MOM WHY GOD DAMMIT
i'm at the exact same position as you were
about 5ft7 and im [REDACTED]
parents are short too
this gives me hope user
But you threw up breakfast so you probably saved yourself
Just turned 18 and I'm 5 ft 8
What should I do lads? Most of the men in my family are tall...
I was 5'2 at age 17. Was completely resigned to being a manlet. Hit my puberty growth spurt incredibly late. Grew 11 inches in 8 months. Ended up 6'3" at 21. Taller than anyone in my entire family and damn thankful of it.
hahaha same happened to me
sometimes i wonder if swimming in your teenage years just magically makes you grow tall for some reason.
My cousin has been swimming her whole life too and she's the same height as me.
And both of us were one of the shortest kids in class.
>don't give up young manlets
Stopped reading right there
This is the dream. Some basketball players grew 8 inches after being 6' at 18. Meanwhile i have been stuck at 5'11 since i was 16 baka.

I think i can get an inch or two by fixing my posture. Plus another one by working back muscles. Being 6 ft by then will definitely improve my selfconscious brain.
¿Kill yourself?
If you swim competitively streamline helps you grow taller because youre extending your spine throughout the motion. I have no idea about recreationally
>T. UCLA swimmer
Yeah that makes sense!
I don't think i've ever swam "recreationally" ever either.
Same shit as high school/club

>tallest person in extended family is 6'5 cousin
>everyone else 5'11 tops
>be 18
>5'10
d-do I have a chance?
fixing posture gets you 1 inch AT MOST
>tfw 19 and 5'4 BUT look like a 16 year old
ANY CHANCE TO BECOME 5'10 LADS?
Kek, in the same exact spot as well, please give me height gains height god.
But all that 13yo pussy.

Apparently the ritalin itself does fuck all to stunt growth
Its side effects of nausea/ vomit which puts growing kids at caloric deficit is the one that usually does the stunting
>17
>manlet
How the fuck can you be a manlet when you aren’t even a man yet? If anything you’d have been a manlet in training.
holy shit i was 16-17 when i started going on fit and now i'm 20 and there are people claiming to be 17 and 18 why is this happening go back
beat it gramps you can't hang with us young kats anymore
t.18

How tall are your parents?
Man you gotta see my spine lmoa
>been browsing taiwanese bodyboarding symposiums since 2007
Man, i'm fucking old.
I've been 5'8 since I was 17.
I turn 21 in 2 weeks. its over for me
It's probably because swimming is a form of HIIT if you do it in intense bursts, and HIIT has been proven to increase growth hormone by a lot.
