Growth

[whatdude]

I thought I was 6'0'' the entire time, turns out I'm only 5'10'' ... im fvcking shocked and pissed at the same time.

Are there any techniques to get taller?

I heard lifting makes you shorter.

 

[theory of knowledge]

how old are you? if you are under 25, you should still have some length left

look for a book called "growing taller secrets"

anyways, the general trend is to eat plenty, sleep in good posture, stand up tall, to stretches every morning evening, jumping excercises etc etc

5'10 should be fine, i'm 5'8, and i am perfectly happy about it...plenty of homeless people out in the streets over 6' tall, put that energy on something productive instead.

Eat right, sleep right and hope for the best.

If that fails, just pretend you are 6ft. It's all in the mind anyway, it's how you carry yourself.

I'm 5ft8 and stand at 7ft tall, so i aint gonna cry you a river.

what do you mean with "i'm 5ft 8 and stand at 7ft tall"?

I guess he means he is 5'8" and it doesn't bother him, so even if he was 7ft it wouldn't make any difference.

I heard lifting makes you shorter.

It doesn't make you shrink, it just prevents you growing as much as you could have.

Lifting does not stunt your growth. It's an old wives tale that has been disproved a thousand times over and discussed on this forum a thousand times more.

If you measure yourself in the morning that will add 1/2" - 1" to your height.

Perhaps because of the blurred vision w/o glasses/contacts
