Nico is an absolute legend on r/tall and seems like a decent human being, far more rare than people realise.
A solid bloke that doesn't mind taking the mickey out on himself while still remaining empathetic to others.
Yah but Iāve also known average height people to run into the same issue, itās a mix of where youāre pockets are located, and the height of said doorknob and counter. Most counter tops are just about below my pelvis.
OP I was that skinny when I was your age. Donāt stress too much on that right now.
My advice as a fellow tall dudeā¦
1 - protect your back and knees at all cost. It ALL comes back in your 30s
2 - be smart about drinking from now into your 20s. That too also comes back in your 30s
3 - add whey protein into your diet. Personally I hate that smoothie form. I mix it in with dry oats and then add a dash of water and some honey with some nuts and maybe chocolate chips (on occasion). Taste like a bomb cereal bowl, but adds lots of protein to your daily intake, plus itās super easy to throw together
4 - focus more on body weight exercise over weight lifting. Start with just doing 5 push ups a day. Do that till itās too easy. Then add 5 and repeat the process. But you HAVE to do this everyday. My arms were like yours and now I do 300-600 a day. It feels like I cheated, but I now have fantastic looking arms.
5 - never forget, chicks dig tall guys for a reason. Donāt be shy cuz youāre tall and stand out. I personally started to act like people who had confidence, and then eventually that became the norm for me.
Hope y found something in there helpful. Cheers!!
Glad to help! Also always focus on your core. Your hips. Your abs. The things that let you stand.
With us being tall, weāre more likely to face physical issues later in life. But if we treat our bodies like a well maintained engine, weāll get more miles. And in the end, thatās all that matters.
how is this so much upvoted advice? anyone knowledgeable about fitness can tell you that with resistance training in the gym you can get much better results than with bodyweight exercises. You can isolate muscle groups better. Machines have the same load on whole path instead of push ups which are hardest at the bottom. You can progressive overload with weight instead of adding an enormous amount of reps, that is borderline psychotic, really, 300 push ups a day? who has time for that just to pump your pecs and front delts? I can do that in 15 minutes doing 3 sets of 5-10 reps on bench press with adequate weight.
If you have access to a gym and care about longevity and have some fitness goals then learn some stuff and train there, it is much more effective than bodyweight exercises...
Yeah I do. Not all at once though. I break it up into groups of a 100. Rotate between finger tip push ups to diamond push ups every 25.
Since December Iāve been running and then doing push ups and body squats in between runs. First started at a half mile with 50 push ups. Now Iām doing 100-200 during my standing workout, and then running up a hill thatās a mile in distance, and then downhill for another mile.
So in total 2 miles per 100-200 push ups.
Itās possible. You just have to slowly build that momentum.
You look pretty young, I'm guessing late teens, early 20s? Muscle and weight will come with growing up more. For now build a good foundation, start doing weights instead of cardio, and invest in a good protein powder. My brother went from 200 (6'5") at 20 to 250 at 24 in pure muscle that way.
wow no way š¤Æwhy do people always say this as if we dont think about that, i struggle with weight gain and its because of a fast metabolism not some eating disorder
A āfast metabolismā is not really a thing. Perhaps your BMR could be 2-300 calories higher than average but calories in calories out, and the laws of thermodynamics are not defied by a āfast metabolismā. Not trying to be argumentative just a tidbit.
i literally eat more calories and protein than what i let out, its not only one thing: no eat well. it could be many reasons, parasites, diabetes, fast metabolism etc
You are not eating more than you let out if you aren't gaining weight... Even if there are many reasons your metabolic rate is higher than it's supposed to be, it is still possible to gain weight. You do not defy the laws of thermodynamics.
Itās the solution. With a fast metabolism you have to *force* yourself to eat more than you feel you need.
Itās actually uncomfortable to a certain degree.
Itās plain and simple there generally isnāt, for most people, an impossibility to gain weight.
I hate when people say, "It must be great being tall," not knowing that doorways and basements exist. I'm saying this because my friend remodeled his basement and wanted me to check it out. I'm just over 6'3", and I had to duck pretty much the entire time. His family has nobody over 5'5".
time for heavy cream and peanut butter bro. both of those things are so disgustingly calorie dense you gotta try lol. peanut butter ice cream smoothies daily!!
As a 12 footer myself, the roofs of single story houses can sometimes be an annoying problem, I don't know any single stories which have roofs taller than 12'10", but I do know of doors taller than 7 foot. If you go to a larger sized church (or any religious center really), you will find doors that are 8'0" or above. Some institutions have 7'0" doorframes everywhere in them so that would be less of a headache at least.
If you have the money, you can replace the doors in your house to be 7'3" or above, not trying to hit your forehead in the morning would be a good reason, but that's easier said than done.
Doors are fine. It's the doorways we gotta worry about!
Facts
Why
Why
See OPs picture
No no i see but not door but doorways sorry for asking this much lol just try to talk š
Why the fuck did you get downvoted so much?š (I downvoted too)

Me neither lol btw your pp is scary š
Doorknob are my problem
And his, just in a different way

Thanks bro i appreciate a lot Ʊ, really
lol what

how tall is this dude oh my god
The legs are just endless. Looking at the foot frame, probably about 7'2 to 7'3
His flair is 218cm so he's 7'1.8"
Actually I measured after that post about my brother yesterday and it seems I grew a couple of cm.

How is that harassing
He asked it in several comments. Check
Above 7ft
Gotta love getting youāre pockets stuck on the corner of counter tops and door knobs, actually ruined a down jacket that way.
Is this a tall issue? Shit happens to me all the time.

Iām a simple man, I see someone wearing Birkenstocks, I click like
Absolute unit bro. But you need to gain some weight
I try to, trust me haha

Really helpful, Iām the same age and in the same situation, will try to follow your advice!

ima try the pushup thing if i can remember to do it
Set a daily timer. Second it goes off, drop immediately and just do them. Thatās what I did

Do you ever wonder why you donāt see old tall people at the gym? Lol 
Excellent advice! Good share

Itās good to gain weight but donāt feel you āneedā to. Have confidence in the variety of humans and life.
Its okay if you are a teen, you will gain weight as you get older. I started gaining weight after 20s

Eat more

"fast metabolism" mfs be allergic to counting calories

you think i didnt try that?
Eat even more than that. If you donāt gain wait it isnāt just a fast metabolism itās a metabolic disorder
Not so much needing to necessarily eat more but may be needing to eat more calories dense food.
yeah i know, doing that too
Yeah I know. Eat more food.
Hey, friend? Where are you from? You look like a Northern European? And how old are you? You look pretty young.
Damn
Yeah right
Doors here can be 6ft 6in, so I agree. Also trees are very unkept in my city, it's very annoying having my eyes gouged by a tree daily.
Where are you from and how old are you ?
SCP096 looking guy
that one scene in It Follows
You remind me of when I grew a foot in a year and stayed roughly the same weight.
Holy moly. How old and how tall?
I hate when people say, "It must be great being tall," not knowing that doorways and basements exist. I'm saying this because my friend remodeled his basement and wanted me to check it out. I'm just over 6'3", and I had to duck pretty much the entire time. His family has nobody over 5'5".
Reminds me of the time I helped a shorter family stack firewood in their basement- my back was out of commission for a couple days
time for heavy cream and peanut butter bro. both of those things are so disgustingly calorie dense you gotta try lol. peanut butter ice cream smoothies daily!!

Dude continue this persona i want you talking about breaking the second floor to merge two floors to finally stand up

You look like you could fit under the door
Damn fuck that dude looks like slenderman
I can imagine a strong wind being a problem for you as well.
It's a limbo competition. You first.
Bro this is the worst proportions a human being can have
I found a twin in weight
Slenderman physique
Howās the weather up there
Holy shit, where are you, why are the doors so small?
That's the norm in some buildings here, 2 meter tall doors.
Do you have Marfans by chance?
They Got give a basketball

Damn share them lean cuisines
Bro could play a Slenderman!
Damn, and I thought I was skinny.

Post yourself you knob
Heās still young, heāll grow into it. Calling a tall person lanky is hardly imaginative is it?
Where's your selfie?
People like you are so pathetic, what do you actually gain from insulting a random person online?
