There’s a false myth going around that you can grow until 25.

I’m going to debunk this using scientific articles.

Some height maxxing copers will use this study to falsely tell you growth can happen after 21.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6638938/

This is debunked by this study, showing that your out of hundreds of people, 0 had their growth plates by age 21. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7983983/

In fact growing after 21 is so rare, there’s an article on wikia showcasing height growth past 21 to be very rare to the point there’s barely any famous cases.

Growth in height after 22 is easily 1 in 1000 level rare

>>16710873 (OP)
Spine compression/decompression results in an average of 1 to 2 cm difference in height between getting out of bed in the morning and going back to it at the end of the day. If a study doesn't control for this by measuring people who have been out of bed for the exact same amount of time, you can throw it into the trash.

I "grew" two inches (≈5 cm) in my 30s. Mostly did deadhangs and my posture improved from stretching out my neck and lats

>>16710973
>my posture improved from stretching out my neck and lats

So you stood up straight and was taller. Fascinating!

>>16711153
My posture wasn't bad by choice. It's not the same as just standing erect.

I grew 3 inches between the ages 30 and 35. Not sure when exactly it happened, but for a time I was taking l-arginine at bedtime, which supposedly stimulates human growth hormone.

>>16710873 (OP)
you can grow in your 30s which means the age of consent should be 35

>>16711317
That’s not medically possible dumbass

Bump 1

>>16711742
>bro i took this pill and my completely ossified bones turned to growing tissue for a bit and then went right back

Theres some research going on to use stem cells to reopen growth plates, right?

I wonder what are going to be the social results if it works out lmao

>>16710873 (OP)
>What age do you finish growing?
On her 3*7 = 21st birthday,
a female becomes a young woman.
On his 3*8 = 24th birthday,
a male becomes a young man.
The temporal boundary between minors and adults is dependent on gender.

>>16711742
I can't explain it. I wasn't trying to grow taller, it just sort of happened. I can't even say pills did a damn thing. Maybe I'm just a late bloomer. The 5 year range is because I never even noticed it till someone mentioned I was now taller than them. I mean after a certain age you don't expect to keep growing, so why measure your height at all, right?

>>16712737
These are lies, if you actually kept growing in your 30s the doctors would be alarmed. You’d likely have gigantism or marfans because that’s again not medically possible
>>16712175
Cant believe these copers still appear even on /Sci/

>>16712331
Wrong it’s 16 for woman, 18 for men. This sounds like agecucked nonsense.

>>16710873 (OP)
Agreed

>>16710873 (OP)
Any man who is looking for a woman and who isn't at least 183cm is cooked in today's dating market, might as well turn to fucking femboys or become one yourself

>>16713942
Only chronically online retards thinm this way. Most women can’t tell the difference between 5’10 and 6’0 stfu lol

>>16714480
Calm down little guy

>>16714498
I’m likely taller than you

>>16713942
i'm 164 cm, and i guarantee you i've slept with more women than you. honestly i don't even remember. my body count is definitely over 50.

>>16710937

On that note, if anyone knows, does exercising with heavy weights, let's say 30 min after waking up have any negative health impacts on the spine or skeleton? Or doing exercise in general?

>>16715160
No, why would it

>>16710873 (OP)
Did anyone try the vitruvian Russian guy height gain method? I have seen some people saying it worked but there's not that much information around.

>>16715609
It seems like cope

>>16710873 (OP)
Good thread

Agreed

>What age do you finish growing?
13. In height that is.

>>16718831
Not 13

Yes

>>16710873 (OP)
Great

>>16710873 (OP)
High is thread

>>16710873 (OP)
I literally grew an inch like a year ago and I'm 26.

>>16723235
This is a science board btw and growing that late is about a 1 in a million case.

You’re a liar and unless you can provide medical evidence ( you can simply just show the age and evidence of height growth that late while blurring out sensitive info) why should I take you seriously?

>>16723259
I think you're just deranged and pulling statistics out of your butt.

>>16723263
I gave studies proving height growth after 20 is extremely rare. You’re a liar and clearly reject science you should be banned

>>16723293
>extremely rare
>admitting it happens
>someone says it happened to them
>seethe uncontrollably
what is it about these IFLS tardies who post evidence showing something happens, and then call someone anti-science when they're a case study of the thing that can happen happened to them per their own scientific source? you need to be banned from life.

>>16723478
I gave no evidence showing it was possible to grow until 26, retard.

The entire thread is growing after 21 is extremely rare. In fact Ralph macchio is the only confirmed case of growth where he kept growing until 25.


Ralph Macchio clearly didn’t even touch puberty until the age of 19/20. You can see in karate kid at the age of 22/23 he looked like a 14 year old.

Unless you started puberty that fucking late why should I believe someone grew up until 26 without any evidence. You idiot

True

>>16712175
don't your bones basically do that all the time

>>16713257
>Wrong it's 16 for wom[e]n, 18 for men.
No, you're wrong, because
16/18 ≠ 7/8,
16-year-old females aren't women yet, and
18-year-old males aren't men yet.
Here's what you should have written:
On her 2*7 = 14th birthday, a female finishes puberty.
On his 2*8 = 16th birthday, a male finishes puberty.
>This sounds like agecucked nonsense.
What you wrote is also "age[-]cucked", because 16 ≠ 18.
You probably think,
that 16-year-old females
and 18-year-old males
are old enough to be drafted.
Fight your own battles and wars.

Anyone born under 6' tall is a loser manlet yes.

>>16725576
*6’w

>>16725576
*6’2 I meant.

I stopped growing when I was about 14, but at the time I was prediabetic which I suspect stunted my overall height. It was, of course, caused by a highly sedentary teen lifestyle which took me a while to reverse with exercise. Crazy I would have probably never found out had I not went to the hospital for something unrelated and learned my blood sugar was 100 after about 20 hours of fasting.

Regardless, I'm sure it's not unreasonable for some guys to get stunted for some reason or another in adolescence and have a late growth spurt. I didn't grow in my 20s, but realistically that's probably just height you would have gotten anyways. I would assume some guys grow in their 20s regardless of nutrition/health, but that would be much rarer.

>>16726353
It’s primarily genetic

>>16724341
not in an organized way that would add length, it's just tiny clusters of bone tissue spread randomly around the bone getting remodeled of occasionally

I reached 6'3" at age 12 and stopped there. My facial maturation lagged behind for a few years, so I was all mismatched for a while.

>>16727510
damn

True

Truth bomb

>>16727421
Muh genetic. 90% of studies of genetics are made retards who wants to feel special or are jew founded studies. With the right condition 99% of males should become 6.5 chads.

>cope is unreal, may as well accept it

Most people nowadays just find anything to try and justify their beliefs. Literal confirmation bias

>>16710873 (OP)
People occasionally have spontaneous growth spurts in their thirties.

>>16727421
Unscientific. Genes are just instructions. Instructions for what? If you can't explain the mechanism by which a particular gene or set of genes causes variability in growth, you're engaging in as mch fantastic thinking as your average conspiracy theorist (which doesn't mean that you're necessarily wrong, you just have no proof).

>>16732539
No this is impossible and you just made this up. There is 0 case of this ever happening
NATURALLY

growth disorders, diseases, etc do not count. Height growth is only occurring during puberty and maybe slightly after.
>>16732543
Well First world countries have enough access to nutrition and your height growth is very unlikely to be stunted.

BUT

As an underweight person though I do think Epigenetics can happen where underweight people cannot reach their full height. I do notice sometimes that some underweight small framed girls can be shorter than their mother. However me being underweight and most other guys I knew who are underweight surpassed their dad in height.


So being underweight may not really stunt height as much as others think. Especially since most of us just generally have smaller frames in general implying we were meant to be skinny
