    I doubt it since your growth plates should have closed by then
    Bench: 255lbs (115kg)
    Squat: 320lbs (145kg)
    Deadlift: 430lbs (195kg)

    Males can actually continue to increase in height up through about age 22. For females, I think it's 19. That being said, you're 3 inches taller than both your parents, so you've already lucked out.

    There are no scientifically proved "do-it-at-home" ways to get taller. Usually males are almost done growing at around 17, but it is quite usual for a couple of centimeters to come sneaking the years to come.
    I know a guy who went from around 175-185cm in half a year when he was 17.
    Though considering your parents' height, you should not expect to suddenly increase 10cm in height.

    David Robinson grew considerably after the age of 17. Always a chance, but you probably need to get used to the height you are at.

    i grew 2 inches between the years of 21 - 24 so it is possible to grow. My guess is hormones balancing themselves out while you get older.
