there isn't much to say, all it does it thickens the cartilage. In my opinion, glucosamine is a must with any stretching routine u follow, if taken long enough it should make inches permanent. I still stand by stretches since so many have succeeded by doing them but u really have to be consistent. If lets say u stretch for 3 months and gain an inch or two and suddenly stop u will obviously loose it all because ur skeleton isn't strong enough to support it and ur body simply isnt used to ur new height it maybe because biologically u arent meant to be that height therefore ur body will do anything to go back to its comfort zone, u get what im saying? Also, ur age is an important factor if lets say u haven't grown for many years and u start stretching it will certainly take a while before ur body to respond so u gonna have to deal with that resisting force but the good news is that eventually ur body will respond to that force or stress and will do all sort of things to overcome that stress in terms of increasing blood supply to that area etc.. and thats when growth will take place but u gotta give it sometime this is reality and reality takes time. Wirey Spindell is an example he grew like 2 inches within a year I know many people who have actually grown by doing the stretches. I personally never tried coz as many of u out there Im looking for a quick fix thats just how I am but I know for a fact that it works. I personally knew a girl who grew nearly 4 inches within a year and guess how old she was?24 yeah no joke. All she did was, hanging , jumping, and different stretching exercises , didnt eat anything after 6pm ,and took amino acids before bed. She also said that she ate lots of cottage cheese . She looked like a different person . One thing for sure u gotta let go of that comfort zone once u feel uncomfortable thats when u gonna see changes happening to ur body.

hi, I'm curious about this 24 year old girl; was she skinny? was she taller than her parents? did she look younger than her age? what's her ethnicity? Did she do any Yoga?

she told me that she lost mad weight during the process around 20lb .
I dont know I never met her parents, she's a 24 yo so obviously that tells u that she stopped growing naturally lmao ( a while ago) so if she wouldnt do anything abt it shed never grow its not like she grew 4 inches overnight we're talking about1-1.5 yrs of hardcore work and strict diet.
She's russian , umm russian gurls tend to have baby faces so she did look younger but that goes with every russian gurl i met. so if u're thinking abt puberty umm pls dont
I never asked abt yoga, i cant get in contact with her I think she got tired of me lol i asked same questions like 10 times coz I couldnt believe it myself. anyways I layed out her whole entire routine and im not gonna repeat myself, just read it.

I don't think it's medically possible to be honest.

O my .. Koman , can you just disappear from this forum , i mean can you vaporize yourself or smthng .. seriously .. y u running around and spreading BS ...

She just had another growth spurt somehow...she did not grow 4 inches because of stretching. Why? Stretching does not induce bone growth in any way I know of. I'm not saying your lying, the growth was caused by other things in her routine. It was probably her diet and jumping.

For a girl, growth at 24 is pretty much equivalent for a guy to grow at 28. She had to have a very delayed puberty.

stretches help at any age

Wow there is lot of discussion..thanks i needed it.

Try not waste ur time, u just dont know how lucky u r to be at that age u still have a big chance to grow. When i was ur age I would always search for success stories and stuff like that but still wasnt convinced enough to try them out I and I regret it big time . take my word . You were stretching for two weeks and u stopped? how about if u stretch for a couple of months and then make up ur mind of whether or not u wanna continue but 2 weeks is not enough time. as for now u dont have any reasons to quit. U got it all, u're young, im sure u're healthy u just need to set ur mind That it.
