I just measured my wingspan again. It is of just 62.5 inches long...
Wingspan: 159 cm (62.5-63)
Total height: 154.5 cm (60.9-61)
Do you think I will grow a bit more? Whats the average wingspan to total height ratio?
Quote from: Outgrown on January 31, 2015, 10:15:13 PMThere were these twins at my high school - one has a daily dosage of video game while the other has his intake on day-to-day chaotic training. The athletic one is 6 inches taller and is still growing.
There's minimal evidence for such things, but a friend of mine who started puberty when he was eight lifted intensely the month after he began puberty, and he peaked at 6"2, the tallest in his family. He was a committed athlete and trains every single day.
Whenever I'm in the weight rooms, I always see dads giving their little children 15+ pounds of weights along with some mad protein, but years later, they shoot up like any normal person would during adolescence. It's a fascinating sight, but I can assure that it's genetics that play that role.
It does seems that the majority of the athletes end up reaching their max. height potential. It is indeed a fact, my younger brother who is 15 is already around my dad's height and still growing I guess. However, he was the athletic one while I was the freaky one playing videogames 24/7, oh and I was an early bloomer. It is still surprising though how some of those asocial and unathletic guys end up being tall regardless of not having a healthy childhood.
There are as well some athletes who unfortunately end up being average height or under the average, even when their parents are over the average. There is this half-white half-hispanic guy who is just 5'5" and his white father is like 6'0" feet, and the guy is a wrestler and used to be in the football team. He even looks like his father, probably the only mexican thing he got was his mother height, hah. No jokes since that is probably the same that happened to me.
