bodybuilding is shrinking us all!!!! Is there anything that can be done?

Devils · 07-09-2007, 08:22 PM

5"8 - 5"11 is the best height for bbing.

Mourning Tide · 07-09-2007, 08:23 PM

Man Id be more worried about growing an inch 'downstairs'

Grezlar · 07-09-2007, 08:24 PM

If you haven't stopped growing then most likely you're still growing just not noticeably...Like maybe 1/4-1/2 in per year. Same thing happening to my brother. Nothing can be done about it, maybe try to sleep more that's it

mnwrestler4life · 07-09-2007, 08:26 PM

Acere · 07-10-2007, 07:49 AM

Boo hoo, you're 5'9/10. Really I feel so sorry for you...

I was like 5'2 at 16. Just glad I had a huge growth spurt and hit 5'7.

Troutboyd · 07-10-2007, 08:01 AM

_Mazza_ · 07-10-2007, 08:04 AM

I got measured today at 5'8, but I had shoes on lol.

njman · 07-10-2007, 08:05 AM

maybe your measured yourself at night today? your taller in the morning because your spine is decompressed and as the day goes on your spine compresses and you become smaller.

dont worry about it, you dont stop growing till youre 21, if youre still stuck at this height by 21, then its youre genes form youre parents, and for more growth try...SQUATS AND MILK!, do alot of compound excercises like squats, deadlifts and powerclean, they release growth hormones which will help in the growing process, and it also releases testosterone serum.

if u have any uncles on ur moms side ask them their height...ur mom's father too...thats usually the height range ull end up being fully grown

That'd be great it would mean I'm between 5'10 and 6'2, but sadly I'm pretty sure I've taken my dads genes, he's 5'7 and I'm 5'5 so lets hope I get my uncles or my moms dads genes!

You're only 13! At 13 I was 5'6! Now I'm 6'2 haha.

I started my JV bball team (16 years old) as the shortest player on the team (at 5'8.5) by the end of the season I was the 3rd tallest at 5'11. Just about everyone on my team was 5'10!

And to the OP measure yourself in the morning if you want to be taller. You are about a 1/2 an inch taller in the morning.

I think you just have a better chance of being goofy. Because look at the SG's and SF's in college basketball in the nba. They are far from goofy. But they are also the most coordinated of the taller people, and thats why they are playing basketball at such a high level. I dont really know what I'm getting at, aha

GETTING BIG · 07-10-2007, 09:59 AM

i heard once mals produce to much facial hair as in a goatee or a thin beard there growing days are close to over but ive also heard you can grow till mid 20 s ive been stuck for 8 months on 5 11 not sure if im gonna grow more but its summer and usally we grow the most here so drink your milk and sleep.

GETTING BIG · 07-10-2007, 10:01 AM

how many of you think lifting in a way slowed down the process of our growth rates not stunted it but made us lose a few inches towards are maximun length.i belive it helped me i started at 14 at 5 8 and im now at 5 11 hoping to reach 6 2.

skinnyteen15 · 07-10-2007, 10:49 AM

the shorter you are, the bulkier you will look, as long as you're not fat.

I'd rather be short and bulky than tall and lanky

LetFireFall · 07-10-2007, 11:01 AM

[QUOTE=cbat28;58673511]You're only 13! At 13 I was 5'6! Now I'm 6'2 haha.

haha whoops I just got up when I wrote that so it made it sound like I was between 5'10 and 6'2 whoops, but no my uncle on my moms side is 5'10, so is my brother and my moms dad was about 6'2 so I was saying I'd like to be in between that height.

But I'm actually 5'5 and I look alot like my dad who is only 5'7. My dad was previously married and I'm taller than both my step brothers (there 24 and 27 (5'2 and 5'4). So I doubt I'm going to be growing much more.

IRON_MANII · 07-10-2007, 11:41 AM

Depends if you're filled out or not/bone structure.
