M, 29, 170.5cm tall – hoping to be taller. Friends around me are at least 180cm tall.
Recently, I came across a youtuber- a*tem*s with a 1 year old video about some height gain video via stretching exercises.
As I scrolled through the replies, I am amazed at the number of positive replies claiming that they grew a few inches taller after the exercises.
I am curious about what are you guys’ opinions on this? The claims do not seem to be fake because almost all the replies are successful testimonials with hundreds of likes. I am still having a hard time finding a negative comment to disprove the claims.
I am kinda desperate now because I have been playing basketball for 3 years but to no avail. Being someone who has been outtalled and bullied at basketball courts, I am on the verge of giving up on b ball… All the 6 footers will be challenging me to a game of basketball where I will definitely be disadvantaged, to the point I cant even play the game by myself in peace….
Here are what netizens think:
- bro, you are 29 already. I’m afraid the ship has sailed for any chance of a second growth spurt. sure you can try whatever methods but those aren’t actual gain in height, just ‘temporary stretch’, like how our height can vary over the day. live with it. your self esteem is not determined by your height
- Bro… trust me.. u don’t want to be so tall… u will encounter problems like what I encounter… walking in the mall and accidentally knee into small kids knocking them down and the parents will death stare you.
- The fact that you’re “having a hard time finding a negative comment to disprove the claims” tells me you probably have more important things to work on as an adult…
- My teammate in the local national basketball league is 10cm shorter than you but still a very impactful player. Heart over height!
