I hit puberty a little later (at least the growth spurt portion) since I had a period in my life where being all depressed and shut-in my house meant I barely ate, no exercise, but did sleep a lot (not at night though) so if I am to be growing till 20 then that would be great!.. If it wasn't the fact I literally haven't changed 1cm in the past 6 months with daily stretching, hanging, HIT exercise, l-arginine/l-citrulline, high protein and calcium diet, blah blah blah.
My main growth spurt was 16-17, at which then maybe I grew an inch afterwards but right now I'm 18 nearing 19 in 2 months and I haven't changed at all (comparing myself to my fridge which is a pretty good constant to compare my height to imo).
Really wish I did everything I was doing back during my growing stages and I'd be more proportionate + taller. Although I guess if I am to think positively I'm taller than my brother who was measured incorrectly at the doctors (because I'm taller than him by a fair margin; but the doctors said his height is 0.5cm shorter than mine.. when he's on his toes sure. He doesn't care about his height much at all though especially compared to me. Wish I had that mindset.)
Quote from: CaptainAmerica on November 15, 2018, 12:14:55 AMThere are two schools of thought on when growth ends in males: 1) You stop growing mostly at 16, and only grow an inch at most afterwards. (This is what CDC data shows). 2) The age of 16 is very young, males grow and mature well into their early 20's.
not really, this does not depend on your actual age,
When you do the examinations, they check your bone age, the limit of the long bones like femur, tibia / fibula and umero, ulna / radius end in the age of bone of 18 years and of the smaller bones as the vertebras of the column are 23years some cases 26 years that is when you have a last small growth.
but age bone does not mean actual age, you can be 14 years of age and bone age of 18 years,
in my case I reached my bone age of 18 years at the age of 21 with and was 1.76m and until the age of 23 years reached 1.78m.
it depends a lot on your hormonal levels the sooner you enter puberty the sooner you will grow, the more hormones you have the earlier you reach your bone age limit.
