Instead of worrying about your height, concern yourself with finishing college or getting a job that pays a decent salary. There are plenty of other things that you should be concerned with. What does the gym have to do with you attaining a certain height anyway? If it helps 6'0" is considered tall, unless you are standing next to Shaquille O'Neal!

Everybody is different. People have told me that I wont grow any taller when I was 19 (I was 5'2") Especially since I was girl because girls stop growing at a younger age. But now Im 21 and I grew to 5'5 1/2. I had another growth spurt at around age 20 and grew three inches in one year. Especially after I started eating calcum chews.\n\nI think the key is to take advantage of your growth spurts. Eat more vitamins and calcium supplements. Also since I sleept on a firmer bed I lengthened my back. After a few years of sleeping like this I think It helped out alot.\n\nAnd being as young as you are, your testosterone has yet to kick into full gear! Be paitient and good luck!

Absolutely not. At 6' you should be around 180 lbs to be healthy.

I think you are at a very healthy weight for your height. It's important to eat right and exercise, but most of all, it's important to love yourself. Too many girls are consumed with the thought that they are fat, when what they are is muscular, and/or physically fit.

Yes, most likely you will be tall.  My husband was 5' 10" and 123 pounds when he entered the Navy at 17 years of age.  When he got out 4 years later he was 6' 4" and 200 pounds.  Men continue growing until they are about 24 years old.  So, sit back and relax.  You will most likely grow into your feet.  My brother is the same as you.  He is 23 years old and 6' 2", still acting like a 13 year old.  Good luck with the feet, and the rest of your life.

I suppose you mean 57 inches. That's not really too short for 16 years. You are most likely still growing. When I was at school there was a guy who was a good twelve inches shorter than me. When I met him at our ten year reunion he was as tall as me, and I'm about 6 foot 2. It was funny because he had to tell me who he was. I didn't recognise him at all.

You are tall, man. I am 5'11 and I'm 20. When I was ur age I was 5'5. I think you will be about 6'4 when you reach 18, but that does not mean you'll stop growing people grow until they are 25. I grew one inch taller this year.

I'd be willing to bet that you'll grow about three more inches. That will take you to 5'7". YOu can always have your parent(s) take you to a doctor. They can do a measurement of certain bones and give you a good prediction. But remember, it's not just vitamins, it's protein and fat that makes you tall. There was a study that found that vegetarians (from infancy) don't get as tall as those who eat animal proteins. But they are still healthy and can be quite athletic. \n\nJust wanted to add, I'm pretty tall for a woman, but I was not just attracted to tall men but also men who were shorter than me who had a strong physical presence and confidence that made up for their stature.

It by percentile you are referring to your height / weight ratio, I would say you are ok for now. You will get taller. Boys don't usually stop growing til about 20, you can count on a couple more inches for sure.\nyour weight should level out at about 200 - 220 or even alittle more by the time you are done.\nEat right (2000 calories a day or more), drink milk, water and juice and stay active.

I think it would be preferrable to play some other sports (even in the same gym with you), because lifting weights so soon may prevent him to reach his maximum height.\n\nDoing some sports and eating well will not only help him to keep a good health and have a great body as he grows up, but to have a balanced lifestyle far from drugs and bad friendships. And doing it together with you will help to make a stronger bond between the two of you :)

supposedly- you double your height from age 2 1/2 or 3 but that is either an urban myth or a rule of thumb from who know where- your dr. can guide you as to your possible height-the best you can do is eat right, sleep enough, get plenty of normal exercise- and be happy you are healthy regardless of your height- be a good person-regardless of your height-that is not the most importamnt thing- be happy-be healthy- i had uncles who were short and some who were tall-all from the same parents- it did not affect their lives- don't worry- be happy !!

Iono about few weeks.. but if u have a few years to live and grow taller i suddgest eating right and exercising... he's my to cents:\ngenetics determine how tall you will be. \n\nIn order for one to reach their genetic potential height, the body needs a certain amount of nourishment. This includes a balanced eating of vitamins that encourage growth proper exercising and adequate sleep. \n\nUnderstand your body grows when it is at rest. Thats the optimal time when the body can restore the adequate balance of amino acids and minerals that encourage growth. \n\nThese are a few things you can to optimize your growth potential but ultimately genetics will determine how tall you are. \n\nTo prevent typing it all out right here, just check my source for the list of things you can do to optimize your growth...\n\nYou could also try \nwww.heightmax.com\nthey have non-perscribed supplements

at 19,  your growth plates will be just about closing.  \n\nthey dont fully close until around 25,  but i think you will be lucky to achieve any dramatic change in height.\n\nsome people try human growth hormone.  but ill be honest its not all that likely to change much and is also expensive.  Beware if sold over the net may not contain what it pretents to, and if the claims to makes are too good to be true,  then they probably are not true.\n\ntaking a anabolic drug like the steroids body builders take will actually speen up closure of growth plates,  so no extra height there\n\ni would suggest work on exercises to improve posture, with good safe back stretching exercises.  these may help,  but youre not likely to gain much
