Any methods to get taller and get your arms longer?
Hey, I'm currently 17 and around 5'6/7...I know, I'm pretty short for my height and I am fully disadvantaged because my wingspan is 10cm shorter than my height...I'm disadvantaged in swimming and basketball and I hate it
So I'm asking you, what are some methods to grow quickly before my 'actual growth spurt' runs out? I'm aiming for at least 6 foot but I don't think it's possible :(:
I'm pretty sure I haven't grown for the last 3 years and probably my growth spurt is already is over...yes I've checked the internet, they said to: - eat a healthy diet
- drink milk
- sleep
I just want you 'tall' people out to share your methods, your experiences and reasons. If your talking about genes, my dad is around 180cm (6foot)
Also about arm length...is there a way to get them longer? I'm fan of basketball and most NBA players out there have long arms e.g. Rondo, Rubio and Kevin Durant, I just envy them and how's that even possible? I also heard that cardio isn't good for your growth spurt, yeah so I don't workout, I just swim and bball lol
Should I go to the gym or something? do some pushups?
Discuss your experiences with me!

I am 15 years old and I am 6'3, i don't know much about my wingspan but its big compared to people my age and height.
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.

In basketball being a short person sometimes has it's adventages, that they can't steal the ball from you.
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.

Stretching.
Lie down and get two of your friends to pull you, one by the head nd one by the feet.
In all seriousness you can't really 'grow' yourself lol unless you have surgery?

Re: Any methods to get taller and get your arms longer?
My suggestion is a good diet.
I wouldn't hang upside down on a tree or any of the others lawl.
But I wish you luck!
Re: Any methods to get taller and get your arms longer?
I'm 5'7'' or so myself and I don't find myself short, it's a regular size. Even tho, most basketball players have 6'x'', you should not worry, it's not like you would wants a size just to play a game, you probably won't live your whole life playing a sport. Just accept who you are and give your best.
But yeah, my arms are good in size too, so.. yeah, SURGERY!
Re: Any methods to get taller and get your arms longer?
Wait has everyone missed that he has said "I am short for my height"?
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.
Re: Any methods to get taller and get your arms longer?
Eat something that is taller than you and then you should get taller? O_O

There's surgery to increase size of your limbs however I find 5'6'' totally normal and you should stop worrying about it, I stopped growing at age 17 I'm only an inch taller than you are and it never stopped me
