How to Grow Taller: 20 Mistakes To Avoid At All Costs (They Make You Shorter) 

If it's height related, maybe a vid on the correlation between certain sports and height growth. If not, maybe a vid on the most optimal diets for health?.. Anyway, keep doing your thing !

@@avechristusrexx Sports --> height is a cool one! Will consider it. Diet and exercise vids coming soon!

U can make a video on the importance of micro and macro nutrients on our mental health. Or maybe the majority of people know this already. And u can do a on IBS and various stomach/digestive problems.

Good to have you back bro!

I 100% agree. Frame is important, and my first vid goes over this a bit. I can do a more dedicated video on it in the future once I do some research on it.

This is very interesting topic. Lanklets with tiny shoulders look pathetic

I've had enough doctors and people try to convince me I can't grow and that I'll stay short. These vids are part of my rebellion haha. Hardly god's work

@@acqua3869 hell yeah brother, keep it up

@@acqua3869 bro tell me your routine

You should lose all those fat because it increases your estrogen levels, I suggest deficit until you’re at a healthy weight and then do a surplus of healthy mass.

@@tarkongnabors thank you for the advice

Yep, tarkongnabors is right. Obesity is linked to high estrogen, so cut down (500 cal deficit per day until you're 12-15% bf), then lean bulk to provide your body with enough nutrients to grow.

Agreed m8 we live in a profit driven society

Preciate u bro, 100% will

wait it might actually work tho

Yep, I've discussed this on my channel before. I think it works, but only targets the shinbones. I've actually experimented with this before (30 lb per leg, 1-2 hrs b4 sleeping). Didn't see the results I wanted so I pivoted

Preciate u m8

Yep, massage guns speed up orthodontic rate. I don't use one bc I don't have the access yet, but I will in the future.

As long as you're consistent with your sleep and get 8-10 hrs per night, you should be good. If it's a work or school thing, that should come first. And yessir, those who put in the work are gonna make it. Stay strong.

You'll need to get creative. Ankle weights are easy to make with sand and plastic bags. You just need to tie those bags onto an ankle strap afterward. For bands, it's a lot harder, but maybe you have elastic material/rope around the house you can use.

Also BPA is one of 4000 endocrine disruptors found in plastic.

Great point. I did not know about this before, but it makes sense

If you have the time, yes. I stretch every day after my workouts, no excuses

Curcumin (in tumeric) doesn't contain quercetin. They're separate. Although both compounds lower aromatase activity, and quercetin reduces DHT levels, there is no effect of low DHT on the growth plates. Just to clear things up

@@cyzz_life oh alright thanks I thought it did. And Ik that low dht doenst have anything to do with growth plates it’s just pretty important if one is stil in puberty (for men).

Sure, like a follow-along one? I filmed one recently, will release it soon

Should be able to just use google slides and most likely used obs to record it

I used loom + google slides. Switching to obs soon bc it's free. Hope u get that YT started, we're in the midst of a digital gold rush, and if you can amass an online presence, you'll be able to leverage them for the rest of your life

@@VendevProd thanks brother

@@cyzz_life i really appreciate you fam. thanks for the words of encouragement as well. what you say is true. we are in fact in the digital gold rush. best wishes to you my friend

I am pretty sure you can't grow after 30+ age but all the best for u

who gave bro the smoke at 14

Yes. Anything that doesn't have an ingredient label of the base foods (like potato, wheat, chicken, etc) is processed, and hyperprocessed takes that to a new level with chemicals that act as pesticides and preservatives. If possible, buy single ingredients and make it yourself

That's a good question, I don't 100% know, but I avoid those heavy compound lifts just in case. Hanging and gravity boots do decompress the spine, but once that fluid has been forced out, it takes a lot longer for it to be absorbed back. Repeat this process enough times, and your body will reach a level of conditioning where the discs will stay flatter in anticipation of being squished again. This eventually leads to disc herniation. Similar idea of raising your baseline test and HGH levels by working out consistently.

@@cyzz_life That makes sense, thank you for answering. Your videos are freaking gems, keep it up!

Glad you're taking action, brother. Remember to stay safe

My dad's 6ft, mom's 5ft. I should be 5'8.5, but I'm slightly under 5'8. I haven't grown much bc I only started doing this stuff recently, and most of the 0.7 in have been postural

Bro i have the same my dads 6ft and moms 5 ft im 15 and half and 5"6.5 can i get to 5"9?

No problem. The main techniques are mewing and thumb pulling (the latter one I have a video for). I'll consider making a full vid, but Dr. Mike Mew explains it better than me haha

​@@cyzz_lifeHello brother I'm 17 and 5'7 I have grown 3 inches from 2022 Will i grow more? My beard has also grown Please tell me My Father's height is 5'8 And mother's 5'5

The only problem with a full guide is that it'll be an hour long. I can try, but most likely I'm just going to make a full lifestyle vid, might be more helpful.

@@cyzz_life yeah true true

Ur in puberty till like early 20s dude

@@Ethyro I meant the height growth part of puberty. It ends at around 15-18 for guys

5-10 lb isn't very much. I used to use 30 lb per leg for a month and didn't see any measurable results. However, I only did it for 2 hrs before bed after my runs. So I'm sorry, I don't know how long it'll take with your method. I have a whole supplement vid (feel free to check it out), but the main groups to focus on are your minerals, aminos and peptides.

@@cyzz_life thanks I appreciate it, how tall are you btw ?

Unfortunately, yes. That's why most girls are shorter than guys. If you stay as healthy as possible (avoiding estrogenics, boosting HGH, optimizing your sleep), you can see solid results. However, at 16, your growth plates are most likely closed, if not already closed. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

@@cyzz_life So I might as well be aware that my current height will most likely be my adult height, thank you :) Do your post-puberty methods actually do much or are they more like gimmicks ?

@@johjoh6429 That's what I'm here to find out. A lot of people (unverified) have had success with it, and the physics of it work out. I just need to test it for myself and document it for you all over 6 mo - 1 year.

Can definitely create microfractures, if that's what you're looking for. I'd recommending adding ankle weights or a backpack, bodyweight isn't enough

Low pasteurized will still kill a lot of good bacteria and render essential nutrients useless. Still, it is better than regular store-bought milk. Kefir is a great alternative, as is goat cheese.

Any kind of milk has igf1 which helps you grow Lactose free is best for digestion

Just buy milk from the local farmer

No, just don't go too heavy. Compound lifts that compress the spine are fine to do at light weights, but once u go too heavy, your spinal discs suffer.

Same here, brother. But we still have post-puberty methods

I go by Cyzz. Stretching is mainly for postural correction, it can increase torso height over time through spinal decomp because you're conditioning the spinal discs to maintain fullness (spinal discs make up 10% of our height so it's worth doing).

@@cyzz_life i guess no, cuz cartilage of spine discs will shrink again

U sure ? Do you have some sort of proof​@@mazenmagdy155

You can try microfractures technique

@@Legend-ph4vx yeah i been doing that lately but ig i wish i could’ve grown more during puberty

​@@hardszhou idk if accutane caused it, it just decreases your test level from a study, ask ur family members when they stopped growing? you might not be done growing

Are you talking about resveratrol?

Yes, but try to have it go through a filter first. If not, no worries. Ingesting it (drinking) is worse, you'll want to filter drinking water for sure. If you don't have metal bottles, use glass cups/jars

Hard to say, everyone is different. At 6'2, I'd say your priorities should be looksmaxxing and building up the best personality you can.

@@cyzz_life yeah, i just love playing bbal and my dad is 6'5(he said 6'1 at my age), grandpa 6'9, and my grandpa from mom's side is 6'7, ngl i feel short at every family encounter

​@@chillfn8618 Insanely good genetics. You're actually blessed. Give heightmaxxing a go, you might be able to reach your dad's height.

Caffeine in general is bad, so I stay away from it completely. Messes up the circadian rhythm and reduces bone mineral density, so if you're doing the microfracture method, you'll actually grow shorter. That said, if you need it for work or to stay awake and put food on the table, that comes first.

don't think it works, but that's just from personal experience

You don't need them. They just make the setup easier to take apart, which will help you avoid getting stuck. I've had quite a few moments where I could not get out of my banded sleeping setup, and it still remains a painful memory.

@@cyzz_life Thank you for your answer. Goat. I would like to give an idea about supplements, glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate may play a key role in height increase. Vitamin A plays an important role in micro fractures.

​@@AyazOzkaya-jx5wp I recently ordered my glucosamine sulfate, my next batch should be arriving soon. It's a great one to take, the chondroitin version works equally well. Vit A (I eat a lot of carrots) promotes cell division, really helpful for healing microfractures. Good insights, brother

Works better during puberty, applies to all ages

but u run the risk of getting osteoporosis and can ruin ur facial bone growth, so i mean idk it depends on what ur case is

@@techiskek any proof? Facial bone is enhanced by test, which will increase with ai. Also might increase p size too

@@user-eh9nq3xg3l any proof of .. what ? ai's don't increase ur testosterone, they decrease estrogen, that's it

Your body releases HGH upon deep sleep. As long as you're consistent with the time you go to sleep, you should be fine. The main reason sleeping early (8-11pm) is recommended is because there will be fewer triggers (light, temperature) to wake u up at night

I got time for u brother. You're 14, so you've got time. Focus on sleep and HGH, and the height gains will come. Make sure you're not malnourished or taking drugs. The general equation is dad + mom + 5 inches, then divide by 2. For you, it'd be 5'10.5. But I've seen so many people surpass this number-- it's merely a estimate.

It can temporarily improve your posture. But no real impact on height. If it's a result of stretching, then the lengthened muscles are what promote height, not the "cracked" spine.

Yessir exactly. Avoid heavy compound lifts, if you still want to do them, go lighter. The only thing that matters is that we don't compress our spine.

@@cyzz_life okay thank you😁

The younger you start, the more potential you have. Lock in m8

yes

@@techiskek Thanks!

I usually do dynamic stretches during my rests (between sets), then I do my 11 exercise stretching routine after my workout to keep my muscles from being tight during the day

@@cyzz_life That's a excellent idea. I can borrow this idea from you?

@@Imhim247 100%, what's mine is yours

Not much research out there on it, but it's a lot better than accutane from what I can see. Not sure how it interacts with your growth plates though, I still recommend sweating your pores out and eating healthy

@@cyzz_life Thank you

anastrozole and lestrozole maybe, but not exemestane maybe do your research first

@@SigmaGrindset1 if it's an aromatse inhibitor it will, wtf r u talking about dude

how come? id only see that happening if u were to crash ur estrogen, but if you were to administer it correctly it could delay the closure of your epiphysial plates? id only see that being beneficial to facial bone development, idrk tho i want to read ur input

It's all about dosage. At the end of the day, all AIs do is decrease estrogen. If you significantly crash your estrogen (by any means), you'll mess with the development of your facial bone structure. Liam, if you think exemestane is different for some reason (maybe its irreversible binding), then lmk. I could be missing something.

I'll create a video on this soon. From experience you want to "keep the pipeline full" and encourage constant bone turnover by running or exercising every day. The entire bone healing process takes 2-6 months, depending on the severity of the cracks within the bone matrix, so weekly rest days won't make much of a difference.

@@cyzz_life i think youre right, basketballer with immense growthspurts also train every day. Btw is running on a treadmill good? They have cushion function, I think running outside on a hard floor. What do you think? Sorry one more question, what do you think about fasting for a few days?

Soy contains phytoestrogens, which will close your growth plates faster. I'd aim for beans and rice instead if you're on a vegan diet. Also, how many meals a day doesn't matter-- the calories do. Ideally you should be on a lean bulk while at 12-15% bf.

I am also confused bro

12-15% is what you should aim for. Any more than this, and your body produces more estrogen than what's ideal. And as a reminder, more estrogen closes GP faster. My advice is to cut down slow. Find your BMR, drop it by 500 cals, and use that as a daily calorie goal. Should be dropping 1 lb per week

why are you cutting if you don't mind me asking? like is it for your physique, face or what

@@aaryan1187 if u are below 17% body fat i wouldnt recommend you cut

@@aaryan1187 I am obese😕 So I want to loose that belly fat and chest fat.

​@@Lazerfirestop sugar, eat online healthy stuff, Workout, go for a run (atleast 2 km), maybe it helps eating food with low Fat percentage

@@yousihard8569 I already avoid sugars and eat healthy. I used to exercise every evening but I cannot do now because of Exams. I will try to do sprints after my exams are over.

Meditate before bed (or calm down another way) and supplement with gaba. Almonds are good for you in general, but idk how much you need to eat.

@@cyzz_life Yeah that seems valid Cause I used to workout right bfore bed Idk if it messed up with my sleep

100%. I'm even exploring the option of creating microfractures with heavy compound lifts (due to high tension and compression forces). Atm I think avoiding heavy lifts is still better.

Sorry to hear that bro. If you have the money, buy an activated carbon filter (or better yet convince your family to get one). You'll all be healthier in the long run as a result. If nothing else, get yourself a fully metal water bottle and drink from that. Gotta work within your means for now.

You can go lighter on those exercises. We just want to avoid compressing the spine

@@cyzz_lifesurely if you deadhang right after or stretch it counteracts what heavy shrugs would affect

@@Ethyro Your spinal discs are like hardened sponges. Once you squeeze the water and other fluid out of it (same way we lose our morning height during the day), that fluid stays outside the discs, and spinal decomp doesn't draw the fluid back in very easily. I could be wrong, but this is how I understand it

Yes

@@p.pripenryh how can sir

@@RCH_FF2010 Stretch multiple times daily and follow a lifestyle like an athlete

Yes you can. Everything you listed was good, but remember not to burn out. Doing everything every day can ruin your consistency.

They cause spinal compression, so I advise against them. That said, you can negate most of the "damage" by stretching and decompressing (hanging)

​@@cyzz_life before or after working out?

Bench is perfectly fine, it doesn't compress the spine. 195 cm is a big goal, but since you're so young you have a good chance. Optimizing sleep and HGH for height should be your 2 main priorities.

@@cyzz_life thank you bro.

@@SavageRabbit Honestly, I don't drink it myself, but from what I could find you should drink as much as you can every day. Make sure it comes from a reputable farm (with certifications, testing etc)

1.3 g/day. I go over this in my supplement vid

squats are good

Squats are a great exercise, just go lighter

That's really good news brother. I don't believe this is the case for most people

It will stunt growth, so reach out to your doctor or pharmacy rep and ask them about your specific situation. It's best if you clear up your skin naturally by sweating and eating antioxidants

@@cyzz_life Dude, do you think I have no brains? Do you think I haven't spent my whole life taking care of my skin, my diet, my sleep, etc. I've been restrictive my whole life to try to get rid of acne, I've been struggling with this for a long time, do you really think I'm like that and eat junk foods? my diet is completely rich in proteins, acne has nothing to do with diet, it just interferes if the person is already predisposed to that. Furthermore, studies on isotretinoin are not accurate or significant, there are many things to be discovered, stop spreading fake news.

@@cyzz_life I don't eat processed foods, I don't eat junk, I drink 5 liters of fucking water a day, I've suffered so much from this in my life that I can't describe it, I'M 15 YEARS OLD. THE ONLY MEDICINES THAT THEY CAN SOMEHOW HURRY GROWTH THEY ARE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY, ANTIBIOTICS AND MEDICATION CONTINUED FOR YEARS, your body will not stop growing due to low doses of a medication that was made literally from an already existing protein "A". The studies that showed that it affected height were cancer and NEUROBLASMA in massive doses and with continuous use for literally MORE THAN YEARS. acne no It's no joke, it's not just eating leaves and drinking tea that will eliminate acne, ACNE IS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM, INSIDE YOUR BODY, I give up a lot to explain.

That’s sick time to lock in. Sleep and HGH

Yeah I never knew about this either until now, and I'm 20. Spend my childhood being skinny fat until 15, but never grew after 15. Time for post-puberty methods ig

Sleeping with bands attached to your body to stretch you out at night. I have vids for this idea. It's theoretical, but I'm trying it out

I mentioned it as an option. I never told anyone to take it. It's a dangerous substance that works if you're still in puberty. Do what you want with this info

@@cyzz_life i searched and asked doctors about tamoxifen and one thing they never told me is that if 10mg is good or 20mg is good. what do you think

Ideally between 8-11 pm. The most important things are going to bed at the same time each night, and getting 8-10 hrs of deep sleep. Technically, the time at which u sleep doesn't matter as much. If u want to learn more, I have a vid on optimizing sleep for height.

Cut down slowly. Find your BMR, then subtract 500. This daily calorie goal should drop your weight roughly 1 lb per week, which is very safe. Any more, and your body won't get enough nutrients to continue growing. Try to lift and run (ideally optimized for height growth) to help the process.

Yessir. I use glass and metal bottles only. At home, I use a multi-stage activated carbon filter, but reverse osmosis works as well.

Hunger and pain in the arms/legs isn't indicative of growth, but it's possible that you're going through a late growth spurt. However, if you do confirm that your growth plates are closed (they usually do around 18-21), then look into post-puberty growth methods such as postural correction and banded sleeping.

Yup, bent over rows are fine because they don't compress the spine. Same with seated rows.

I'll be posting a vid tmrw showcasing that growth in your 40s (both for men and women) is possible. Growth past puberty is harder to do, but with the right methods, anything is possible. At your age, i would try to delay GP closure with resveratrol (it's natural) and optimize sleep + HGH. Once you turn 18 or 19, your growth will slow down drastically and you'll have to turn to post-puberty methods.

​@@cyzz_life I'm currently 16 with 6 months left before i turn 17. Will Resveratrol still work?

Don't stop going to the gym. You want to keep boosting your test and HGH. All I said was to not go heavy on the compounds

@@cyzz_life oky bro

Sleep and HGH. The 2 most important things to optimize at your age. I've got vids for both to guide you

Filter it. Activated carbon or reverse osmosis

@@cyzz_lifeare my growth plates closed I am 17 and like 3-4 months I grew 2cm from some months ago I didn’t measure again rn

My age is 15.8

At 15, you're very young. U can definitely grow more, focus on optimizing HGH and sleep for height (I have vids for both of these). As for bf%, I responded to u in your other comment. "Cut down slowly. Find your BMR, then subtract 500. This daily calorie goal should drop your weight roughly 1 lb per week, which is very safe. Any more, and your body won't get enough nutrients to continue growing. Try to lift and run (ideally optimized for height growth) to help the process."

Aye watch my vids, they'll guide you. At your age I think the best way forward is banded sleeping, but it is dangerous. Use with caution
