natural height growth at the age of 22, male

Edit Post

Hello there!

I am a newbie here. I just want to ask you something. Last time I noticed I am not very high, 171 cm at evening, I am nearly 22 years old, male. Is there any  possibilties to gain, lets say: 3-4 cm in height in a natural  way. By saying natural I mean obviosuly no surgery involved , just proper diet, stretching exercises (for example cycling),lsjl, medic (glucosamina etc.)?
What do you guys think?
Other think I want to ask you is degarding my height. Do you think that 171 cm is really short for a male in Europe?

Thank you for your response.

So what is the maximum height growth to be expected?
I can  honestly say that in the morning I am legit 173 cm high, so maybe by proper training with taking glucosamine etc. I could make my morning height mantain longer. The other positive fact is that we grow until 25 age, I mean in the age of 22-25 we are still growing in torso. About legs, there is scientifically proven that LSJL (Lateral Synovial Joint Loading) method can make our legs longer by even few centimeters.
Hope is the last to die!

Nah, I am rather ambitious, and I don't like things I can't affect. Tha gain in height due to stretching and taking glucosamine is suppossed not to be temporal, as it is said.

What's your height considering yourself unhappy about that?

ya, but the question is that anybody checked in on his own? Did you? I am interested in LSJL practice. Anybody managed to grow using LSJL technique?

nah, how do you know this?

Do you think so? 2cm is very optimistic, but It is said that we grow nearly until the age of 25. Stretching torso just may speed up this process.
For me it is big difference between 171 and 175. Maybe form other people perpective it is not, but I think 175 is not considered as short, just average.

I don't think so. There are many factors that determine our final height, for example genetic, environment, nutrition, activity. 100 years ago people were shorter, why? Cause genetic? No, it is nearly the same all the time and the difference reach up to over 10 cm

If somebody is tall this doesn't automatically mean that he couldn't be even taller. There were always high people everywhere, even 200 years ago, but we can't conlude by 1 person the average height.. which for sure had increased a lot by the recent years. It's just a fact.

After communism overall height jumped, because it affected a lot of people in a short period of time. It is obvious. After communism overall height just averaged by all the people in the country, and no doubt there are local fluctuations on plus and minus, but the final effect is just zero.
