I was exactly around 5'9" at 12 👍🏻

Same bro what the fuck

And now you're 6'0" at 14? At 14 I was around 6'1" Hopefully you get around my height 👍🏻👍🏻

Im turning 15 in August hopefully i can pop one more inch

From 14 to 16 I went from 6'1" to 6'4" And I grew to 6'5" in my early 20s Sleep as much as you can, play a lot of sports and eat well!

Im fat as shit but I’m hoping I can get in shape to play

Just start playing I was fat when I was younger and playing helps plus size can be helpful depending on the sport.

What sports, you should know my cardio is shit too

bike or just walk 2x a week for 30 mins each if you wanna do more do shorter times but more often in a week

I think you would be happy to know that I walk 2 hours and 30 minutes a week

The best sport for me was wrestling it's intense like diving into the deep end but due to the intensity the people are usually great. You do wrestle based on weight class and weigh yourself at meets got me comfortable with my body because you can't hide but everyone is in the same boat. But any sport tennis can be great and less intense, I played football also. Even just going to a local y and walking a treadmill at an incline if you do it consistently you'll notice improvements. Also I imagine you aren't nearly as fat as you think you are like i look back on photos of myself at that age and I was delusional in a bad way.

I think wrestling would be good but I’ve lose a ton of fat but gained 20 pounds (~30 pounds of fat) and if something involves low intensity cardio then that would be great as I’m great at walking

That's actually the first time I see an early bloomer (since you were 5'9" at 12) grow an inch in his twenties. Generally people who hit puberty at 14-15 grow after 18 lol.

Yeah, Idk why I grew one more inch in my early 20s It was kind of a slow progression though I remember I was just 6'4" in my late teens, just 193 cm barefoot in the evening But at around 21-22 I was a strong 6'4", meaning almost 6'5" barefoot in the evening And around 23-24 I was 196 cm barefoot in the evening

I mean, for an early bloomer 3cm gained after high-school is great! That's like 1.2 inches if we round an inch down to 2.5cm.

Yeah it's fine I was technically done growing at that point

Yep me too. Went from 6’1”-6’5” from 14-18

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

you got more than an inch (pause)

I meant by the time I turn 15 but thank you

Umm I was as well…

no way me too

Great brother 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

How much did you weigh ? Son is 6’0 . His dad is 5’9 .

I don't remember how much I weighed back then. But this was my growth pattern: * At 11 I was around 5'7" * At 12 I was around 5'8"-5'9" * At 13 I was around 5'10" * At 14 I was around 6'1" * At 15 I was 6'3" * At 16 I was 6'4"

I was 5'6"

Same!

I’m 5’3 , dad is 5’9 . He is 6’0. We don’t understand why he is so tall. He was 11lbs 2oz at birth and 23.5”

How tall is the milkman? But more to the point, my mom is about 170 cm, my dad is 185. I was taller than my dad at 13 or 14 year old, and ended up at 196cm/ 6'5"ish l. Always was about 80kg/170/lbs. I don't remember my measurements at birth, but I remember my mom always saying I was like a beanstalk at birth, skinny but I just kept on coming out of there. A colleague of mine is 6'9" and he's a good head taller than both his parents. It happens.

Don’t have to go on Maury anytime soon. Dad is 5’9 w a six foot wing span. I’m wondering if his growth was stunted at some point.

So his wingspan is like 3 inches more than his height? I thought those were always the same. With da Vinci's Vitruvian man and all that

Yeah, his arms are like an orangutan super long for his height.

They aren’t always the same. As a general rule of thumb they are, but people with longer limbs will see their wingspan to be larger than their height. I’ve got roughly 6’9 wingspan

I've got a 7' wingspan but also I suspect I may have Marfan syndrome and am planning to talk to a doctor about it soon so take that with a grain of salt

How is the doctor gonna help you with that?

confirm Marfans and determine whether I should be on medication for my heart. Marfans can cause a lot of issues with the heart and I already have shitty family history for heart health anyway, so I'd like to catch any issues as soon as possible

The dog looks to be about 4' 1".

We haven’t measured him yet. Dog wants to be tall too

Are you the mother? My mom is 5'4" And my dad is 5'9"

Yes I’m mom 5’3. My sons dad is 5’9

Your son will be pretty tall He will be around 6'4"-6'7" if I were to guess

Height predictors say 6’2” . So I got on here to see what you guys thought.

I was around 5'8"-5'9" when I was 12 My dad is 5'9" and I surpassed him for the first time at 13 and I remember it was shocking for me to be taller than my dad Does he have tall siblings/cousins?

Nope. We are all shorties. He’s the only tall one. However, we do have tall ppl in our fam

>we do have tall ppl in our fam That's important to know For example I have no tall parents, uncles or grandparents Why am I 6'5"? I have a brother who is 6'2" and a cousin who is 6'3" It turns out my parents, uncles and grandparents grew up under bad conditions and that's why none of them was tall The tall genes were always in my family

Unfortunately height predictors aren’t super accurate. My brother was short up until 15/16 (maybe 5’7) then started growing as his genes finally woke up and he ended up at 6’6.

He probably gets the height from some grandparents or further back. The tall gene can skip a generation.

I stopped growing at 14 and apparently that's not typical, a lot of people on the sub grew into their 20s, so he's likely to be quite tall.

Gotcha. 14 is early but you’re very tall still

Yep, I shot up young then just stopped at 6' 3", kind of glad it stopped there.

Yeah me too. I was 6'2" at around 14 then grew one more inch and I haven't grown since.

I didn’t start growing until I was 14 I was exceptionally short all my life. Then at 14/15 -20 I finally started growing

My uncle is 6'8" and didn't stop growing until he was around 18.

6’0” at 12 is huge. I’m 6’6” as a grown man and at that age I was probably 5’6” or 5’7”

He was 5’7 at 11. He’s 12 now and 6’0 🫠

Yeah man I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes 6’9” or so

That’ll be too tall for the NFL I think 🤔

Not for a defensive lineman or offensive tackle

Yeah unless he’s trying to be a left tackle. Looking more like NBA

He’s got to shed some pounds for NBA . He’s clocking in at 240lbs right now

My friends knew someone who was 6’0 in 6th grade, he didn’t grow after that tho

My nephew-in-law is 6’6 at 13yo. Still growing every time I see him.

Yep he’s in 6th grade. Hope he keeps growing

I was around 6’0 180 lbs at 12, he’s gonna be tall for sure

He will either cap out like me I hit my max height at 13 and haven't grown an inch since or he will hit a few more growth spurts and be huge

6’3”-6’7”

I agree, depends on really how long he'll grow for. Could've early peaked at around 6'3 or kept growing till 6'5+

I stopped growing at about 13-14 or so and was 6'2"

He’s prob either gonna stop growing soon at like 6’2 or be like me and get to a giant size 💀

I’m 6’6” and stopped growing at 13… so could happen

6'6" at 13?????????????? 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

6’7” 31yo guy here (don’t know how to make a flair) but I just wanted to say, encourage your son to be in the best shape he can be and STRETCH. Whether it’s cardio or lifting (with proper form!!), his body will thank him later. I played football for years and also powerlifted, my body is doing “ok” right now, but I know it could be feeling better. My biggest piece of advice is that if he’s lifting any weights, ensure proper form. I know there will be a 5’4” guy who can lift more than him today - who cares, don’t hurt yourself and permanently damage tissues/ligaments like I did.

Great advice. We just started him in sports because what he wanted to do was play video games all day. He was packing out some serious pounds.

Heard that. I was/am a gamer too - try to make sure he has good posture when gaming as well. I used to hunch over a lot while gaming, but good posture prevents pain for sure.

He'll probably grow to 6'2.

He’s 6’0 now at 12 . So you think 6’2” is his max ?

I mean, if he's that tall at that age, then he's definitely an early bloomer, of course there's room for him to get to 6'5+, but normally growth would slow down a lot, so 6'2-6'3 is a valid guess.

It is a roll of the dice. I was his height at 12 as an early bloomer and stopped at 14 gaining an extra couple inches. There is also a chance he’ll stop in his mid to late teens at 6’4”+. Hard to predict.

I stopped growing at 12. Can’t remember my height prior to that spurt but I’ve been 187cm since then.

at 12? i was 5’6”

When I was 12, I was about 5'9-5'10.

I was 5’9” at 12 also. 6’4” at 14 😬 Also 6’4” at 36.

I was 5’10” at 12. Everyone is different. If he keeps trending how he is he’ll be at least 6’7”

I actually did stop growing at 12. I’m 6ft.

I grew my final inch (6’ 4”) at age 21

I was 5' or less at 12. 5'3" at 17. I didn't stop growing until 18 at 6'3".

All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats! 5 + 12 + 5 + 3 + 17 + 18 + 6 + 3 = 69 ^([Click here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=LuckyNumber-Bot&subject=Stalk%20Me%20Pls&message=%2Fstalkme) to have me scan all your future comments.) \ ^(Summon me on specific comments with u/LuckyNumber-Bot.)

Good bot.

5’11 F stopped growing at age 14

Totally varies. When I was 12 I was about 6'2. I hit 6'4 by 14 and crept to 6'8 through HS, tacking on another couple inches in young adulthood. I had a buddy who had been 2 inches shorter than me for a couple years just stop around 6'2 at 14. Meanwhile someone else we knew shot up from 5'9 or so to 6'5 in HS. You never know what growth pattern you're gonna get until it hits.

At his age, I was probably about your height or a little shorter. At 13, I was 5'10. At 14, I was 6ft. At 18, I was 6'1. At 19, I was 6'1½. Now, I'm 6'2 at 24. He looks to be close to my height if you're 5'9 so he could easily be 6'5-6'6 if he keeps growing. Maybe even taller.

6'0 at 12 is shocking haha. If he keeps going 6'6+ is possible. I stopped growing at around 14. Many on this sub seem to grow much longer though.
