im 17, from a semitic ethnic background.
My families genetics are quite good when
it comes to height, yet my mom is kinda
short, and my dad is average 5'8"; ive got
uncles on both sides that are 6'+.
Currently, im at 5'10", and I could only
hope to reach 6'. Ive been hearing from
everyone that a male keeps on growing
right up to 21, is this true,
scientifically I mean, or is it just talk?
I consume a fair amount of calcium a day,
a 600mg pill, with 3/4 litres of fresh
milk that I take with whey protein. I
also do alot of weight lifting, and im
fairly fit. I also take glutamine pills
regularly, which I heard enhance the
secretion of growth hormone, which is the
prime factor in determining height. To
sum it up, do you guys think it is
possible that I gain those 2" and be
officialy labled tall?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the advice dbar, but every
doctor ive been to, adviced against the
use of hgh, saying that being a synthetic,
it would stop the secretion of the real
deal, and, it might cause my jaw and
cheekbones to grow larger, and other
disfigurations.

I'm a little curious too.
I'm more into the idea of naturally
secreting HGH through the use of exercise.
But it makes me wonder, if the body is
secreting HGH in response to a specific
amount of exercise - is that amount of HGH
just going into repairing the body, or is
it actually going to be used to help you
grow (assuming you have the potential to
continue growing).

HGH actually affects the body threefold
--- it helps repair the body, build lean
muscle mass AND it increases
energy/metabolism.

Given that HGH is released in proportion
to exercise effort (right?), is it
releasing it based on the amount necessary
to help repair the body, or does it
actually stimulate height growth, in
tandem with repairs?
e.g.
Hypothetically, say you worked for 10 min
at lactate thresh hold and your body
released 8 oz of hgh (that is a gross
exageration, its hypothetical). Will all 8
oz go to repairing your body, or will some
of it actually stimulate some height
growth (Assuming your at the age where you
have the potential for growth)?

I'd assume both. Wouldn't you? I don't
think that the HGH would be limited to
only one area of the body if both require
attention.
