Is there any truth to increasing your height after puberty?

I'm 26, and wouldn't mind gaining a few cm's, if there are exercises that make that possible.

Searching for that on Google only results in a bunch of shady ad videos.

Break your legs, let them fill the gap, do that for 5-10 times, you will gain some cm's.
>>
>>37174863

The only remotely serious answer here so far.
>>
>>37174863
Probably just improved your posture, but it's still height gain.

>>37174822
Just wear your shoes with a lifting sole inside them, not many people notice until you actually take them off, a few of my friends wear shoes like that.
>>
>>37174909

OP here, I do have pretty bad posture. Haven't measured my height in a long time, but it's too short. Below 6ft for sure, and that's midget height.
>>
>>37174909
Honest if you have money and it's that big of a deal, you can gain a few inches through extremely painful and debilitating surgery that will probably leave you with terrible leg scaring and ruin whatever gains you've made as you'll find it hard to walk for a while, all for women to ignore the HEIGHT and target the FACE and FRAME.

>>37174952

It is a big of deal, though. Short people are doomed to be unsuccessful in their career path, as subconsciously every employer would rather hire the taller guy.

yes probably, you have good genetics, I would give it to 23-24 for you to completely stop growing. Lucky
>>
>>37174853

Maybe not seek Taylor's approval?

I mean fuck it,if something you didn't choose for yourself were to get you rejected by all women, then why even bother their approval?

Just do your own thing. Find a path to making money, get the property you want, the body you want, and then if still no takers you should just fuck whores - move to somewhere where its legal, and you go be happy.

Fuck their approval.

well, idk that for sure, but i give you all a formula to measure what is going to be ''your final stature'' tho... im like 1-2 cms taller than the result.

Males:
(height of mother+13) /2 + height of father +6.5 cms = final stature

Females:
(height of father -13) /2 + height of mother -6.5cms = final stature.

in cms.

I think it should look like this:

>>37174822

You want the only real answer?

Sleep, or just be horizontal, for a lot longer than you are already.Your body actually grows during sleep b/c of the lack of gravity effects.

I'm talking be horizontal in one long go each day. Getting 10 -12 hours sleep per day would be great both for your health and your height.

Try it. It worked for me.
>>
>>37182452

There's a balance to maintain here, though.

You don't want to be so short that women tower over you. After all, being short makes everyone assume you also have a tiny dick, and society has it that a too small penis is always to blame, and that there's no such thing as a too big vagina.

You also don't want to be so tall that you barely fit in anywhere, like on public transport. I'm about 180cm, and even I find public transport uncomfortable.

Believe it or not, this right here works. I was 5"8 when I was 18. At 19 I became fit enough to do athletics and sports, fucked up my legs bad mountainbiking and had to get surgery. I cooled off for a while just doing low impact stuff like dancing till I felt my legs could handle load again. After my full recovery a lot of people told me I looked taller, I checked it out and I did gain 3 inches.

Maybe it's just brocience, but I think breaking bones makes you be more careful, which in turn fixes your form. If you can recover correctly there might be some growing gains cause there was literally nothing else I do differently.

Hi guys today i want to share with you guys about my story for growing taller. i was so obsessed with growing taller.I searched online all over,but all i got were bull sh1t! it was just stretching all day long... even though that does make you grow like a cm after all the pain for pulling your legs for a year.That won't get me to 6'0 for Sh1t!And they even told you something like (your height is pre-determined by your gene from your parent and also exercise won't going to make you taller)It likes telling you're doomed!! you can't do anything it at all, just embrace it.I mean screwed that man... So I was 5'6 when i was 17, From 14 to 17 i only grew 4 cm, which means 1 cm annually.And i slept very late at night at around 3am. So i decided to change all of my bad habit, sleep before 11 pm,no masturbating(masturbating will cause your bone to fuse and mature faster),also I started Running and Touching Sky! i started running for 30 mins, and "Touching Sky" which is jump as high as possible, arm trying to reach something beyond your reach.(imagine like you are jumping up trying to touch the basketball backboard) jump 100-200 times a day(Jump with full force).I continute this exercise for entire 2 years every single day it was very rough,my leg and should hurts alot,But i grew 7 inches!!!!!!!like you just have to be consistent, it's not like you will grow 7 inches just overnight,it's the fact that you have to keep doing everyday!! Im currently 19 standing at 6'1, i'll push to 6'2. how does this works? So Running is most basic and effective exercise.Plus,it is a full body workout and it releases human growth hormone to boost your height,it just make your body fit overall.But the most important exercise is Jumping.Ever wonder why people who play basketball are usually taller?Because when you are jumping,the gravity is pulling your whole entire body down, so it is a natural stretch.

Life is not just a matter of chicks, dude; I'm not even worried on that front

The point is that if one is short he stays short in every aspect of his life: clothes look inevitably worse on him, people pay him less respect, he always has to struggle more than other people, and overall he just looks... ridiculous, no matter what
>>
>>37182599
The funny part is thatbi am tall with an average dick, and i have met many manlets who claim large dicks. I am a little selfxoncious about it because i also lift. I just kniw a girl will see me, then see it, and make fun of it. Fuck it, she has to deal with the little dick in order to get large powerful sons.
>>
>>37187763
If it isnt about chicks then what is it about? There is not one single thing that a tall man can do that a short man cannot. If you are in shape, then stuff like using a ladder will take little to no time extra. It is all in your head man. The asians are just fine, ans they are short as fuck.

MANLETS REJOICE
THIS IS YOUR CENTURY

A little over $4k. Recruits get paid while they train, but at a much lesser rate obviously.

And i'm 5'7, one of the shortest in my cohort for the males.
>>
I know this will come of badly cause I'm 6'3" but i mean it seriously: height only matters if you lack other things to make up for it. I was wageslaving at the movie theater last night and this guy came up to the concession stand with a very hot girl, at least 9/10 face with a lean body and decent booty. I thought he was her little brother at first, he was 5'4 or 5'5" at most while was a couple inches taller. He was teasing her and whatnot and you could tell they were a good couple. They left their movie later holding hands.

He may get cheated on eventually but I guess the point of my story is never say never, anyone can succeed with the proper skills and confidence.

That said, the majority of couples I see in the theater the guy is taller than the girl.

It is, but many people could probably add an extra half inch during puberty overall if they ate more, assuming they aren't already lardasses.

How is it called is 100% understandable if he/she isn't a native English speaker. Many languages ask how something is called instead of what it is called.

Literally everybody on this board that isn't at the very least 6ft are obsessed with their height. The most extreme seem to be either the extra short 5'4" (give or take 2 inches) because they know their height is a lost cause, or the 5'10"-5'11" guys because they're so close but so far so apparently they're not gonna make it because they're off 1-2 inches. Most of the people on here 6ft-6'6" seem fine with their height and don't really care about it, which makes the manlets even angrier. In some cases, you'll find some lanklet over 6'6" that's jelly of the manlets because it's so much easier for them to look better with less work, which only further pisses off the manlets. This board is just a bunch of faggots with napoleon complexes. I'm 6ft on the dot so I'm good, but I've been here regularly since I was about 18-19 (25 now) and I was hovering on 5'11". Even though I was (and still am) one of the tallest people I know, I wanted that extra inch just because I was so fucking close. I guess I'm one of the lucky few in that aspect, and I can get where those guys are coming from, but honestly I'd be fine by now whether I grew that inch or not because in the end there's really nothing you can do about it. I was just young, as I'm assuming are most on this site complaining about height.

Or I could be completely fucking wrong because this is my first time back on /fit/ in probably a year or so and I might not know what I'm talking about if this board changed much. I highly doubt it, though. This board barely changed at all when I was on every single day for 4-5 years.

You seem a bit misinformed. If you're already done growing, laying down/sleeping will NOT just magically make you grow. What happens is your body stretches out to full height since you have horizontal gravity instead of vertical gravity. With normal ~8hrs of sleep, you'll be stretched to your tallest every time you get up in the morning. There are 2 problems with this, though. 1 is that it's a few centimeters at most, so it's negligible. 2 is that after maybe 4-5 hours of being up and walking around, your spine with be compressed again and those few negligible centimeters you got from sleeping are literally nonexistent for the rest of the day.

If you haven't stopped growing yet, I guess it could be beneficial. I think eating and stretching help you grow to your full potential or close to it if you're still growing, but if not your height is just a lost cause that you can blame on genetics and hope your children don't suffer the same fate.

TL;DR
He's an autist who had a growth spurt from 17-19 and grew 7 inches and he thinks it's because he runs, stretches to "try and touch the sky", jumps around (apparently basketball players are all tall because they jump), and doesn't masturbate, since masturbating apparently fuses bones now. Bretty gud bate.

I can just imagine some retard running around and jumping trying to literally touch the sky because he thinks it makes him taller.

Most will probably pass over it but I'm sure there are a handful that will read it.

i am 6ft even now..i was 5ft 10 when i started...


the first thing i changed my the way i sit and stand , chest out more now... this didtn do muchexcept force my back muscles to work a bit.


Second i started to sleep on the floor with my back on the floor and 1 pillow, at first this was hurting my back but after a couple weeks it just kinda felt better.


and last one , i would do what are dips.. hold my body up using arms but instead of dipping i would extend my legs and try to wiggle my hips down... sounds retarded i know but this helped pressure on lower back...


ive been doing this for about 1 year, not daily but at least3 times a day....

i did pinch a nerve one time thoe....

>Still look like I'm 15, get carded constantly

If I can start growing facial hair, I'd say anybody can. As for height, I can't really say for sure. I've heard most (if not all) guys generally have 2 growth spurts in their life, some are lucky and get a 3rd. Be happy and embrace the baby face, though. We'll look good as hell when we're old. I've always wanted to be able to grow facial hair, but up until about 2-3 months ago, I only had to shave MAYBE once a week. It's slowly starting to grow faster/darker/thicker like I said and now I have to shave every other day. Still looks shitty, but at least I know it's starting and my facial hair isn't a lost cause and I'm just a late bloomer.

We're all gonna make it, bro. Just hang in there. Even if you don't get any taller, ~5'10" isn't the end of the world.

I had growth spurt at 21 from 5 ft 11 to 6ft 2.
Nothing much changed besides my manlet friends becoming excessively jealous around me.

General rule of thumb is most guys seem to stop growing between 18-21, with some oddballs continuing to grow until 25ish. I'm sure there are some who stop growing before 18, and some who continue to grow after 25, but generally that's not the case. I'd just go by age since it seems to be the easiest, but I guess you could measure yourself every day for a year after being awake and moving around for the same amount of time every day and if you notice any growth you're probably still growing. Or maybe you can even do once a week for a year. I'd say always do it at the same time though so you don't confuse a decompressed spine with growth. Like, wake up at 8am, measure at 5pm, repeat as necessary. Don't wake up at 8am and measure at 5pm one day, and then wake up at 8am and measure yourself by 9am the next. Consistency is key.

A lot of short guys just don't take care of themselves. As a short man, it's important that you be well-groomed and wear well-fitting clothes. Baggy clothes will make you look like a kid wearing hand-me-downs. Making the effort to be sociable will take you very far in dating and other parts of life.

Haha yeah, if you're not in the "under 5'10" club" you probably piss them off. Kinda sucks for the guys in 5'10"-5'11" limbo since they can't relate to anybody except those few in that 2 inch range. They get the "quit your bitching" from the manlets and "lel king of manlets" from anybody 6ft+.

>>37193065
I'm probably an alternate reality American version of you. No exams for me, just coming back to check the place out since I'm back to having basically no life again. I plan on going back to school eventually though, which will be weird starting off college at 25-26 with a bunch of 18-20 year olds. Better late than never though, r-right?
