I am 16 years old boy, 5’10" tall, my dad is 6’1" and my mom is 5’9". I hut puberty around 14 years old( Late bloomer I guess). How tall can I be?
I’d say since you probably have another 2-3 years of meaningful growth left + your dad is 6ft 1 you’ll probably grow to be at least 6ft tall. Good luck… lol.
Depends on your access to adequate nutrition.
Don’t do any silly severe cutting or calorie restrictions for the next 6 years or so.
I grew till I was 21 and only made it to 5’10". But my dad is 5’9" and mom is 5’3". So felt lucky.
Will second what @SkyzykS said. No cutting. I did severe cutting for wrestling half the year for 8 years straight. Now I have size 13 shoes and big paws at only 5’10". Not sure if I stunted my growth or not, but looking like a clown is no fun.

I was thinking of that when I wrote the post! Also, my one brother who is an inch shorter than me. He wrestled at like 103, 112 through high school, cutting like crazy. His sons are 6’4".

How tall you CAN be has a huge range. Dennis Rodman grew 7 inches after the age of 18, I believe. He’s an outlier, but if all we’re talking about is the range of possibilities, that’s relevant to the question. It’s also possible that could be done growing right now, today. So the range I’d give you is probably 5’10 to 6’10.
A better question is ‘how tall will you probably be’. And I’ll put that at 6’0 to 6’4. I think that is the range 95%+ boys in your situation would end up falling in.

I stopped growing taller when I was 15. My bones like clavicles were still growing till 21-22 though, my shoulder/upper body frame got significantly wider once I hit 20-21, although my height didn’t change.
My brother stopped growing when he was 18. So it is different from person to person.
I was 6’3” at 16 and only grew about an inch more. My brother grew from 5’11” to 6’5” from 16-18.
Everyone is different, even when you have the same parents, eat similarly, etc.
My dad: 5’10-5’11. My mom: 5’6. My brother: 6’2. Me: 6’4. Unless my mom was banging the Globetrotters, I’d say you’ll be anywhere between 5’10 and 8 feet tall.
No idea, but I remember when the doctor told me & my father that i’d top out at 5’7", this was when I was around 14 or so. I remember my dad was mad/disappointed about it, guess he didn’t want me to be “short”. I think by 16 I was 6’1. I think heavy squatting for several years brought me back down to 6’0, then stopping squatting for several more years brought me back to 6’1". ;f
Depends on if you’re masturbating or not. The more vigorous and frequent a masturbator you are, the shorter you will be

I never had a huge growth spurt my self, but i was 6’ 3" in the 8th grade (13 YO) and never grew any more. I was consistently bigger than any kids my age, always growing my shoe size matched my age for a few years. size 9 at 9, 10 at 10, etc til i was 13 then it all stopped. My mom is 5’7" dad was 6’, but both grandpas were 6’3", my brother is 6’4" but his dad is only 5’7". I say all this to say i believe it has a lot to do with grand parents size, and genes skipping generations. Worry not with what you can’t control, eat plenty, work hard, get strong. My best friend is one of the best men / bad asses i know with a 600 lb squat, 375 lb bench, and 585 deadlift in two years of training he is 5’6". So worry more about what you can control and who you are than genetics.
