Any Tips On How To Get Taller?

homerxhomerx Join Date: 2003-04-01 Member: 15094Members
<div class="IPBDescription">All suggestions are always welcome.</div> AFAIK, males stop growing at 21. That means I still have 17 months left.

I'm already 5'10 3/4, and my goal is to reach 6'0 by the time I'm 21.


Any suggestions?

    Eat milk. Dont lift weights, and work on your vertical leap @_@

    Lots of beef and lots of milk. And leafy greens to balance it out and stay regular.

    Oh and I almost forgot, most importantly, high heels, thats the key.

    reroll your character and add more of your starting atribute points to maximum height

    I'm 6'6-6'7 haven't measured myself in quite some time. Had to start smoking to stop it! :o. Seriously though, being this tall isn't all that great. If I had known I'd be getting this tall when I was alot younger I would have forced an interest in basketball on myself! Also, pretty much every car I get into, my knees are plastered against he seat in front of me, and my head is on the cieling. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> Anyone remember that simpsons episode where the bully points and laughs at the little car driving by, and the gigantic guy with glasses gets out? Thats me D:.

    chrono5454, Mullet,

    These past few weeks, I have taken a liking to basketball. I haven't played since I was 14, but I have improved on my game a lot. 95% of the kids in my neighborhood are varsity players of their respective colleges/universities, which means they are all good. It surprised me that I could keep up with them, even though they have been doing this for years, and I, just weeks. I figured if I lost some weight (I'm pretty pudgy), got a little taller, and worked on my jumping, I could most probably make varsity in my second college (I'm graduating from my 2 year course this year).

    Do lots of stretches, and sleep a lot more. You do most of your growing in your sleep, so if you're going to do any, it's going to be then <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    my advice is to go to Wal-Mart, find the 'Medieval Torture Devices' section, and buy yourself a Rack. each day, you can tighten it a little more... when all your bones pop out of their sockets from the stretching, you know it's working.

    or you could sleep on one of those things that hangs you upside down from your feet...

    or get bovine growth hormone injections...

    I think this forum (or video game culture in general) is condusive to tall people... I'm 6'6, and whenever we talk about height in this forum it seems like so is a good 30% of us hehe... which is odd because in my daily life I don't see ppl taller than me more than like once a month...

    Wow, I sleep LOTS and I'm 5'11 and 15. I lift weights though, does that really stunt growth?

    14 and 9 months, 177 or 178 cm [edit: 5 foot 9]

    i think some people are short, some people are tall

    everybody has some condition they have to live with... scoliosis [sp?], a bad liver, height, crook legs, etc... nobody is perfect, we all have 'flaws'

    i dont think its so much trying to rectify your bad qualities, as learning to live with them and not let them get you down or hold you back

    stand around a group of midgets at all times, giving the amazing illusion that you are a very tall person.
  • GeminosityGeminosity :3 Join Date: 2003-09-08 Member: 20667Members
    sorry homer but I don't think there really is a way to make yourself uber tall. Make sure your diet has the right levels of nutrion and you'll be more likely to develop to whatever your full height is but beyond that you're just stuck with whatever nature gives you =P

    Being tall really isnt all its cracked up to be. Im 6'6" and believe me, doorframes, chandeliers, and low flying aircraft are my arch nemises.

    And on the annoyance front:
    The 3 questions I get most:
    "How tall are you?"
    Tall enough.
    "Do you play Basketball?"
    No. Begone from my sight, spawn of ignorance.
    "What time is it?"
    The time is now.

    Rapidly approaching the top 3 is:
    "When is the next Naruto out?"
    It airs every wednesday morning at 6:30 AM Central time, in japan. It then takes 6-12 hours to go Raw, and 2-3 days go be subtitled. No, I cannot make it mysteriously appear out of thin air.

    Do you want your medals now, or when you reach manhood?
