anyone know any methods? i'm 5'8", 22 years old, and haven't grown a cm in at least 7 years. things i've heard about are: human growth hormone, pilates, drinking lots of hormone treated milk, etc. i have looked on google, but it only turns up sales gimmicks. i am all ears.
 
sorry to break it to you buddy, but you are done growing, you will be 5'8" to your dying day...unless of course you shrink in old age

I'm 5'6". The only problem I have with my height is hearing beatches tell me they think I'm hot, but too short for them.

Your only alternative right now is a Russian surgical procedure, the one show in Gattica. It actually exists. Basically the long bones in your legs are surgically cut in several places. Over a long period of time ( i.e. 6 months to a year ), braces on your legs are slowly lengthended. The bone keeps breaking and healing, lengthing to compensate for how it si being seperated. Yes this is about as extreme as you can get.
 
Growth hormone only works before closure of your growth plates. And, at 22, that has already happened my friend. Sorry. GH at this point will only cause acromegaly.

My brother is 5'9, my father is 5'10

You never know, Look at basketball player David robinson and his growth spurt in college. He had a big fight with the airforce about going pro and part of his argument was that now after colllege he was too tall to fit in the cockpit. He grew alot, several inches. But most likely thats it for ya.

Yup the leg breaking and healing thing is the only thing out there, but its mainly for midgets.. Of course if its done in Russia its prolly purty darn cheap.

Wonder what Robinson was taking, supplement wise or other.
 
How could shoe lifts work properly? if u put a 1" block in your shoe, your heal would raise out of the back of the shoe as u walk, correct???
 
Pilates?!

WTF is that about? I think I recall an old BB book saying that if you did a lot of work on your lats you could gain an inch in height.

I also heard of that Russian bone-breaking technique - but I think 5'8 1/2" is fine with me.

Later,

Wow, in that context, Pilates sounds a lot more appealing than usual. :P

Bluesman

is the idea that they get dense to the point of straightening you up?
 
I didnt even know there was such a thing as those lifts!
Im a shortie,
I know I cant grow anymore but what I do is take calcium so I dont shrink, lol.
and I do pilates to help me stand taller and straighter.

Dude, he went to the Naval Academy, why do you think they call him the Admiral. He was going to ride subs, but the height limit is 6' 7", and he grew to 6' 11"
 
ya man you are out of luck... you cant get taller so just get bigger..
