So just wondering if i exercise more (I'm in good shape now) will my final height be talller?

Why are you asking us scrawny comic nerds?

Look it up. Find a bodybuilding forum. Not us!

@lil_remains: Looked up there wasn't an answer. and how should i know that you're not a goddamn bodybuilder?

Do pull ups.

No, it won't. Height is basically determined just by two things: genetics and diet (milk, meat, eggs etc.etc). If your father and grandfather weren't tall then you won't be most likely either. Every bodybuilder would tell that everything that matters about physique is genetics, genetics and genetics. How tall are you btw?

@lil_remains: lol speak for yourself my dude.

This is off topic. He can ask whatever he wants.

@anakon4: turned 14 last week. 170cm at the moment

You better hope so.

Not really. Even if it does have any effect, it's quite negligible.

@anakon4: @the_living_tribunal_24: Its a joke you foreheads

Not really an obvious one.

Get some HGH

Nope. Sorry bud.

Nope, do as digger says and get HGH. Then again, there’s a bunch of problems with that to so you need to watch out and be careful.

Not really, working out a lot will encourage a slightly increased release of growth hormone but it's basically negligible. As I understand it your height is determined 95% by your genetics, 4% your posture and 1% other, that 'other' will include what you eat and exercise.

How tall do you want to be? At your age you could hit 178-180 cms just from natural growth assuming you didn't hit puberty early. Yoga or other aerobic exercise is the best thing you can do for gaining height.

@simppa: If you workout with/without weights doing high repetitions while avoiding too heavy weights and avoid straining yourself you'll increase your natural HGH and Testosterone levels. This will result in you growing taller than you were supposed to be. Working out with heavy weights and straining yourself will result in you potentially stunting your growth.

My old brother just worked out to get ripped, ran a ton, and ate super healthy and he's 6'3. I on the other hand, was very competitive and lifted so much just so I could say I was stronger, but this really hurt me because I wasn't really hitting high reps and I didn't maximize my test/HGH levels so I'm now 5'11

just run a lot and lift with high reps

Yes. By improving your musckalatur. It can add an inch or two to your height.

That's actually great. I am 21 and my height measurements range from 174-177cm :D With a bit of luck you will be around 6 feet which is around 181 cm by the time you turn 18 which is for male probably the best height.

Yes, if you are around that age.

@mutant1230: don't get me wrong I should be around average height (179cm at least in Finland). I don't "have a goal" I was just curious.

I don't think it can actually affect you that much, plus it probably has different results for each individual.

The Average Viner doesn't need to exercise to have 12 black belts, Olympic athlete physique, marine experience and a girlfriend.

That said, for normal people like you; no type of exercise helps you gain height in a litteral sense, that much is a myth. All SOME types of exercise can do is "add" some inches because your body will be in a proper, straight line, aka. you'll be able to stand properly, and that will make you look marginally taller.

Nope, it's mostly genetics. Posture also factors in a little.
