Still got time to grow?

Question

Hey guys, Was wondering if I still got time to try to grow to my full potential. I'm 16, 5'8'' and my mom is 5'5'' and my dad is 5'10''.

So I was wondering are there any ways to find out or tell if you are done growing or still have time to do so?

And if so, are there any methods I can try?
I've heard basketball helps, but what kind of basketball, just keep jumping and shooting hoops?

Thx

Answer 1

you grow untill you are 19

Answer 2

yeah you have 2-3 years. Basketball makes your fingers grow longer. Playing the violin made my left hand fingers longer. Football makes your right hand fingers longer (if right-handed). Running marathons is the worst possible thing to do if you are trying to grow. It compresses your vertebrae and stops your leg growth. Light running and pick an energetic sport. Do a lot of light physical stuff (as much as possible without a marathon work-out) and eat a lot. If you start to gain weight (fat) cut back on the carbohydrates. Meat! Meat! I just like it. I'm 5' 10" and i'm 15. My dad is 5' 9" and my mom is 5' 5". They have no idea why i'm so tall. Good luck!

Answer 3

you can still grow at 16 i think guys can grow until they are 18 nor 19.. you will probably be as tall as your dad or maybe a little taller... good luck.. i dont think any of the things you mention help your growing.. just be sure you get proper nutrion and sleep ..oh ..dont forget the milk! my son just turned 17 and he is 6 feet i am only 5 feet2 and his dad 5 feet 8.. he didi most of his growing just this laSTyear so you still have time to grow!

Answer 4
