I heard that your wingspan is your full potential height . I dont believe that for my case when i was 5'11 it was 5'11 now im almost 6'3 and its almost 6'3. Is that weird or anything its just always been my height.

Its really weird. You should have stopped growing already.
Not to discouraging you. but I see that you are more than 200lbs.
And you are more than 6'2''. Its not teenager size anymore.
Person will experience growth spurt, if their muscle mass not yet developed fully, or they are really skinny, or they are really small.

from what I see it's impossible for huge people to grow taller, I have never seen one. When I was 14, I was 5'8'', I have a friend who is 6' / 180lbs.
He looks huge, but I don't see him growing anymore after that.
You are just among the luckiest one. I hope you can achieve your goal height. Good luck, big bro.

Must disagree with you muscle development and weight has nothing to do with growth.Personally i know plenty of ppl who ware big and muscularly developed all of their teenage years but they grew 2-6 inches after 16 years old.
As i am myself weight 187lbs with very minor strength training from time to time and my body fat is just 14%.It's all genes.

@ Chopdat
I mean the mass. because to build up muscle there must be testosterone.
Lots of testosterone in body inhibit growth. That's why steroid inhibit height growth.
the safe mass for your body is around bmi 23-25.
I see that you above it, it suppose that you have body fat above 14%. ( Don't lie)
I also see the words that you have a VERY minor strength training. That's really proof you are above 14%.
BMI theory I think is correct. Research shows that perfect BMI is 24.
You may also want to reduce your body mass.

Don't just disagree with me! when we grow older we tend to be overweight
(Slower metabolism, less active, and work for family). I am sure you can't stick to the exercise you currently doing now.

So for both of you ( Shawn and Chopdat)
Lose your weight, there is nothing wrong if you are slim.
Slim people attract more girls than chubby one.

Fine for sake of curiosity weighted myself 178lbs and did body fat test once again here are results:
Your Results

You have 16% body fat.

You have 13 Kilograms of fat and 68 Kilograms of lean (muscle, bone, body water).



And i don't lie as i have no real point to do so.And there is difference between lean and skinny.And id rather be chubby than skinny.Some skinny guys look really it looks like they gonna be blown away by wind or broken in half any moment.And testosterone doesn't inhibit height growth.
More testosterone=less estrogen less estrogen=later growth plate fusion

@Chopdat.
I know its useless to lie.
More testosterone mean you are already mature
mature = growth plate fusion.
estrogen is always less on male, estrogen affect female. And I am male, not female.
Of course we don't have menstrual cycle. Are you crazy? Once again, I am male not female. Regular female is not 6'1''.
If I were 6'1'' female, I would not be in this forum. Useless.
If you have lots of testosterone chance are your growth stop already.
The same things if you take steroids, you will build your muscle bigger, leaner, and improve it.
But your growth will be stunted. You can research it.
That's why people 20-30 years old not growing anymore, their testosterone secretion is at peak.
They can have sex better, and look more ripped.
That's why people after 20 not growing anymore at all.
I am positive dude, don't argue anything. I come with this from research.

Now wait a minute i didn't mention anything about females especially about that you are one

Well hmmmm i always thought it was and would it be better to post a picture of me and show hoe big i am. I am not really chubby. Also My arms have always been my height so no body elses are like that.

I have also grew.
I dont know if it could be my age or the cod liver oils but im 6'3 now . Wooo babbbby its in the morning but still.

Hate to bring this back up but check out Demarcus Cousins from the University of Kentucky basketball team. He stands 6'11 and his wingspan is 7'7. He is like 20 does that still mean he can grow that much
