What was your diet? I want to feed my kid what ever you were eating.

I saw this European study years ago that found that kids who did a lot of jumping in their youth had a better chance of growing taller.

I grew about 5 inches in high school to 6'4. Went to a grammar school that made kids do a lot of jumprope which I believe the study focused on. I dont know if thats been disproven since then. Might be worth looking into.

in many more words I basically just described that I jumped an awful lot in my youth... when I wasn't busy with school or activities, I was at my local y playing 2 hours of sports/exercising a day... I was generally there Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday for two hours a pop, and half of that time was playing a sport

in college, I played rugby, club baseball, flag football, rec basketball, racquetball and I'm probably forgetting some others... even if I wasn't jumping up and down, you are jumping laterally quite frequently

Wasn't the cross trainer you were, but in high school it was mostly BBall every free period I could manage, and on the weekends. That and running races with the NY Road Runners club. It does help.

this was me as well. I had a physical at the end of my junior year. I was 6'0 even right before my 17th birthday. 2 years later I was 6'4 by age 19. Dad was 6'0 and mom was 5'9 so no shorties but I am easily the tallest in my fam

I been 5' 10" since I was 13 so everyone here can go to hell!

Freaking doctor said I was going to be 6'2"-6'4"... so science sucks. Excuse my bitterness

Yeah it's possible. Simmons grew some so as young as Frank is there's still room for a bit more growth.

Same here....5'10 in HS....suppose to be 6'2

30 yrs later, I'm 5'11....in basketball shoes I'm 6ft even.

But if your mom is 5'9, then chances are the boys will be tall. It's all about the mothers height, and 5'9 is above the average height.

My wife is 5'7 with bothers 6'2
My fathers brothers and his father are 6'2 and taller
My mothers brothers are 6'2 and taller

I got two boys.....I'm still waiting for my 12 yr old to hit a growth spurt. He's average height. But his quarter back in 7th grade football is my height. That's not exercise or food....That's his father and especially his mothers height / genes.
