I'm 5'6" and 160 lbs. I just turned 19 and I wanted to know if there's a way for me to get a few more inches naturally? Are there excercises that I should be doing? Please provide some sources if possible. Thanks.

Hey man, don't feel so bad about yourself, I'm 5'6 too, my friends told me you don't stop growing until you're 21, but they're probably trying to make me feel better. The point is, there are people worse of than you, but at the same time they're not necessarily in a bad situation. I have a cousin who's shorter than me, but he's got a hot short wife and the cutest baby girl. I have a cousin who's the same height as me and he's always got the hottest girlfriends. I have a friend who's about 5'5 and he's freakin awesome and has a cute girl. Also, I have a couple of friends about my height who are always getting some action. I also read on rolling stones magazine that the guys on the polo team or whatever are like 5'2 and they're the life of the party. Michael J. Fox was only like 5'4 and he's freakin awesome, have you seen Back to the Future, he really does play the guitar. I actually know a short guy who plays the guitar incredibly, seriously, I mean better than Hendrix, and he used to be in a band but he left it to spend time with his daughter. The point is, it's not about the height man, it's about the content of your character, and It would help if you look good. Try working out and taking care of yourself to build up your self esteem.

You'll be surprised how often i hear this question, at 19 most men have completed their natural growth - Any products on the internet which claim to make you taller are scams - even though I am by no means short I have tried many of them and so have my friends - for experiments sake - As well as exercises such as freak stretches - the best that could happen is that you pull a muscle - the only sure and guaranteed way to get taller is to have cosmetic limb lengthening surgery which apart from being extremely painful is extortionately expensive - Height unfortunately is just one of those things we are stuck with - but I suggest you get enough sleep (because we grow in our sleep), eat well (healthily) - Don't smoke or do any other stuff that harms your body and wait it out till you're about 21 (Many people do experience a growth spurt in their 20s) so all hope is not lost.
