If he lives in a pretty developed country, but severely depressed, extremely sleep deprived (0-2hours a night) and eat tons of carbs without vitamins and proteins since 5th grade?

How did you come up with this arbitrary number? 3cm would make a great difference to me, not a totally different world, but a GREAT difference.
Quote from: onemorefoot on November 12, 2017, 07:24:23 AMDid you know if you had symptoms of malnutrition? Also, are you sure that your average sleeping time were 2 hours? Those are factors that could stunt you growth rate by a good amount of cm, but you have to know if you are not exaggerating. Severe malnutrition is what I am asking for.
I'm positive of the sleep thing.
I didn't malnutrition, but I used to eat mostly a lot of rice and little chicken or egg because I thought it was cheap. and my mother used to teach the habit of not eating the chickens/fish too many because other family members also wanted to eat.
That's why it became a habit that I preferred to eat rice more eventhough my family was far from being financially challenged. I didn't realize I was fking myself up. So didn't I when I decided to sleep 2 hours a night. Sometimes I didn't sleep at all and went to school directly.
I had sleeping problem, I was under too much pressure during my school time which made me prefer to be awake at night so because my subsconcious knew that if I slept right away, I'd be facing the morning directly.

Height is 80% genetic but not in the sense that 80% of your height is genetic, but that 80% of the deviation from what your prospective height was supposed to be is due to genetics.
Let's say that according to the formula your height was supposed to be 180cm. That means that 80% of the 12cm difference between your 168cm and 180cm is due to genetics while 20% is due to lifesyle and such... So 0.2X12=2.4 which means that 2.4cm out of the 12cm is due to lifestyle.
In genetic linkeage studies using SNPs scientists were able to pinpoint participants height accurately (by a margine error of 0-3cm of difference from what they expected).
You can believe in science or you can believe mrhandsome
Okay, how do you explain my 5'11" friend, with a 5'6.5" father and a 4'11" mother.

And also, 3cm does not make any real difference to any mentally stable person.
Even if you were 3cm taller you would still be considered short and would have problem with your height.
Only if you were 5.9 and above (6-7cm more than you are) you could say you would see a real difference. 3cm are just a joke.
This kind of mentality is fked up and can go forever. Every inch counts. It makes a good difference, another 3cm and my height starts with 17... cm whereas now it starts with 16... With lifts, I'd be 5'9" if I was 5'7".
If I was 3cm shorter, then I'd be much more fked. I'd be officially below average than the average white female of 5'5".
Quote from: TIBIKE200 on November 12, 2017, 09:27:05 AMI already explained it.. Genetics.
He was supposed to be 165cm but became 180? 3cm of those 15cm difference are due to enviroment and the other 12cm are due to genetics. What I said doesn't contradicts it
So this dude got 15cm difference from 169cm father and 150 moher. Damn, I will never understand how this works.

So 3 cm are just a joke, but spending 100k and getting semi-crippled to gain 5cm is not. You're SO mentally stable, Body Builder.
Quote from: myloginacct on November 16, 2017, 12:10:31 AMExtreme stress can severely stunt one's growth, temporarily, until said person is removed from the stressing environment. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosocial_short_stature
As for nutrition and lifestyle, I agree with everyone else. It's a small difference, at most - at least between these two last, well fed generations.
Well, I wasn't removed from the stressing environment until my growth plates were officially closed.
Quote from: FDR101 on November 21, 2017, 09:50:12 AMDude PSS is a condition observed in Feral children, who literally grow up with wolves and monkeys outside any human civilization. Or in the cases of wartime / captivity.
No human grows up in a perfect environment with zero stress. 99.999% chance is that you lived up to your genetic potential and just weren’t meant to be taller. A lot of boys grow up to be shorter than their father.
I grew up with animals, figuratively. What I can assure you that the amount of stress I had was much higher than the average kids and teens have.
Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on November 23, 2017, 12:46:07 PMIt's very likely that you would have turned out, 6 foot 3, broad shouldered and with a pretty large penis and blue eyes, given the proper nutrition, no stress and lots of sleep, during your most crucial development period.
I am pretty broad shouldered for my height and anyone can do shoulder excercises.
I don't need blue eyes.
