My Dad's 5'9, My Mom's 5'6.
My concern is because of athletics (height means a lot in sports) and I'm not certain I can rely on genetics. I'm the tallest in my whole family (extended too). I haven't gotten my full facial hair yet so I'm assuming that I'll still grow at least some. I lift weights and I've heard things such as weightlifting can stunt growth, although I've read no conclusive information concerning this. It does seem possible since it puts pressure on the spine. I want to be extremely tall. Julius Irving grew from 6'1 at my age to 6'6 at 25 so I use that as an inspiration but I know thats only his genes.
Question...how can I, by physical means (stretching, meditation, visualization...anything!) , maximize my potential height?

I guess you play basketball. The weightlifting thing totally right. My friend wanted to be like CA's Gov. Arnold S. and started weightlifting hundreds of pounds. If you lift weights, lift light and have more reps. I play indoor and beach volleyball and I'm 6'3, I did that and it totally works, I am 25 just like Irving. When I was your age I was 6 foot. So I slowly grew inches. When I was 22 I peak at 6'3. One thing to do is to continue exercise. Do what you've always been doing, and eat beef otherwise you won't keep growing (This is why vegetarians typically aren't tall!) Keep on Growing!

I could be wrong but I don't think it is possible for you to have any control over your height. Other than maintaining adequate nutrition and rest, you have no control over the height that is predetermined in your genetics.

She could desire to be provided for completely demonstrating the scientific technique. Many think of that technology is defined via fulfillment, yet fairly, this is purely as lots approximately failure. via arising this finally incorrect test and testing her objective audience with its impacts, she has eradicated a probability approximately the thank you to fulfill her aims the ideal way. on account that she had no sick purpose, there is not any could desire to punish her for a miscalculation.

Genetics is what regulates your height. You're already programmed to be a certain height. There's nothing more you can do.
