O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I measured myself today. And I am now somewhere between 5'7.5-5.8. The back of my head is like 5'7.75 I had a conversation last night with an old friend and I told her that I have been eating a lot of food for the last month because I have been very hungry and getting stronger in the gym faster. I didn't have an explanation for it but she told me that I could be in the middle of one last growth spurt. fyi My dad had a 2 inch growth spurt sometime in his 20's and went from 5'8 to 5'10. I guess I can thank him for my genetics:D Hope to be 5'9 to 5'10 here. Anyone know if these early 20's growth spurts are like the teenage growth spurts or if im going to be lucky to get a a full inch from it?
CptObvious Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I was 6"3 and then I tom cruise'd my way to 6"6. Oh, and since this is the internet I'm allowed to add another 3" to my height, so I'm currently 6"9. **** yeah science! 2

Oh, and since this is the internet I'm allowed to add another 3" to my height, so I'm currently 6"9. **** yeah science! Be honest. When did you have this growth spurt and how many inches was it. When did you stop growing? If I can be 5'10 like my dad I will be the happiest guy in the world.

If I can be 5'10 like my dad I will be the happiest guy in the world. I'm still growing. I'm 21 now, and since my 18th birthday I've grown a little over an inch.
Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 I didn't stop growing until I was 22. So you're not a girl?
SmileFace Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 So you're not a girl? Well only guys have growth spurts.
Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Well only guys have growth spurts. Most girls stop growing at like 14. I would expect someone who is still growing in their 20's to be a guy.
CptObvious Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 If I can be 5'10 like my dad I will be the happiest guy in the world. LOL kid it's not gonna change your life, so don't get your hopes up. Your batting average might go up a few points, but that's about it.
Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 LOL kid it's not gonna change your life, so don't get your hopes up. Your batting average might go up a few points, but that's about it. I can name a few ways. I have always wanted to dunk a basketball. I have something like a 36 inch running jump. Still can not actually get the ball in the hoop at my height. If I was 5'10 I would do it easily. Batting average would go up. I would be taller. Here are three ways in which my life would improve. And if you subscribe to the theory that for some reason taller men make more than shorter men, there is a fourth, even though I don't understand the correlation.
mesmerized Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Most girls stop growing at like 14. I would expect someone who is still growing in their 20's to be a guy. I actually grew in my late teens/early twenties. I don't know where you're getting your scientific facts from!!! 1
Eclypse Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Sadly I reached my full height at 14 although that height was 5'11 so I guess I can't complain too much. 1

Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Did you go to public school? Are you American? Yessir. I guess that has to do with it lol.
SmileFace Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Yessir. I guess that has to do with it lol. No, for the sake of our generation no.
CptObvious Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 just wear 3 inch invisible heels for men. aka the tom cruise growth spurt.
somedude81 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 You are unlucky. I stopped growing at 5'6 when I was around 15-16 years old. Or maybe I'm just unlucky. Who knows.
Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 You are unlucky. I stopped growing at 5'6 when I was around 15-16 years old. Or maybe I'm just unlucky. Who knows. I was 5'6 when I was 15. 5'7 from 17 to 22. Now I am almost 5'8.
nessaaa Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Lucky. I stopped growing in grade 6 ;( Don't guys stop growing at 25?
Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Lucky. I stopped growing in grade 6 ;( Don't guys stop growing at 25? Rarely. A lot stop at 18-20 ish. Some people(like me) grow again but I am willing to bet that this will last as long as a typical growth spurt. This means I will come out of it before 24.

somedude81 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 BTW, I meant to say you are lucky and that I am unlucky. I would have paid several thousand dollars to have another growth spurt in my 20's.
Author O'farrell Posted October 1, 2012 Author Posted October 1, 2012 Kewl hopefully u will grow into your ears then I lol'd:laugh: You know you like them:p
FitChick Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 I am unlucky. I would have paid several thousand dollars to have another growth spurt in my 20's. You can. This guy did it.
