Is it true that you grow taller all the way into your early 20s?

Is it true that you grow taller all the way into your early 20s? 5'10 18 year old manlet here hoping to make it to 6 ft. My dad is 6'1 so i think i have a good chance.

How tall is your mom?
>>
>>35292248
5'4

You peak in height at 22, after that it goes down slowly. Maybe less if you lift, but the point is you hit your max around 22. The change from 18->22 is on average about a half an inch.

So you are pretty much out of luck.
>>
>>35292351
atleast if im 5'10.5 i can round up to 5'11.
>>
>>35292229
no

>You peak in height at 22
Literally every site I'm looking at says we're pretty much done at 18.

What are you looking at?
>>
>>35292351
>less if you lift
squats LITERALLY make you shorter
>>
>>35292405
as soon as you turn 18 or like, well after your 18th birthday? my brother grew another inch or so after graduating HS at 19.
>>
>>35292415
Until you stand back up with the weight
>>
>>35292351
>maybe less if you lift.
Any workout or activity that puts pressure on the spine or knees.
Will eventually make you lose height.
There is no way around it.
Thankfully the effects aren't noticeable until after you're 40 generally.
You will lose on average half an inch every ten years after prime.
The only way to help prevent this is good posture and diet.

that has actual data, but if you look at charts of male height you see it peaks at 22

>>35292379
I'm 6"5 but say I'm 6"2 so mallets seem smaller. How does this make you feel?
>>
>>35292432
Those are averages and the peak is due to late late onset of puberty catching up in height, not continued growth from normal males.

OP if you hit puberty at a normal age ~12 or so you're done growing by 18 or 19. If you were a little late maybe you have an extra year or two.
>>
>>35292438
Who the fuck would fall for this?
At 6 foot there is no noticeable height difference for me from people 5'10'' 6'2''.

The only time I feel awkward is when I see my brother, dudes fucking 6'9''
Horrible back problems also, bless him.
>>
>>35292592
Has your brother gotten pussy simply because of his height?
>>
I continue to receive the "you look taller" from friends I see regularly. Apparently men don't stop growing until 21 years old.
>>
>>35292229
I stopped growing at 18.
>>
>>35292637
I ain't that dude but that's some freakishly large size. He probably has though girls like being huge attention whores so a big guy like that is probably wanted.
>>
I stopped growing at 16 … luckily

>tfw 6'4'' masterrace
>>
>>35292229

TFW only 6'4 and want to grow to 6'5 or 6'6, but can't because I'm too old.
>>
>>35292592

He shouldn't have back problems. His posture is most likely the cause.
>>
>>35292229
I have a friend who was about 5'11 in 2013, he was 17 or 18. When I caught up with him again a year later he was 6'4. It was absolutely fucked and I don't like being around him anymore. It probably won't happen but it's not impossible.
>>
>>35292415
Not permanently.
>>
>>35294509
You know, that's kind of pathetic.
>>
>>35294509
Lol wtf did he start puberty at 17?
>>
>>35294553
I know. I'm 6'3 and I feel uneasy around him. Can't imagine what being 5'10 would be like.
>>
>>35294614
As a 5'10 dude who hung out with 2 guys that were around 6'3. It felt like being a 6th grader hanging out with high school seniors
>>
depends in your hormones history
>>
I grew all the way up to 21.
I ended up being about 3 inches taller than my dad.
>>
I was 5'9" at 16. Ten years later, still 5'9"
>>
I didn't stop growing until I was 23. It was only half an inch getting me to 6'1, but height is height.
>>
>>35292229
5'10 bitch you lucky im 5'6
>>
>>35295098
meh grass is greener, some 5'10 bloke wants to be 6'0 that 6ft bloke wishes he was 6'2
>>
>>35292229

>>
>>35292276
ur cucked
>>
>>35294622
do short people really feel this? im 6'3 and some of my best friends are tiny.
>>
>>35292229

See a doctor, get an X-ray. If your growth plates are fused you can't grow taller. If they aren't fused, get HGH injections (you'll have to give them to yourself over time) and you might grow another inch.
