    I know this may sound stupid, but is it possible to make yourself grow taller? A lot of people tell me you can't control it.

    I'd be interested to hear the answer to this, lol.

    Ummmm well I know they have surgeries now that can make you a bit taller. Bone lengthening, but it's mostly for midgits and stuff...

    Torture rack might work.

    Also eating right might help your development some but in the end there isnt much you can do that I know of.

    Well, I'm looking for ways to grow naturally, lol.

    I've read that eating the right Vitamins, working out, and stretching helps. As does swimming.

    Btw, damn the Torture racks sucks, lol.

    Same. I'm not looking to grow to like 6'8, lol. But a good 3 inches would really help.

    I think most males are done growing by the age of 18. Some keep growing until the age of 21. It's safe to say that you aren't going to grow much more with you being 17.

    LOL

    there is nothing you can take to make yourself grow 3 inches taller. if there was, just about every competitive sport player/student would take it.

    your height is predetermined by your genetics. regardless of what people want to believe, all men are not created equal.

    I've done some recent reading on how Yoga can give you a little extra height but it's less about true growth and more about stretching the spine. And to achieve any success it takes 2-3 years.

    I peaked at about 6 foot 1 somewhere around 18.
    It is what it is man but work on posture. It matters later on.

    Thanks guys. I like the positive answers. I'm going to start stretching daily and eating healthy to see if it helps.

    No, but if you hamstring everyone you know they'll end up shorter after the repair surgery. Then you'll seem taller.

    Seriously...regular use of inversion boots really can add between a fraction of an inch to an inch of height to an older person whose spine has compressed over time. I'm not sure it would help you at your age. Worth a try, though. At worst you'll vary your workout routine.

    Whatever motivation you are doing it for stay with the stretching and do as much full body work as you can. Nothing worse than having to utter the phrase "I used to be able to do that...".

    I used to be able to kick the top of a door frame, now I'm lucky to hit the door knob. Like any other tool, keep your body in good shape or it won't work right when you need it to.

    Good luck.

    If you can spend significant amounts of time in space you may be able to grow some more, as you'll no longer have gravity holding you up.

    There are growth hormones that drs give to undersized or slow growing kids that supposedly work but I seriously doubt there is much one can do as an adult tho. The only growth thing I'm aware of are all these "pecker pills" that gives you your extra 3 inches!!!! :D :knucks:
