Any methods to get taller and get your arms longer?

6ft 3 <--- like a bawse

In few months I am gonna be 19 and I am 5'7-8 and I don't give a single fuck.
But if plan on career where height is critical then good luck.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

The only thing you'll do doing that is possibly injure your spine.

HGH won't make you taller as such, it just stimulates IGF-1 receptors in your muscle (smooth and not smooth unfortunately, see: organ growth), which can do some serious damage if used incorrectly.

If he is at his 'max height', his growth plates will already be in the process of closing. this can happen anywhere between the ages of 16-23ish

Eating a good diet is the 'right' answer here. If you eat a good balanced diet and make sure you are eating enough you will ensure you grow to your body's full potential.



Stretching can only really help you if you stand with bad posture and slouch.



At the end of the day, some people are tall, some people are short. That's life.

As for swimming it's only of how fast you are. I used to do alot of swimming competitions and i was rather a small person about 1m and 40cm when i was 14 yo(now i'm 18 and almost 1m and 90cm), and mostly i ended up in the top 3 swimmers.

Yeah but then it has its disadvantages...rebounding and finding a way to shoot so you won't get blocked by another defender...It's also harder to get steals and blocks as well as your short arms won't be able to reach in or reach up high

Yeah probably...but how about Yao Ming? he's 7'6? that's extraordinary LOL, 'black' people are seemingly tall but it varies
Jandey apparently is the similar height to me (I think he's just a tad taller)
Yeah asian girls seem to have the new trend of being "short"

Yeah I do worry about my height and how people portray my age as...that's one of the reasons too, I'm suppose to look like a high school graduate but people mistake me for a year 10 boy....that I don't like, I prefer being 'mature' and 'TALL' hahahaha

My diet is daily either fish, chicken or meat or i don't eat at all. I drink 3-4 cups of milk a day i barely eat rice or any carbohydrates. I eat alot of salad too and eat 4 apples a day.

I told my friend about my diet and he followed it and he actually grew taller and passed his older brother even tho his parents are not that tall their height doesn't exceed 5'6 and the fact that he is phillipino most of them are short but his height is pretty decent.

Try to follow this but don't stop carbohydrates its just for me because i don't like rice and pasta and do not take too much of carbohydrates because it will stop you from eat meat. If you barely workout i recommend that you drink low fat milk because you will gain weight insanely with drinking full fat milk and not working out. Also alot of sleep really helps I am a huge fan of sleeping i can do anything to sleep.

Alright...I'll try using your method in conjuction to my eating habits hahahahaha...yeah I love sleep, is there a certain time for sleep? Like, I sleep at 11 usually...get up around 9 but it's holidays now, sleep at like 1...and get um at like 10
I try to get a 10 hour sleep on my schedule

How can yo be short for your height?
Personally Im quite tall for my height of 5ft4.

Well anyway, do plastering. Plasterers usually have really long arms.

---

but 'girls' are suppose to be seemingly short (no offense) but that's how it is thou.
I think your height is pretty decent if I'm around 5ft6...some of my friends are way shorter (they are too asian and study too much)

Yeah I sometimes slouch when I walk, it's a bad habit I guess, yeah keep my back straight is to the thing and eat a healthy diet...

A lot of the height has to do with genetics. You can help by eating and sleeping properly though. Sounds simple but most people don't eat enough or sleep enough.

Try jumping constantly man.

Wouldn't that make it worse o.O
By sleeping we grow like half inch and during day shrink half inch cause of disks (no idea what those are called in english).
So jumping would cause those disks to shrink, perhaps.

Reminded me that my old friend told me that when doing pull ups, go down all the way, that way you can grow perhaps. Again it's just theories/rumors/whatever people are saying around.

Hey...that's one of my friends said...he's currently studying Medicine right now (one of my older sister's friends)
He was like: measure yourself but don't measure yourself at night because you will be shorter, he said something about: gravity pushing you down...

I'm a 6'7" skinny 16 year old and I just sit on my ass all day in front of a computer or TV while I eat one of the following:
- Rice, Hamburger, and an Apple
- Cheese Pizza
- McDonalds

I'm just that cool.






Honestly, though, do not worry about it. There are a ridiculous number of disadvantages to being tall. For one, I actually have to stoop to kiss my girlfriend. Also, I hit my head on like... everything, and there is no end to the bad puns. Unless you're a ridiculously obese freak, which is doubtful, I'm sure you're fine as you are. Not only that, but it's more impressive to see a short guy doing well in sports than it is to see a tall guy succeeding. AND IGNORE THE PEOPLE WHO SAY THERE'S ACTUALLY A RELIABLE WAY TO GET TALLER, THEY'RE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CLICK THE POPUP ADS THAT ADVERTISE PENIS GROWTH.

i think most of it is genetics

Height was dictated by your bone length(more or less) lass time I checked, ergo. It's not possible to make yourself grow anymore then genetics tell to you. Anyone who says otherwise is spewing bullshit. You can't force your bones to grow anymore then they're supposed to, unless you have some type of serious surgery or medical alteration to your genes.

Stretching makes you taller temporarily. As you stretch the muscles they will retain there stretched shape but gradually return to there original state. This happens when you sleep, you are taller when you wake up as your muscles have been relaxed for many hours. Though, once you get further into the day you will go shorter :P

that stretching torture that was used like 300 years ago, I heard that works. Joke.

Ermmm... good diet.

My dad is around 6foot (a bit taller when he was a bit younger, since he's shrunk now)
and I'm only 5'5...and my growth spurt is over...yeah I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables! hope I can achieve 6 foot! Thanks for the replies guys
