Hello everyone, I recently join this community for learning new things about this sport.
And my biggest problem is :
I am 20 years old 167 cm and I am not growing since 2 years and I have been going to gym for bodybuilding since 3 months ( and I made this sport like 6 months 2 years ago.) My epiphysis are closed according to rontgen results.
My dad is 165 and my mom is 158 cm.
Also I still dont have beard or hair on my cheeks.
And I realised I wasn't eating enough protein,carbs everyday but I am eating enough protein and take calcium everyday and I read some comments on internet about being more taller after 20+ is still possible even if your epiphysis are close with right exercises.
I eat 3 banana , cabbage everyday and take multivitamin and calcium and magnesium pills everyday and I hang on chin up for opening my bones and stretching.
I want to gain some inches if its possible. What would you recommend me? Would you recommend me exercises and the foods for growing up a little bit more?
@dethagorf training will not make you grow taller my friend. Your height is determined by genetics, and the main thing you can do to help ensure you grow to your potential is eat enough food and get enough rest. Aside from that, your height won't be changed by doing a certain exercise or hanging from a pull-up bar, sorry to say. You're already taller than both of your parents so that's not too bad anyway 😊
Not having any facial hair may also be a genetic factor - not everyone can grow facial hair easily, myself included. I wouldn't worry too much about that.. however, the other issue could be your testosterone levels, they may be a bit low. Have you had them checked?
I'd suggest you calculate your overall macros daily to make sure you're actually getting enough protein carbs and fats. Do you know exactly how much of each macro you're getting each day?
