Men, how much did you grow after 19?
Scroll to see replies
Another reasonably short person here. I'm 18 years old and am 5'7. Is there still a possibility of me growing more? I don't smoke, drink etc. I go to the gym regularly and use good form making sure I don't damage my growth plates. A thing I would like to point out is that both of my parents are small (only slightly shorter than me, I'd say around 5'6), however, my mothers dad and her brothers are all about 6 feet tall whereas my dads side are again around my height. Do you think I have potential to grow more considering both sides of my parents? Thanks!

I'm 17 and about 5,5/5,6
Feel like I won't ever grow..
Is 21 the age males stop growing?
At least 5,8 is what I want. That's a tall order.

You look skinny in your pic and since you're 17 your growth plates probably haven't fused yet. So I advise eating more. Good nutrition will help with growth and like ZRO said 5ft 8 seems likely.

Did any guys here grow much after 19? I would love a few more inches, but at 19 I'm not sure anymore. I guess I'm looking for some hope...
Feel like a manlet even though I'm 6'.

My brother's 22 and is still growing. He's like 6 ft 4.5, a year ago he was like an inch shorter. It's crazy man.

Haha I think he's just a freak of nature
And he makes me feel like a complete midget at 5'7..

Mate told me if dips hurt (or at least cause a not comfortable sort of feeling) your sternum then you've got a good chance of still growing. I choose to believe it's BS cause I've stopped getting it now.
It does sound a bit brosciencey tbh. You stopped getting the sternum pains? How old are you? Have you stopped growing?

And he makes me feel like a complete midget at 5'7.. 5ft 7 is a good height for a girl. How tall are your parents?

My mum is like 5 ft 6 and my dad was only about 6 ft or so.

Seriously though, 6'0" is pretty good. Average height is 5'9" and the standard deviation is 3", placing you 1 standard deviation above normal. 2/3 of men are 5'10" +/- 3". About 1/6 are on each side, so 1/6 of men are taller than 6'0" and 1/6 are taller than 6'0". Being at 6'0" means that you're taller than (or the same height as) 5/6 of the population. That's not too bad, dude. A lot of people would kill to be your height. Source.
Stay away from the misc and /fit/ if you're susceptible to body image issues, they're only going to take an existing problem and multiply it hundredfold.

When i was 17 i was still 165cm, 3 years later in 175-77cm. If you parent a tall or decent height don't worry.
I'm 18 and 5ft 8 ... Is it possible for me to reach 6ft ... My younger brother is 5ft11 and my dad is 6ft1 ... However my mum is only 5ft 4

Probably is yet reading the wiki article on it makes sternum fusing (right word?) makes it sounds vaguely plausible as an indicator
Yeah, in the last few months. Not sure when exactly, not long enough to really know if I've stopped growing since if I am then it's at a really slow rate. I'm 22, few months from 23. Grew 1.5 inch since 19 but hadn't grown since I was 12 before that.

It would be nice if it was. I still get sternum pains when doing dips :/

If it makes you feel better, you can just lie to girls and say you're 6'2" or something and they'll believe you. You're definitely lucky. 6'0"-6'4" is perfection, I would say.
Although there is this which suggests that 5'9"-5'11" is optimal for being attractive to women, and that men both taller and shorter than this are seen as being less attractive.

dips screw me over too. don't bother with them, you can really mess yourself up. Lying triceps extensions (rippetoe style) and pushdowns or closegrip bench are all you need.
