inversiontable

Edit Post

so I got an inversion table... do I get taller temporarily? did anyone try? I just want temp height until my LL..

Edit Post

I did that and gained a quarter of inch( it is not permanent, gravity is a motherfker), but It caused me back pain.

what was your routine ? was it morning or evening height? or both? also, temporarily meaning the height lasts a few hours? or do you mean, it lasts for awhile (like weeks) after you stop the inversion therapy?

Edit Post

I did it AT night, because there body is more flexible. It  increases height temporarily...but then when you return to a weight bearing position (ie standing) for a period of time, your intervertebral discs will again lose some degree of hydration and you will be back to normal height.If you want to boost height even somoe few mm, better take glucosamine.Inversio tables causes back problems in a long term.

I am already taking glucosamine.
So you do especially every night?
I am thinking to do morning and night.
I already feel taller now! =D but measurements seem normal.
I am also taking glucosamine and doing LIPUS.

Yeah I don't know boys it's a bit of myth. I've been doing for a while and I have to admit it a done nothing for me. I think the only way to gain permanent height is through the procedure!

Does it even give you temporary height? I managed to get some temporary height I think (1 cm??) through this, yoga and the dynamic height increase stretches.

Inversion table, Glucosamine, and whatever else, will only help you keep height you already have.

So for me, I am 5'8 if I deadlift, watch my posture, and stretch. (all of which I would do anyway)

I am closer to 5'7 if I squat heavy, or get lazy with my posture.

I used an inversion table when I had Sciatica from a car wreck. Don't go beyond a 60 degree tilt, and no more than 30-60 seconds at a time, could hurt your back otherwise.

Should I avoid deadlifts? seems bad for your spine in the long-run when you get older... might shorten it?? I don't know, ha

If your're old enough for your growth plates to be closed, then you should deadlift.

Deadlift improves posture, and is one of the most beneficial compound lifts there is.

I recommend the hex bar deadlift, as opposed to the straight bar. (easier on the back, works quads more)

Edit: Hex bar deadlift seems like it might be a good squat alternative for guy's that are post LL, but just guessing.
