Congrats dude. I’ve read some of us keep growing well into our 20s. 25 seems to be the absolute limit though, and it does seem to be the exception rather than the rule…
I expect your hoping to get to 5’10 amirite?

I’m interested in when you guys stopped growing…
I’m 21 and I had my last growth spurt at 18, I was always the short guy in high school. I think there were maybe 2 other guys in my year shorter than me I think I was around 5’4 at age 16, I arguably didn’t really grow much during my early teens. At 12 I was 5’2 and by the time I was 18 which was my last growth spurt I was about 5’7 just.
Lately I’ve been getting weird body aches and it never really occurred to me that it could actually be growing pains, since I’m 21 and I haven’t grown since I was 18 it just didn’t seem likely. However I’m currently almost 5’9 and unless I’m measuring myself wrong it would seem like I haven’t stopped growing yet.
Anyone else have these sorts of experiences?[/quote]
I grew some in college, not much but we are all chasing that extra .5".[/quote]
You’re right about that man… It may not sound like much but going from 5’7 - 5’9 is very welcome. One month your smaller than the majority of men and the next your the same height as most. Pretty cool.

Ah, go to hell! (I barely made it past 5’7")[/quote]
Hah sorry man… It’s a shock to be honest, my Dad was 5’5 and my Mom was 5’4 so I was surprised I even got 5’7 let alone 5’9.[/quote]
I stopped @14.
You’re taller because you probably didn’t stop growing as early as they did. Once you stop completely, you stop for good.
It could be late puberty, do you have any body hair and that stuff yet? lol
I stopped at 5’7 at age 18. I’m 33 still waiting to hit puberty as I still can’t grow any facial hair.
It seems like 18 or 19 is the end of getting taller.

I also have never been able to grow much facial hair. Not only does it grow slowly, but it seems like only once follicle in ten on my face even pushes out a hair, so it looks terrible. The last time I even tried was 1999.
I just tell people I’m far removed from the apes.

2" at 21? there is hope for me yet. 5’10.5" just turned 21. Id give digits for that last 1.5" (im thinking little toes here ofc lol), but i stopped at 16 and havnt budged since.
^^ 5’10.5" is above average (and you can tell people you’re 5’11")
You’ll likely be like me (I’m 6 feet on the nose) and you will get called tall a lot more than you’ll be called short so that’s good. So long as you don;t try out for a basketball team.
5’8" by 18.
Chest went from 36 to 42 when I was 22.
I reached 6’4" by age 17, and haven’t grown since (currently 32 y/o)

technically its 5’10 and 3 quarters lol, so i do indeed use 5’11. unfortunately i seem to ‘look shorter’. i blame short legs and wide shoulders. Ive still got my fingers crossed for another growth spurt though
I hate this thread.
