Hey Veeky Forums I was wondering if I could get some advice.
I won't say how old I am, but I do have a few years of puberty left, approximately. My height is only 5'4", and it really impacts on my self-esteem and confidence. I've read that having a healthy diet and exercise with lots of proteins and vitamins can help you grow taller by a few inches, especially because my dad is 5'8", so I think I'd have the genes to grow that tall.
My question is if there's any good diet or exercise regime that you guys know about that could help me with what I'm trying to do?
From one manlet to another, if you want to improve your confidence, leave this board and never come back.

no exercise or diet will increase your genetic height potential
the only thing that can are hormones. go to doctor and they may put you on them if you are too short for your age
Oliver Price
trips don't lie
Sebastian Price
Good diet and lifting help in that it allows for you maximum potential, but it's still all down to genes

>My height is only 5'4" AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

Seriously, if really like some help with this. I don't care anymore that I'm a manlet, I just want to be taller
Jeremiah Jenkins
I assume that you're underage then. Anyway, for optimal growth just eat healthy at a surplus, being a bit chubby (in a healthy way) is always good when growing. Also get enough sleep, try to sleep atleast 8 hours a day and more in the weekends. You grow the most during sleep.
And if you take adhd medication, try to lessen it in the weekend. It stunts growrth
With kind regards, 5'7" manlet who is probably this short due to not eating much and sleeping 5.5 hours a night playing Street Fighter. My sisters is 1 inch taller than me and my dad is 5'10", my mom 5'5". Goodluck!
OP, eat a lot of food. I mean A LOT, not "eat until you're full" because you're probably a skeleton.
SLEEP. Don't spend late nights on your fucking computer. Go to bed early and make sure you get plenty of sleep.
If you're desperate, get up on a small dose of dat der HGH
Blake Garcia
Where can I buy HGH though?
Angel Jackson
stuff you can do that will probably make you seem taller : fix your goddamn posture and stretch stuff you can do that might help growing : be active, eat a lot and sleep a lot stuff that will definitely help with growing : growth hormone
Juan Cruz
Not OP, but nice projecting manlet. Kys

Make sure you get all the necessary vitamins and minerals and you're good to go.

Jordan Moore

David Cox
From ages 15-17 I gained almost nothing, then at the age of 17 I started working out and eating healthy. I grew 1 solid inch in a year. Nothing much, but still
Jose Foster
This. I stopped growing from 14-17 and grew like 2 inches when I hit 18. Just have patience.
Oliver Diaz
>not even trying to sound convincing Ok then faggot
Juan Stewart

Nicholas Cooper
Do I have hope? I'm 18 and my heigh is 5'6 My mom is 5'8 and dad is 6'0

>eat abundandly as kid >grow to 6''1', taller than both mom and dad >in turn, get gyno
Ohwell, time for surgery.
I assume it should be better to remove moobs first, then start weightlifting? Don't wanna massacre the muscle mass and stretch the skin anymore and stuff...
Brayden Martin
are you fat? fat people all have moobs and it's not gyno it's just fat. Lose the fat. If you're not fat then start lifting anyway, you'll look a lot better with gyno and some muscle than just gyno. Stop making excuses you fucker. Just do it.
Anthony Barnes
This is me, except I've been lifting for two years and the gyno is still there, so I know it isn't bodyfat.
Is there seriously anything that can be done about gyno without surgery?
Elijah Cruz
85 kilos, 187 lbs for ameritards, and 187 cm tall. Skinnyfat. And it kinda feels hard on touch, so I do believe it's gyno. But yeah, better gyno and Veeky Forums over waiting for surgery first. And who knows, maybe I'm just dumb and it aint gyno.
Other than that, I don't think there's anything but surgery, and even that's for treatment during puberty from what I got.
Christopher Howard
If it's pubertal gyno you can blast it away with raloxifene, as I understand. Don't bother with surgery until you've confirmed it's absolutely necessary.

Jeremiah Diaz
Aromatae Inhibitors might help with growing taller if your growth plates haven't closed yet.
6,3 here i see manlets getting mad pussy in my area
William Bell
Why don't "manlets" just go for a short girl? I'm 5'0" and I didn't even know tall guys were "preferable" until I started hearing about it on Veeky Forums. Everyone's tall to me.
Parker Foster
Because short (asian) girls still prefer tall white boys?
For OP. Go see a doctor. And actually do swimming, basketball, badminton. You know, sports that supposed to help your vertical growth. Unscientific, but they can't be bad for you. And eat your vegs.
Christian Scott
your body produces it by itself with IF

Aaron Bailey
>Because short (asian) girls still prefer tall white boys? Prefering is different from necessity For a woman a taller man is a must, or close Anything after that seems to be preferences that are minor A girl who is 155 cm (should be a bit over 5 feet) has called me too tall for her before The thing is I'm not even tall, 181 cm (5'11)
Connor Moore
>I don't care anymore that I'm a manet >just want to be taller
So. You do care then.
Dylan Bailey
I think height is all genetics, I think you'll be as tall as you should be whether you sleep 5 hours a day or 10
in high school I always slept 6hours+ and had mates who didn't even sleep some nights to play vydia, and they grew several inches during highschool
but here is my example:
>mom 5'3" >dad 5'5.5" >from kindergarden to the beginning of high school I was at the top 5 tallest guys in class >entered highschool at 5'7 >ended highschool at 5'9(by this time I was about the tall part of the averages[live in brazil]) >there has been three years since highscool and I'm now at 5'9.75~5'10
I've always eaten well and exercised Height is all about genetics, I did everything right and am 5'10, my friends who did not sleep/exercise/eat well are 6ft because they had taller parents
So if I were you, I'd just accept it or go for the Ilizarov surgery. It can make you 5 inches taller(but the more you grow, the riskier it gets)
good luck mate, I hope you find your peace
John Sanders
That's some very fucking stupid anecdotal evidence. There is no information on how tall you would be without healthy sleep, diet and whatever else. You could have ended 5'5 for all we know.
Tyler Hernandez
im a lanket and this board has ruined me aswell
no-one is safe from this kind of scrutiny
Jaxson White
My dad is 5'9, my mum is 5'6, I am 6'1
Could be because my Great uncle on my mum's side is 6'7 so I got muh height from her alpha genes, but I also slept and ate a lot during puberty.
That being said, I'd trade a few inches of my height for a better frame (thicker wrists, wider shoulders, narrower hips)
Height really only matters because it's what girls think is what makes you imposing. They're usually surprised when I say i'm taller than my 5'11 friend because he's wide as fuark and way more imposing than i.
Just remain active during puberty and make sure you don't spend all day on Veeky Forums and playing video games, go and learn a martial art like judo or BJJ and box at the same time, maybe swim, too. It'll give you a nicer frame and by the time you're heading off to college/uni you'll be confident as fuck around everyone.
Aaron Gutierrez
well mate, I had a friend with a 5'8 father and a 5'9 mother
He was fat af, then he got skinny by not eating at all, then fat again, never once exercised, slept really really bad(like 3-4 hours everyday and 12 in the weekends) and today he is 6'4
Also I know another guy with a 6'2 father, 5'8 mother who is 5'11, this guy always exercised, ate well and slept well
height = purely genetics

You know a couple more useless observations change nothing You are still a fucking dumbass, bye
Sebastian Morris
Where are the other parts faggot?
Matthew Reed
Being short is an evolutionary advantage. Tall people are targets, short people are not. Know that if war comes to your land its the tall that are first to die.

>shit manlets say
Isaiah Flores
you are so unpolite mate so full of hate i hope you have a nice body otherwise you're just pathetic lol
Ryder Foster
>How tall is your mum Unless you are criple then you should be taller than her
Andrew Campbell
Well Asians are a huge turnoff for me, so I guess it doesn't matter.
Kevin Hill
Nah my mam is 5'1", I was taller than her at 12. It's just that usually guys are taller than their dads.
Nathan Jackson
got arthritis at 15 maybe that affected
Brandon Fisher
my mom is taller than me by 3 inches
Alexander Jenkins
Accept it. Get jacked and hope someone calls you "so and so, the battledwarf"
