I'm 18 y/o right now, I got 3 cm taller in 2 years ( was 1,75m @ 16 ...now 1,78).
Except sleeping 8h/night and getting all my vitamins, is there an other way to promote growth? ( Getting taller)
tl;dr : Is there any tricks to get taller.
Genetic aint a problem , both of my grand-pa were tall , my dad is over 6', my brother is over 6' and my other brother is 5'11.5 ( both of my brother were tall @ 16)
hey there. You will probably grow much taller....I'm jealous that you are young enough to still have that ability. I am too old now to grow any taller and I'm shorter than you. Be happy that you are 5'8.5 and growing. The best thing you can do is the following:
Hanging from a bar for 10-15 minutes a day and letting your lower spine drop. Do this in the morning and before bed if possible.
Using an inversion table for 10-15 minutes a day (also morning and night if possible)
take approx 10g arginine + ornithine before bed every night
make sure you eat plenty of meat and dairy products every day (at least 3 servings of meat and 3 servings of dairy - as well as all your fruits and veggies)
if you are a real psycho about your height you can see a doctor to prescribe you growth hormone injections (very expensive and difficult to get when you are already 5'8.5 lol)
enjoy!
