We all know that the “get taller” trend with random exercises or miracle diets is mostly straight-up BS, so I wanted to make a post about what actually matters regarding growth and overall development. Feel free to contribute any information or experiences.

Main factors related to increasing IGF-1 and growth hormone:

From the nutrition side, getting enough high-quality protein and essential amino acids is important. Fasting methods such as intermittent fasting or occasional 24-hour fasts may also influence growth hormone production.

From the exercise side, intense training like HIIT and heavy lifting can stimulate growth hormone and support overall hormonal health. Improving sleep quality is also one of the most important factors.

That said, these things work better while you’re younger and still developing. If you’re over 22, they probably won’t make a significant difference in height, although they can still improve your physique, health, recovery, and overall performance compared to the average person.

And honestly, regardless of height, self-improvement goes far beyond that. Build your body, your confidence, your skills, and your health. Height is only one trait out of many.

Your life will not benefit from being taller. Even if you were tall you would find another thing to be insecure about ie dick size, hair, voice, skin color or whatever. This obsession with height is a mental issue, not a physical one.
t.6'3 and have not received any benefits from my height.

Absolute victim mentality. I know many shorter dudes who can get gfs, compete viciously in rugby, and are strong as fuck. Height is only a problem for insecure fags who make it one.
