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.

Kilgore, what methods have you been implementing so far?
For now this is just the draft on what Im planning to do as I do more research I will finalize the regimen before I start doing/taking everything.
Also what are your current morning and night measurements?
Im not planning to measure myself again until maybe 6month-1year in. Or If I see visible changes. No point worrying about it on a daily basis. As I wrote I'm 5'8''.

All input into this thread has value. Whether its correct or not. If you want to add your own criticism of functional patterns I would love the read what you have to say. I do not know much about that topic yet.

@Norwegian-Mugabe Donny mogs me.

Kilgore literally does everything in his list it's very impressive
-
Doing massai jumps and sprints on grass (barefoot) made me feel the pressure in my tibia more. Which is what you want when microfracturing. You don't want the knees and ankles to absorb the pressure.
Also I was recommended kneesovertoes guy on youtube to help with knee issues and have been doing some of his basic exercises and they make me feel great.
I've been very busy lately and had not much time to spend on this stuff, but with summer break coming I will be able to dedicate the necessary time to see results.

I do even more but wont spill all the secrets.

@Kilgore so how is it going?

@3D
Here is an update.I have learned more about supplements after my first couple months here and I think taking too many at the same time will result in diminishing effects. Also taking K2 might not be good if you try to do this as bones becoming stronger and thicker would make them even harder to grow / lengthen. I do not take any of the listed ones for now.
This is my refined stretching method and I think it's is less time consuming + better than the stuff that was in my initial post.
-
Ab training: Good posture is highly dependent on your core. I already have abs (right now covered under a winter blanket) so I didn't do much more than 3x25 weighed sit-ups everyday to failure. (If you want to develop perfect abs add knee raises and weighed russian twists to failure as well).
-
Cobra pose x 2
-
Downward dog x 2
-
Twist torso while sitting in a chair (this gives me such a good stretch and release in the middle of my back especially)
-
Lay on this lumbar back stretcher for 5-10 minutes in the morning (helps with stretching and it also makes you keep your morning height)
-
Deadhangs
Fist time I measured myself was the start of July and I was 5'9 at night then. I have stopped doing stretches aside from the deadhangs + lumbar stretching (occasionally) back in August and I'm still 5'9 at night. Also I feel much better in general with all that tension released.
In the future I plan to learn how to do splits. Aside from becoming incredibly cool like JCVD it will also help me fix my anterior pelvic floor tilt which will also give me some extra height most likely. My case is similar to this lady's (see below) who had these results from learning how to do splits.
I did not really do the leg lengthening part very seriously but if I were to do it I would try raised seat cycling like this guy did. He told me it only takes 5-10 minutes a day.
I have some other health issues I have to fix for now so I haven't thought about this subject deeply. One thing I was thinking about is how growth plates in your shins don't close until your late 20s. Which would explain why basketball players grow even when they are in the league.

Well and here from an answer from well a tall woman about height, also I know sizes as a european in cm. So genetics does their magic but you can still grow above, with some help like yes K2/Quinon I do 20 drops, I do remember Giorgi said progesterone too helps in height but as a fitness all you talk is bolls. Mature your nervous system so you can get the proper nutrition to your body, bones, muscles and stuffs by Feldenkrais method. You will appreciate and experience your body and fitness efforts in a totally different way. I hope you give it a try... I really like when all around me go shorter, even though I freaked out at first and didnt know what exactly was happening, was I going taller or everyone else shorter. And by the way I was working on my stomach issues so height turned up like a bonus lollll I am 1,80cm by the way

Queen.
Yes, improving your health is the starting step to gaining height. I'll look into the Feldenkrais method later. Thanks.
-
@Kilgore Hey any updates on how it is going?
-
@William-Shat No updates as of now!
-
@Kilgore Didnt Georgi said or wrote something like vitamin D 5000IU daily .... I am not sure but lets say 4 weeks?
-
@Kilgore thoughts on cycling K2 and something like MSM? So focus on making microfractures for a period whilst stretching them out and then focus on strengthening bones for a period and repeat.
-
@nicemushroom17 My only real experience with K2 was back in February 2024. I took about 20mg per day and in 2 weeks I have gained 7 pounds. I didn't get much porkier in that time so I think it was my bones growing/filling out. I still dont think its a good idea to take it tough. As stronger bones will surely be harder to grow.

@Kilgore Was this just from stretching, banded sleeping and your protocol?
