my dad grew until he was 24...but not tons, just fractions of an inch.
 
men dont stop growing until around 25 - 27 but it slows down after 18 or so. you can look liek your taller by loading your axial skeleton and working your back. that way youll have better postur and stronger bone structure

you might also want to look into orthopedic shoes and spine adjustments sometimes a bent spine or fallen arches make you shorter because of bad postur
 
xs1, I am afraid that your genes have gotten the better of you. You may out grow your pops by the time you turn 25-27, but I wouldn't expect much more beyond that. Just work on the things you can change...overall fitness and posture.

I wouldn't worry about it too much... Everyone has genetic issues...I got my dad's hair line at 24...nice. I did what I could and went clean :D

Just remember one thing...Prince is 5'2" and he is one Bad Mofo :D
 
the reason is no girlz look @ me not that iam ugly but iam short :(......but will pull-ups & push-ups will get good body posture ?
 
Short is sexy!!! Pilates and more so yoga are actually supposed to stretch the spine to make you maybe an inch taller if you are lucky and do it always... These excersizes improve your posture making you look taller, i'm 5'0 and people always think I'm taller. But other then that unless you grow you are probably screwed, but short is sexy :D
 
im not the happiest person w/my height! and my dad was bald @ 20!! so i've got nothing to look foward to.. anyways, being short isnt always bad, if you work out & gain muscle, you look that much bigger because of your height to width ratio lol, it sounds funny but its true!
 
im sorry to say this xs1, but i disagree with much of the above, and i would call it unlikely that you will grow any taller. men CAN grow into their mid 20's but it doesnt happen often.

but this doesnt have to be something that is looked at as negative. you have a biomechanical advantage in the weight room.

besides, i go to school with a guy who is 20, and 5'3 on a good day. i kid you not, he gets as many chicks as anyone i know.
 
im not saying hell grow freddy im saying hell look taller with better posture.

pound for pound smaller people are stronger than bigger people - faster too so dont feel bad about it. unless your 4 foot 1 your fine lol
 
It’s all hereditary you have no control over you height. Its all predetermined before you were born

Make sure you don’t invest in any “growth” pills because they won’t do anything for you. The only thing that could of saved you is if you were able to change your genes before you were born but we all know that’s not possible
 
I heard playing basketball helps people grow... And I have seen results on some friends of mine that got huge playing basketball, but I dont really know, Im not an expert. ;) Good luck with the growing thing :)

if women won't look at you because you're 5'4", then those women aren't worth your time.

There ya go brutha, that pretty much sums it up.

I know many short guys who used to get girls all the time (way more than me, but I was overweight :D) If they're too shallow to look past your height, then you don't need them.
 
i dont think id recommend it, but its pretty interesting. saw it in popular science a few months ago. thought id give it a search. this is what i found
 
late growth

I thought I stopped growing at age 22 but then I start researching a lot on after puberty height gain there are actually a lot of exercises and technique that can be used to gain extra inch or two, check this website it has tons of information on this subject hope you will have luck with it

A.S.
 
Interesting...I've actually remember hearing Micheal Jordan talk about hanging on the pull-up bars as a little kid to out grow his older brother. (of course, his genitics played more of a roll than the pullup bar) But, it is true that he talked about the pull-up bar.
 
Has anyone heard about Height Max? It seems pretty legit. With commercials etc. I just wanted to know if anyone has heard much about it?

Austin thanks for that link I might try a few of those.

Height Max is an herbal/multivitamin formula. It's difficult to gauge whether or not it works as they say mainly because all the testimonials are coming from growing kids - who may have grown to that height without the formula anyway. Can't be bad for you though.

Oh yeah, and having commercials doesn't make something legit ;)
 
Well yea I know I know. I was just kinda ya know using that as an example because ya see so many products and then you go to their site and they have this crappy HTML design that they got their 12 year old computer son to do and their products are rare and stuff you know. Obvious signs that the product might be faulty.
