    Default Has anyone had significant growth spurts after age 16?

    I grew quite a bit after 16, though I'm not sure if it's significant.


    14- 5'5"
    15- 5'9"
    16- 5'10"
    17- 5'11"
    18- 6'0 1/2"
    19- 6'1 1/4"

    Today(19 1/2)- 6'2"


    Interesting how my growing slowed down, and sped up again. I've grown 4 inches since age 16. Anyone grow more than that?

    Well, I'm only 17 but I have grow about an inch and a half since I was 16, plus I have a tall family so I hope I can still grow enough. I'm 6"3 now and I really just want to be anymore between 6"5-6"8...I don't think I'll be 6"8 but that's the most I would want to be.

    I've always grown pretty gradual. I've never had a growth spurt, I've always grown in small parts and I'm 6'4 at 17 now.

    That's crazy. My dad was 6'4" at 13 and didn't grow a centimeter after that.

    Damn, i just realized i grew about an inch since the last time i checked, which was maybe 7 months ago. I figured I just stopped growin because i barely grew at all between my Jr/Sr years.

    I'm now 5'7" w/o shoes.
