes.My bro's 6'3.(around 192 cm)I'm about 6'(181)

I'm 18,I wanna grow taller.my growth spurt was around 17.Does playing Basketball really helps?I usually play football(soccer).

I wanna grow another 2-3 inches.I'm going to the gym about 2 times a week nowadays, but I'm afraid this might hinder my growth rate.Is this true?

go to some specialist doctor, have them break your legs, then get wee splint type things to hold them in the correct position, but about 2 mm apart
your legs then join up over the gap.

..something like that.. but i'm shite at wording stuff

haha dude i duno if u can make urself grow. if ur 18 now then id say uve still got a couple years of growing left.

They only do that for midgets. I mean dwarfs. I mean little people. I mean wee men.

Nope, prosthetic hydraulic adjustable superlegs are the only way to go. It's expensive but well worth the hidden handgun in the side of the thigh.


On actually saying something useful:

Working out hindering you growth rate is a myth.

eat lots of food

i grew taller than my mate pan by doing that, day in day out just eat fryups etc

LOL, you don't grow taller by playing a certain sport.

I am 6'8", partly because of genes (my dad is about 6'4", my mom only 5'8") since my sister is about 6'1", but also because of nutrition. When I was younger (I am 18 now) I ate a lot of dairy products, those help you grow like a mother******. At one point our doctor told my mom to stop feeding me dairy products because I was growing too fast. I was bout 6' when I was 11 years old. Obviously I didn't stop eating dairy products, you need those for a healthy diet.

Can't give you any tips, but at 18 years old most people are done growing.

Re: How to grow taller

- Genes play an important role.
- Too much exercise can hinder your growth
- Most medicines help increase growth if you have a disease, not just because "you want to be taller"
- You're already tall enough, why do you want to grow even more? It may be unconfortable.

Look, i'm 18, I think i can grow a few inches more(hopefully),why not grow taller.

And no its not uncomfortable cause i dont see any problems in being tall anyways(not too tall(6foot 8 and above is a wee bit too much).Besides.. i'm thinking of going out with this chick but shes almost as tall as me and usually tall girls go out with even taller guys.

I sincerely doubt you can change anything to that, unless you wish to resort to some kind of advanced plastic surgery, but then is it really worth it ?

Tough when I think of it I know that if your a body builder and work out a lot you tend to "expend" instead of growing up, wich is why you see a lot of heavely muscular man very small.. so I dunno if its your case but you might wanna avoid that if it was inm you plans :P

Ps: your 18, your not done growing, give it some time

pumping iron to bulk on muscle will fuze your growth plates together and stunt your growth... how long ago did you start doing weights?

when you are sleeping get your brother to tie your legs to the bottom of the bed and your arms to the top as far stretched out as they go and sleep like that. the next day you will have to do it again but you will notice you are stretched out more.

Where do you get this information?

As much research as you've obviously put into this you blatantly have not idea what you're talking about. Actually you see a lot of muscular men very tall. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, most Heayweight pro Bodybuilders, most NBA Players, Most NFL Wide Recievers...blah blah. If your expert observation is even true (which I doubt), it could only be because it's easier for short people to look muscular in the first place. Their limbs are shorter and they need less total muscle mass to look equally as muscular as a taller person.

hehe im about the same height as you but personally, i dont mind. maybe its just cuz i live in the country of small ppl so i dont look nor seem THAT short but yeah, i have no problem w/ my height. wouldnt mind being like 2" taller but its not really a big deal. i think my attitude makes up for my height or the lack of it!

no YOU are... stop colonizing their women

I wouldn't recommend that he lift anything he can't do for at least 5 reps until he's 18 or so, but even there the consideration isn't so much the risk of stunting his growth (which won't happen) as the risk of injuring tendons, ligaments, or joints that are unused to the demands of heavy lifting.
