I just have a question what are the disadvantages of Micro Fracture and Ankle Weights Technique. Is it also the posible that you can shrink doing those exercises or not just a question
can you please send me a email to dutch_legend@hotmail.com
Thank you

Sorry dude but I don’t personally email, if I answered your question through it the other visitors wouldn’t be able to read the answer.

Some day the micro fracture technique doesn’t work because the micro fracture are very small and even if you stretch them out with ankle weights the height gain wouldn’t be that much, I have seen it works in most cases and if it doesn’t… at least your using ankle weights to stretch out some cartilage from your knees.

There is no disadvantages of that technique, I also thought at first that it could actually make me smaller from so much jumping and sprinting but your leg bones are already solid so it cant get smaller, what can temporarily compress itself though is your spine from all the pressure put on it, thats why after the spriting/jumping leg workout I do inversion hanging for 10 minutes before strapping on the ankle weights (micro fractures heal in a bout 10-30 mins).

Hope this helps,

Matty

Thank you very much,
you have helped me a lot.
I just have one more question. What If just hang from a bar for 10 minutes does that help. I don’t have the equipment for the inversion hanging.
Thanks,
Sam

yep regular hanging is as effective as inversion, I personally do inversion cause I cant find a bar tall enough that will allow me to swing my legs while I hang, you should do about 25 reps of 20 seconds each, if you can strap ankle weights (or weightlifting plates) while you hang thats even better.

Hey,
How much have you actually grown doing all of this?

[Reply]

me personally about an Inch an a half but these exercises are used by hundreds of other people, search google for a few forums about it, some have grown up to 3 inches in the early 20’s.

Hi there Matthew M

Will the following decrease the progress of the spinal and leg exercises to increase height

• all 28 general stretching exercises (in the morning )
• the use of the inversion table (in the morning)
• cycle to work everyday.
• Doing heavy lifting at work

Thanks

Hi Michael,

I personally like to do my stretching in the morning as well as theres fresher air and it’s less hot, I’d say you should use the inversion table 2-3 times a day for about 10-20 minutes at a time and if you can hold weights even better, cycling to work would be great as long as your use a raised seat.

Heavy lifting will probably compress your spine so once you get home after work you might want to do some spine stretches and hanging after that to decompress it again before you go to bed.

Wish you the best ;)

ey I have a question.
I am doing the stretching exercises, knee exercises, as well as rasing my bed 2 inches. And every morning I noticed that I become taller even today I checked I was 177cm (5 10inch) and than a few hours later I checked and I was 174cm and I am sure I was not making a mistake because in the morning I checked 3 times and now I even checked 3 times. Swo I was wondering why that happens and if it is normal
thanks,

Sam

Yes, that’s very normal i’ve been experiencing exactly the same situation as yours, i measured my height just right after i get out from my bed it was 177, in the evening i measured again it goes to 174( that’s y i said exactly same situation as urs :D ) I guess sitting for too long isn’t good , i can just shrink by sitting on a chair for like few hours. I’m gonna try to do this micro-fracture exercise . Goodluck mate!

If you guys had read the full article you would have seen I do mention this…it’s called morning height, gravity hasn’t compressed your spine yet when you wake up till a few hours later, its completely normal so no need to worry ;).

[Reply]

Hey Sam,

hehe yes that is perfectly normal, it’s called morning height, you spend all night laying down so your spine is decompressing since gravity can’t push it downwards when your in that position so when you wake up you will have gained 1-2 even 3 inches in some people.Then during the day gravity takes the toll on your spine and compresses it down, the best time to measure yourself is at night just before you go to bed, then you will really know if your growing.

Matty :grin:

Hey,

thank you very much I didn’t know that at first. I have learned something new again. Thank you very much. I will now measure myself every evening before I go to bed.
thanks

I am 12, and if i do these excercizes will it effect how I grow later on in life? Should I wait to do this when Im full grown?

[Reply]

I think you should wait buddy, at your age putting too much pressure on your extremities may have some consequences, wait till your past the final growth years 18-19.

[Reply]

hey! thanks for typing that up :smile: umm this may be a silly question but i was just wonderin if you can get those ankle weight strappy thingys at any regular sports shop?? and if i were to buy one would i ask for just ankle weights or is there a more ‘formal’ name for them?? thanks in advance!

[Reply]

is 16 a good age to start? btw, i am 5′5

[Reply]

im 16 5′3 :sad: …what is the most i would be able 2 grow? and for how long (in months,or years) should i do this exercises,i do all of the individual stretches 2 times a day,thanks

[Reply]

Basic rules state if your under 18 you probably should just do stretches as you dont want to damage or stop any of your limbs from natural growth, as for No, do stretches only and maybe a bit of hanging, you can get a couple of inches in about 6-12 months if your consistant.

[Reply]

thankz Mathew M,just one more question my legs are the ones that seem to need the most growth,they seem a bit short for my body,what would u recomend me 2 try for best results?thanx

[Reply]

are ankle weights still okay?

[Reply]

NO: I think stretching your legs can help you gain a few extra inches from there, the spine seems to be the easiest to grow through stretching so you might have to wait a couple of yrs to use ankle weights, what you can try now though is a kicking/jumping routine or bicycle,

Mo: As said to No ankle weights can damage your knee joints when your still growing, its better to stick to what I recommended to him.

[Reply]

Hey there

Thanks in advance , this guide is really helpfull.

I have to questions for you…

I’m 22 , do you think my legs might still grow up ?

I usually attend to the gym doing some weight lifting , does that interfere in any way with growing up ?

Thanks again
James

[Reply]

oh ya and I take “Superdrol NG” It’s a testosterone booster+ CLA, which the CLA shouldn’t matter, but idunno about the “NG” supplement along with working out 6 day’s a week. about an hour an a half of working out a day.

[Reply]

Hi, 10lb to each foot are nearly 5 kilos to each. this is i think is too much? isnt it?

[Reply]

something else, if i just use ankle weights without exercising before the use, just to gain some cartilage, i can grow taller or now?

[Reply]

George, ussually stretching after exercising makes your muscles grow more. What will you be using the ankle weight’s for? hanging from a streight bar?

[Reply]

hello,

i am 21, 5.4′ and half. my leg portion is short. i have read about using ankle weight and other stuffs. i want to know if theres and suppliment which i can use to grow?? kindly let me know. thanks

[Reply]

[Reply]

Matthew M

thanks for your reply. Actually i was askin about HGH Suplements. will they work??

thanks

[Reply]

im 13 and 5′7 what are the best excersies i can do to become much
taller.

[Reply]

Hi,
Im 14, and I’m around 5.2, and i was just wondering what exercises/sports i could do to help me grow taller. When i was a baby, my parents did this test to see how tall i would be as a adult and the results said that i would be 5,2 , which is the height i am now. My parents are average height (5.5, 5.6) but my Grand-Fathers have been 6 feet, and my uncles are also quite tall, however most of the women in my family are less than 5.4. I was wondering whether this will effect my growth as well and if it is possible i could grow taller?
Thanks
Danielle XD

Hello, I’m 15 and 3/4 years old and I’m 5′ 4.5″. Do I still have time left to grow and what exercises do you recommend? I can’t do the knee exercises right? Right now I’m planning to do all the stretching exercises, half in the morning, and half before I go to bed. Is this a good idea? Thanks so much.

[Reply]

im 18 in a half years old male and im about 5 foot 7 and weight 115. i have gained most of my height in recent years and im wondering if someone my age has time for natural growth. if yes when should i start these routines and if not how much growth would a gain doing these excersis?

[Reply]
