Height Gain

[Vanquish59]

Hi guys, I'm 5 8'5 barefoot and 5 9'5 with shoes. I would be very happy to gain another 2 inches in height. I'm doing all that is possible....
1) Sprints, Swimming, Jump Rope
2) High protein and calcium
3) Sleeping at least 8 hours a day....
4) Stretching

I'm 24 years old. Just turned 24 actually. I feel I'm a late bloomer and I'm those types that would grow to 26 I believe.
dad is 5'6, mom is 5'5. We have some tall people in the ladder so I might get some genes from there.

I just wanted to ask if any of you have gained height around age or later? Late growth-spurts? Kind of gives me hope. Also, If you do, can you tell me what you ate
and what exercises you did. Thank you guys.

At 24 yrs old, it sounds like your height is where it's going to stay...

how long ago was your last growth spurt? Honestly, at 24 you are an average 5' 8" and taller than your average family member.... HOPING to grow more at your age is not a healthy thing to do... I would find another thing, like building muscle or achieving academic achievements and other such things to hope and try towards.... I am not trying to be cruel but you are 25 % through your life span... actually closer to 33% statistically speaking.... I am very sorry but you are 99.9999999 % done your growing. There is the possibility when you hit about 30 you will grow wider across the shoulders but it does not happen to a large percentage of men.

I do hope that these truths do not curb you from the exercise and nutrition that you say you have been doing... these are excellent pursuits!!!

You can feel bad but I have to tell this that after age of 24 there is possibly no chance of height growth as I am 26 and I consulted to family doctor that I want to increase height a little more and what to do for that when I was 25 so at that time he only told me that your height increase is fixed to a particular age its natural after that it is not possible so don't feel bad I only wanted to face you reality.

Well height growth is partially natural, medically it was proved that a normal man 24 is the last age for height growth and 18 for woman. So it is quite tough to gain height after 24. But with the help of artificial support a person is able to gain height but it is risky to adopt artificial formula as it brings several side effects.
