Quote from: aplane on April 21, 2017, 10:31:31 AMI developed anorexia after having my jaw wired for several months and lost around 50 lbs during that time. While I don't think it was beneficial to my growth, I think other factors probably contributed to not reaching my maximum height potential. Like chronic masturbation during puberty. Doctors general agree that 60-80% of height is hereditary, meaning the remainder comes from environmental and behavioral factors.
Not to be too graphic here, but I hit puberty at 11 and would masturbate to orgasm 10-15 times a day, 5 days a week (and a few times on the weekend). It was all done in about half an hour after school. I've read on various places that flooding your body with dopamine decreases the amount of receptors available for testosterone, mixed with the lower overall testosterone output resulted from orgasm. Lack of energy and loss of motivation are also supposed to be correlated, meaning I didn't get much exercise. That went on from 11-18.
I'm 30 now. Way too late for me to take testosterone, as it is with OP. We won't get anything from that.
HGH, however, is entirely different. When taken in high doses, it increases growth throughout the entire body as well as bone thickness and density. Your forehead and jaw will become more prominent, the cartilage in your joints will swell, and your organs will enlarge. Acromegaly is what happens to people with excessive HGH output whose growth plates have closed, so its effects are well-known in people like Tony Robbins (6'7") and Maurice Tillet (5'7"). Here's an acromegalic man who is average height but has a massive frame. I do think HGH should help with bone and soft tissue regeneration during LL, and you can get Humatrope and Omnitrope for next to nothing if your blood tests show a deficiency.
I am 22 though and honestly I think testosterone can make a difference in my growth.
