Mate your only 22 yrs old so your body is more resilient to whatever you throw at it, but if you’re looking for something that you can take with you until the day you die and keeps you as fit as can be, then you need a style of training that will keep you healthy and pain free for life. It’s better to invest in building up a resilient body NOW and keep it running like a well-built, smooth, efficient machine than to build a clunky, inefficient painful/awkward one.
Functional Patterns is more a response to the fact that the styles of training seen in bodybuilding culture ended up hurting way more people than it helped. The people who promote it and get away with that style of training blast steroids and/or TRT to mask the fact that the style of training is not regenerative and sustainable. Functional Patterns promotes a style of training that is in line with our paleobiology and thus most appropriate, most healthy, most safe, and most functional for humans to do.
You worship the wrong god. The judeochristian god is a delusional man made invention from a primitive people who didn’t understand reality. The only God you need to worship is Life and this Universe, and by following first principles and it’s laws will you actually see positive change in your life. Anything that you do which is against the laws of nature and what evolution designed us for you’ll pay a price for.
I was raised Catholic and firmly believed in god and all that, would pray every day neurotically for him to make me a better soccer player and for the girls in my class to like me, none of that shit worked. I was a subpar athlete and unattractive to women. You know what actually makes me a better athlete? What makes me more attractive to women? Prioritizing high quality nutrition, training properly, keeping my cognitive faculties sharp, body/mind/emotional soul grounded and capable.
Elongating and decompressing the spine are great ideas, but you have to lock those gains in. If you just passively stretch it out, your body is just going to sink back to where you started, on top of the fact that stretching weakens your body over time as those muscles which are lengthened lose their elasticity and force contraction potential. You want to practice stretching your muscles in coordination with a functional movement pattern to adapt your body properly. Practicing things like standing transverse abdominal retractions and bird dogs will build core stability while elongating and decompressing the spine.
You can do what you want, and I’ll leave you alone, cuz it’s your life, but sacrificing health points for anything is really stupid, but I’m not surprised given your age and the kind of blind folly that youth tends to give.

Yes, we have the same idea.

Okay. Interesting.

As I said. I don't believe in god, its a joke. I dont think I believed in it for a day in my life. On top of that my parents are the biggest CINOs I have ever seen.

Completely agree.

I will look into this more. What is the best resource to look into?
and I’ll leave you alone,
I made this thread to discuss ideas of growing taller and to see if and how much is possible. So the more info you share the better it will be. The more we debate the closer we get to the truth. Thanks for your input.

Lmao nice. I’ll step down from my high horse and chill the fuck out.
How’s your posture? If you have any spinal distortions, either scoliosis or kyphosis or lordosis, correcting those should add height. This would be the lowest hanging fruit imo. Maybe an 1-2 inch gain depending on how bad it is.
If you want to dive into the whole system of Functional Patterns, you’d have to buy their 10 week online course, which lays the foundation for what it means to have good posture, and some basic correctional exercises for getting there. Outside of that, in general, elongating the spine, expanding the rib cage, correcting kyphosis/lordosis and achieving neutrality with good core function is pretty much what you’re going for.
I’ve got nothing to add on how to hack your biology and do the miraculous of growing bone laterally as opposed to radially. The mechanisms for radial bone growth once growth plate fusion occurs can be readily replicated, Im not sure about lateral bone growth past growth plate fusion. Outside of surgery, I’m highly skeptical it’s possible.

I'd go a lot higher on Vit K, 5-15mg MK4. Good luck man!

I dont think its that bad.

Yeah I think this too.
As I said I am pretty stiff and cant even do any of the yoga exercises I listed properly. So that makes me think that there is literally room to grow.

@onliest Yeah I figured that too 5mg+ is what I will go with. I'm thinking should I take some orally and also apply to shins?
Good luck man!
Thanks

@Kilgore It was sent to me recently, but I haven't tried it yet. It's from the Skyscrapper method from aestheticprimal on IG. Apparently you should do this as much as possible or even every day, but also listen to your body and let the microfractures repair themselves if need be. You could expect to see results in a few weeks if you're diligent and optimize your sleep, etc.

What a name.

Interesting....

@Achille Do you think the stretch bands should be like 10lbs, 15lbs, 25 lbs or should they be like a normal band? Also would it make sense to have your feet point downward when strecthing?

Any thread worth reading on this topic? (functional patterns)

If you’re into black pill and heightmaxxinf you might enjoy seeing this looksmax from them

I haven’t seen them make anyone grow taller tho lmao
Here’s some articles from them in which they explain their methodology and why they take the stance they do on biking and yoga

The guy improved massively. I already have great facial features: positive cathal tilt, normal chin, high cheekbones, jawline etc. so that not needed for me.

Will read thanks.

@Runenight201 Charlie banned me for it

Forums dead now anyways. Thankful Brad started up this one

He only mentions "tight" resistance bands. I believe it’s better if the bones are stretch horizontally.

please tell me this is posted in a satirical mode.

This thread got hijacked by a Functional Pattern cult member. Reminder this about Heightmaxxing! Kilgore, what methods have you been implementing so far? Also what are your current morning and night measurements?
