Hamza I respect you helping these young men out but you saying 5'4 to 6'1 is just misleading. It makes it sound like you did that after puberty. You might as well say (0’0 to 6’1) (in the womb)
I’m also 6’1 and was small in high school 5’4 till around 16 then had a massive growth spurt. I didn’t really do anything, I do remember being tired all the time and very hungry but obviously that was my bodies reaction to it wanting to grow. I agree selling a dream that height isn’t almost completely genetically determined is detrimental to young guys as it could make them think they are doing something wrong when really it is set from the start. Also growth spurts do not happen at the same age for everyone. I was very late in puberty and didn’t stop growing till I was 18/19 but some of my friend were basically at there adult height at 14.
Guys chill, back then he actuelly sad that he was about 5 6 when he was 16 ans with 17 he had a growth spurt. It was the little diacussion with wheat whaffels.
Facts bro there’s no true way to tell how little or how much you will grow, even during puberty, you just need to eat well, maybe bulking will help but there is no proof out there to show. Just stay healthy
@@Urfriendgothisbrainexposed weight lifting is actually one of the best factors to grow. It's only when you damage your growth plates which makes you not grow
(The message before this edit is down below) Message for you guys as well, this will be the most important message you will probably hear in your life. It's the Gospel. Jesus came 2000 years ago and died for your sins on the cross. Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” Me and you sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and due to that, we deserve death, but Jesus took it for us that we can live an eternal life in heaven. Romans 10:9 - "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." God bless you! Summary of the vid for y’all: 1. Bulk up, eat a lot 🍎 2. Do weightlifting 🏋♂ 3. Get more sleep 💤 4. Get sunlight ☀ Edit: *just learned genetics are 60-80%* but this stuff 100% helps and will get you more inches higher
@@jjboss7896 cos they don’t have food in abundance. My mum is 5’3 and my dad is 5’5 and I’m 5’10 even though I been eating a really bad diet throughout my life
I was always around 5'8, and until age 17, I did nothing of exercise or eating well, my father, and no one else in my family is bigger than 5'9. When I started sleeping more, going to the gym and eating better, I started growing again. At the moment, I've gained a little bit of weight (I'm an ectomorph, so gaining weight isn't as easy as it seems), and now I'm 5'10, and still growing. Don't give up hope, you can still grow. Edit: after posting this, I stopped growing for about a month, but a short while after that, I grew again, this time about half an inch. Then I got into a really stressful time of my life, and for about two months, I stopped growing again. Currently, I am just above 5'11, which means that I have grown again, and I am still growing at this moment, even though I am almost 18 already! Dont give up trying to grow, because it will be worth it in the future!
@@weirdflex8158 Just because your genetics say you can grow to for instance 6'1, doesn't mean you will actually reach that height. Only when the right conditions for growth are met (exercise, sunlight, enough sleep, eating healthy), then you will grow.
For myself: 1. Sleep. Get at least 10hours of sleep so an 10,5-11hour bedtime 2. Eat enough. Bulk. At least 100cals above maintenance daily. Just remember these 2 things. 1. Don't eat/consume sugar. 2. Don't eat/consume processed food ( McDonals etc.) Calcium is crucial for bones. Make sure you get AT LEAST 1,300 mg of calcium daily. 3. Lift weights. Go hard. Build up musculature to support the growing bones. 4. Sunlight. Once you finish school, get outside. Just literally go outside and bath in the sunlight
number 1 reason he is telling the truth and teaching us is, his videos are not entertaining there is no editing or such its just him teaching you, and I love that!
I started self improvement at 16, and I was 5 9 flat back then (175), at 17 I grew from 5 9.5 - 5 10.5, and at my 18th birthday I was 5 11 exactly, I don't really check anymore, I could be 5 11.5 or 6 ft now. But weightlifting and sports + sleep and nutrition is seriously the best way to help your growth.
@@yellowindian5134 You shouldn't just weight lift, in fact I'd recommend you to do less if you're 15-20 years old, try running swimming or basketball, all really good cardio, but never overwork yourself tbh, that's the worst thing and you wont 100 percent grow, I'm just lucky cuz im a late grower but id def be shorter if i didnt try anything healthy
Something I’d like to point out is, height isn’t one of those things where the taller you are the better, no. There is such a thing as “too tall”, anything after 6’3” it gets inconvenient because you can’t use public things that comfortably anymore. Even travelling becomes a little inconvenient.
@@ErenYeager-kr9gu sexual market value. basically girls like taller guys even if ur ugly. not to sound blackpilled but being short is quite detrimental to ur smv. regardless, you should focus on what you can control like fitness and ur business and stuff cuz that will help boost ur smv too
I agree. Doing all of these things won’t guarantee you’ll be tall, but it will definately help you reach your maximum growth potential. Even if your not as tall as you wanted to be, you still will be taller than if you would have been if you had lived unhealthy
Yes but sadly people think they will outgrow themselves a lot. Unfortunately our height is based on our genetics. We can’t be taller than someone who’s tall if we don’t have the genetics
i love when hamza speaks to us like this. the low quality camera close up makes it feel like a facetime call so it feels alot more closer and connected. keep doing these videos please!
Before I went on self improvement, I was somewhere around 5'9 to 5'10 and now people are telling me I'm 6'0 or 6'1. Before this, I hadn't gone through a growth spurt in a while (I am 19 years old). Doing exercise daily, eating a lot and sleeping 8 hours a day can significantly affect your height, especially when you're young and not quite done with puberty yet.
Bro, same case, I am 17 now, I am 5'9.5 and haven't had a growth spurt in a while, I am eating good now, have been doing weight lifting, have gained around 10 kgs in 4 months, I just wanna ask, if masturbation affects growth, or actually if you masturbated during these years of your growth, I am trying to limit my mustarbation, I have been quiet successful in doing so recently, and what else can I do for growing tall, help me please.
@qazq oaoo I know for sure that I was a little over 5'9 in January of this year. At the time, I was 18 and a few months away from turning 19. I started self-improvement in early June and by mid-october people were telling me I was 6'0. I don't really have a precise timeline of my growth in height during self-improvement as I never really measured my own height during this period unless I was asked to do so by other people since I figured that would fuck with my mental health more than anything.
@@animememes7531 Luckily I've completely gotten rid of masturbation early in my self improvement journey using the easy-peasy method, but I am pretty sure it had no effect on my growth whatsoever. In fact, I think the one thing that affected my height the most was the changes in my alimentation. I started eating more and eating cleaner stuff. Nutrition is probably the thing that will affect your height the most. It's for that reason that people in developed first world countries who have an abundance of food tend to be much taller than people from third world countries where malnourishment is way more common. All in all, if you have healthy life habits and you're still below 20, chances are you might grow taller.
I was 6ft 1 at 22 after finishing Uni so nearly 23 and within about half a year from Summer until January I grew an inch which was helped by doing alot of lifting +having more protein in my diet imo.
@@SaeedG1999 you’re good height bro I always wished I was 6 ft 2 but we can’t control our genes but I’ll make a vid on how to be comfortable in your own skin
Im 5ft 8 and i feel less than a humain being let alone a man. As much as apply self improvement in my life i can feel masculine enough especially in front of females
I am from southern part of Asia(India) . both my parents are below 5'4, I am 18 now and is 5'10(and still growing) and weights bit lower than 160lb. I always been a fat kid from childhood to like 16 & now I am kinda bulked with muscles. Eating a whole bunch of food(junk and nutritious food) have surely helped me to grew more taller. Even my sibilings are like 5'1 but the only person who is kinda tall in my family is my uncles 5'8, 5'9, 5'10 . so the conclusion is that eating all whole bunch of food during our growth will surely help to increase our growth and being active might also surely help.
my school has me waking up at 6 but you are so real for everything you say man and you have a great way of telling the information you say, just keeping it real with viewers. 🤝
Hey Hamza, Thank you a lot for those videos dedicated to the teenager, I started the self improvement journey at 13, and never had help for people my age, I'd like a lot more of those !!
thanks man I did a lot of research about growing taller and a lot of what i found was just too basic or too complicated (medical side of growing taller) and at 16 I found this vid its just straight forwards and easy to understand. I appreciate your work thank you.
That is somewhat True. I had problems on growing when I was a kid, cause I took way too much medicines and I fucked up my GH. I went to the doctor and I took gh for 3 years. There is one important thing that I want to share with you and hamza didn't said. Exercise is important as fuck. Weight lifting isn't enough. Go for high hearth rate and exhausting stuff. Volleyball, basketball, soccer, run, bycicle. Whatever you like. When you weighlift you primarily hit your muscles. To grow you need to hit your bones. Cardio is more important than weights. Still hit the weights tho. This is a specialist advice. I went from 141cm to 171cm (genetical problems ok)
@@user-hz4rh7py9kfrom 2015 to 2018. There are more things i would like to share but some guys would try to argue against, i don't want to start a discussion. But there is a limit of time that you can grow. It can be anywhere between 13 to 26 It's called "Bone age". When your bone age hits 15 years old, you stop growing (you can grow just 1 or 2cm later that but it's unlikely. It's kinda of a delay you had). and this is tricky cause your bone age can advance 3 months in 1 month, or it can advance 1 month in 6 months. You can't predict it. You need to go to a doctor and make a bunch of exams.
@@xhafts i mean that its not enough. Teens need to move. Cardio! Run, jump, whatever! You need to stretch your body; this didn't come from me. It's was my doctor that explained this to me ok?
My fam has always been taller than average, but I'd suggest ensure, the formula that kids/grannies drink. Not sure whats in there, but it deff helps height.
- Intermittent fasting - Stretching - Intense exercise daily (jumping/plyometric exercises are very good) - Lots of calcium, protein and Vitamin D - Low insulin - Enough sleep
Keep your confidence man, you can grow many inches in a few months. I went from 5'3 to 5'6 in a year and around 2 years later, I'm 5'10 and still growing. Yes, I am 14 and a bit, but it's the same whenever you hit your growth spurt. (If you wanna know, my Dad is 6'4" and my Mom is 5'0")
Everything in this video is actually pretty accurate from what I know, even if it helps you get half an inch it's still something. At the end of the day height is genetic so do what you can but don't let it ruin your confidence or whatever.
think one of the reasons that didn't let me grow much (I'm 20 and 168cm) were my bad habits as a kid, spent whole days on the computer, eating junk food.. tho height has to do with genetics of course but what I mentioned didn't help for sure.. despite all that, it's okay to be short boys, what you should do is try and change the things you can change, start working out, be productive, invest your time and will of power... As a short guy, women were never a problem to me. Stay strong brothers
I’m Scandinavian, I’m 5.6, it’s genetics dude. And my parents are 5.4 and 5.7. But I do not care much tbh. That’s also masculinity, I do not cry because I’m 18 and 5.6…
Thanks for sharing bro, i wanted to ask did you ever date a girl who is taller than you? Im maybe 177cm and I really do like girls who are taller than me.
@@Shadow.behind.mountains my mom and dad are the same height as urs except that my dad is a inch taller. And I’m like 5 foot 10 or 5 foot 11 at age 16. I think school is slowing me down cuz I’m not getting enough sleep. I get like 9 hours at most and 8 is probably the minimum
Alot of what you say hamza is accurate and really helpful, but height is mostly genetics. But its true that you need proper circumstances to reach your genetic height.
thank you for this video Hamza, Ive been really down about my height recently, being 5'5 at age 17. but knowing that it is possible to grow more and have a growth spurt in your later teen years, and seeing all the comments about people shooting up at my age has really helped me. ive been lifting weights for quite some time, but the other two pieces of that, eating and sleeping I was slacking on, and especially eating I used to be anorexic which stunted my growth. Im hoping I can really maximize this last year of time I have to grow, and make it to a somewhat normal height
Great video. I did grow up in Holland, where as a UK person I was noticeably shorter than the 6'1 standard for Dutch people. When at 16 I was still quite short, and knew naturally I'd only hit the UK standard height of 5'7. With the last growth spurt in my late teens, I hit the vertical traction machines at the local gym constantly, which I am sure got me to the 6'0 I am today. Wish channels like yours Hamza were around back then, but I did make a lucky decision to do the stretching machines in the gym. How many UK males are stuck at 5'7, when they could have been 6'0 with the right training. Hope the word gets around about what you can do for your height...😢
I'm 20 right now, and I wish I heard this when I was 12-14-15. Anyone who is in that age rage right now. Please take this man's advice. He changed my life forever for the better.
Hamza abi thank you so much I had ED for two years at the age 13-14 and my puberty stopped too. I am 15 now and healthier than last year. I also grow a little but not that much I wanted to thank you THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
thank you for the advice hamza, but i think it’s almost over for me. I’ll be 18 in 5 months and i’m only at 5’2”. never had a growth spurt, my parents are 5’1” and 5’8”. it’s going to be hard to grow taller at this age, but that doesn’t mean i’m not going to at least try. 💪
true but bro forget height, the things he said also increase testosterone, happiness, less stress, better muscle growth etc. So even if you forget height its good to do these things.
Well I don't know if this was a coincidence or not, I'm 18 years old and I started weightlifting since August of this year and in the beginning my height was 173cm(which is 5'8) till yesterday I measured my height and it was 175cm (which is 5'9). As I said it might be a coincidence or maybe not, but I'm happy with that :)
I'm 19 and 5'9. I grew 2.5 inches from 16-19 through better sleep and starting an apprenticeship. My diet was and still is alright, probably way better now, but I'm glad I was able to get to a medium height. I do have a potential genetic cap, as some of my family are really tall and others are quite short. I know some guys who didn't exercise, were really skinny or chubby etc, basically didn't sleep and they literally all grew to be quite tall or at least a medium height.
@@apdosamy7435 pretty sure you would have to work hard to not grow after 16 unless u hit puberty at like 11 or 12 since u grow the fastest the first 5 years of puberty
in the past year I grew from 5'6 to 6'1 and I didn't change a thing, I've always eaten well and exercised bit I never used to seem to grow, keep in mind as well I was 16, now 17. Just don't forget you might not have hit puberty yet and maybe your growth spurt hasn't kicked in, just don't lose hope king
I have been through puberty since like late 11 or early 12ish and I’m not 14 (15 in 2 months) I don’t think I really got a growth spurt besides 1 year after puberty which was from like 5’0 to like 5’3. I’m currently 5’5 and have been this height since age 13
@@samitxh i thought the same thing i basically didnt grow from ages 12 to 15, when i turned 16 i really started growing, really interesting honestly, just remember that growth isnt linear its fluctuates up and down
Another reason why working out is good is because ( with good form ) it’ll help you have better posture. Which could contribute to helping you reach your maximum potential height
The single most important video I've ever needed in the last 2 years finally dropped by my most favourite youtuber. Thank you so very very much brother 🙏, this means a lot to me.

im 14 right now and ive always eaten a lot, im not slim, nor fat and i started weightlifting this year. This does wonders bro, im tallest out of my friends right now, and its going good
Hamza I respect this and about sunlight. Im a 14 year old man that mostly learns how to use blender and to script I do everything that you said but I dont go outside as much except for runs at morning, so I dont get a lot of sunlight. But this summer me and my dad are going to be on the sun all day building a whole house from scratch so its a hard exercise dropping and lifting bricks and all that PLUS its on a sunny hot day, its a mad exercise so yeah thank you so much for the advice now im even more excited for him to come back from america and I dont hate summer anymore just because of you.
I agree with the all the advice you gave, at the start of 2022 I was about 178 and now I'm 181. And bulking in your teens will get you taller, right now I'm cutting down and when the summer of 2023 is over i will begin bulking again so i can get even more taller
@@yellowindian5134 No, I’m not Bill Nye but it stunts your growth only if your not getting the right nutrition in order to grow. To make sure you eat your protein and lots of veggies and sun
same, I fucked up my growth spurth by playing fucking 24/7 video games, never going outside, only sleeping 2/3 hours a day, eating not that much, not looking well after my health, barelly working out and stopped playing football to from my 14th. I'm 180cm now but I fucked up my genetics by it, I coulda been way taller ( I believe), when I was born I was also a bigger kid and docters told my parents that I had great potential of becoming very tall. But welp, messed that up, wish I found out about hamza earlier in my life I'm 17 now, 18 in 5 months. 180cm, wish I could be around 190
@@user-hi6vg4fz5j the same, played video games and just ate junk food till I was 22, I started to change my life and go to the gym 1 year ago, im 23 now and 179 cm. I feel like I could have grown 3-4 cm more but nothing I can do anymore , haha!
I was very short in my younger youth, from 5-13. The shortest in my class actually. I started participating in sports like swimming, football. Now I'm 17 and 180cm tall Like 5'10. Now i am the tallest guy in my class. Eventhough genetics paly a huge role in growth you can still grow 5cm - 10cm if you do the right things like eating right, sleeping right, exercising, weight lifting. I think i might grow 4cm more untill i reach my 20s.
Thing is I have never bulked (I’m probably underweight) yet I’m 6’2 and my Dad is 5’11. My younger brother eats way more than me and more weightlifting and is only 5’11. Genetics play a huge role. For reference I’m 23 he’s 22.
Yep it’s mostly genetics and you can hit your potential by essentially not being completely malnourished. So even though you are underweight its most likely a result of those calories going to your height. My brother who has dwarfism (the treatable type) took Growth hormone from 4-18 and is even now incredibly skinny. The doctors didn’t think he would make 5’8 but got to 5’11 my parents asked why and they said that essentially his genetic potential was higher then they thought. As my father is 5,9 lol
Ive done all of this since I was 13 and nothing changed. The doctors can also conclude that none of my growth plates are damaged nor do I have any hormone disorder if anything, my testosterone levels are through the roof yet, I have been the same height for 3 years and barely taller than my dad. I am aware that these factors can still significantly change your height as height is not entirely based on genetics but my case says otherwise. It is unfortunate.
quick message for those who are short: don't hate yourself or think of being short as a bad thing, why would it just be a bad thing? it's a trait with pros and cons just like being tall, or anything like that. Keep in mind as well, there were world leaders that were very short, I'm sure you have already heard of them so I won't say it here. Point is you shouldn't see being short as a bad thing if you can't change it, though there are things you can change about it.
Also, note from a longevity standpoint: shorter people have been shown to live longer. I'm not quite sure about the biological basis of this, but it might relate to growth factors such as mTOR and increased cell division, i.e. increased risk of DNA damage and cancer, which longevity drugs have been produced to inhibit. However, there are other benefits to being tall - it's really just about balance.
I think people back in the day were a bit shorter on average too, but also this whole height hysteria seems to have become problem after the advent of social media, where women started feeling like 6 foot+ is the average height and anything below that is short even though it's actually average, attractive women became spoiled for choice. But yes, being shorter than other men shouldn't be a reason for you to feel any less, there seems to be a lot of tall guys who feel that they are better than you simply because they are tall on social media, fuck them, work on yourself. Use that underdog energy as fuel.

My great grand parents my grandfather was 6,4 and great grandma was 5’6 but my grandfather is only 5’8 and dad is 5’6 I think your lifestyle plays the biggest role for your body to know you need more height cuz your living a difficult life I’m 15 and 5’10 hopefully I’m still growing
Thank you!! i’ve been eating lots and exercising a LOT but only saw minor growth compared to my effort, and i’m sure it’s because lack of sunlight because i never go out before 7 for playing.. I’ll try hard to get as much sunlight as possible from now on!!
Hey Hamza, I really NEEDED this Video today! Just turned 17 last week and since I started getting worried of not growing any more (172cm 5‘7.5) For all my life I’ve eaten too little, slept not enough, barely did any exercise and ignored the sun outside my room. For the past 2 months I have been living healthier than ever before, I just hope it’s not to late for me and I can still reach 5‘10 / 178cm
I believe males stop growing around the age of 21 so don't worry too much. I was in a similar position to you, didn't prioritize sleep nor did I eat enough. As long as you optimize these things then you are bound to grow taller.
@@Frenbench it’s not guaranteed for every guy to keep growing until 21, some guys stop growing at 14-15 while some can grow until early 20s it really depends on genetics.
Do the 4 things Hamza said you should do, but I will give you a tip of mine. Stretch your body every morning, especially your legs, back and neck. I have grown alot of this so do this and you will reach 6'0 / 183 cm.
The sleep thing is really real and i think its most important from all of 4 steps along side with bulking up. example : At the start of 2020 i was around 146 cm then the quarantine hit and there wasnt school just homeworks and i had like 10 - 12 hours of sleep, home nutrition not some shit from school cantine. And at 2022 I was around 170 cm.
It may sound like broscience, but there is a plausible mechanism for why “bulking” reasonably can help u be as tall as u can be. Oestrogen prevents growth plate closure and if u’re eating enough food u will increase ure testosterone (which will convert to oestrogen) which will prevent closure, and with heavy lifting and general being athletic u’ll put urself in a better position for GH levels. The combined effect will maximise ur growth. Doing the opposite will mute ur growth.
Huh? Where did you get this information from? The main hormone responsible for closing and ossifying growth plates and speeding up the process of bone development is oestrodial, a form of oestrogen. Having high bodyfat increases oestrogen production and speeds up growth plate closure. Having low oestrogen slows done the process of both bone growth and growth plate closure, so you'll grow slower but for longer. Whereas high oestrogen gives you quick growth spurts but you won't grow any taller afterwards.
When I was around the age of 2 I was 2'3 and very sad about my height due to hypergamy on the playground. Now I stand at a proud 5'7 as a fully grown manlet.
Making sure you are getting the proper nutrition and your hormones aren't out of wack is important for proper height growth but guys, don't get too caught up in it because height is predominantly genetic and there is no way to change your genetics as of now. Some people will experience crazy growth spurts while others may experience a slower one. No one person is the same, just make sure you are keeping your physical health in check.
Remember male growth plates fuse slower than females, girls typically finish between 16-20 and boys typically 18-22, and your spine and legs finish last. At 17 years old I was 174/175cm and though slowly now at 20 I am 178/79cm. Many world level athletes and even random celebrities have had slight growth spurts through their late teens and early 20’s. Look at Leonardo DiCaprio he looked 15 until he was 22 and was under 6’ until he was into his mid 20’s.
@@horrorshelter my guy, you're just insecure, 175 is an ok hight, I'm 169 and am still grateful that im not 160 like some unfortunate man in the comments, you're not short, you're hight is okay, no need to give up your left ball
Hey Hamza, can i do calisthenics and resistance band training instead of weight lifting to grow taller? Also, do pull ups and hanging help me grow tall as well?
I hit the height of 6ft at the age of 15 (for reference my dad is 6'7 and my mum is 5'11 I'm one of the shortest in my family) , I was in and out of hospital then and struggle with my physical health but I haven't grown at all since then and what was said does apply to me, I'll try implement some of these changes thank you hamza
man i’m a 5’5 senior and i can say what makes me the most insecure is seeing people in a lower class then me being taller then me looking down at me it gets to my head entirely to much especially since i literally don’t know anyone my height at all
I’m 16 Currently 5’7 in a half or 5’8 I have facial hair and I have a disease called Precocious puberty ,Do you think I can still grow I pray to God that I still can
I saw this video last night and tried to read a book before sleeping. After reading a few pages, i literally fell asleep on it. My sister came later and got it away from my face lol. Thank you Hamza, amazing tip.
im 20 and 5ft 3, i dont think theres any hope for me but the only thing that is hopeful for me is that i developed very late with most stuff like puberty and my teeth so maybe ill have a late growth spurt but who knows lol
personally, I'm 16 and started lifting properly around 6 months ago and only started making proper consistent progress once I began tracking everything I eat and making sure I'm eating enough and i've made great progress on my bulk so far so if you are struggling to gain weight try tracking for a while and you might realize you aren't actually eating as much as you think you are
If you're done with puberty, do some back and hip stretches. One thing I do is have my wife pull each of my legs while I hang on a pullup bar. Do some quadratus stretches on a hyper machine. My favorite is to reach above and lean backwards then slowly learn forward and touch your toes.
This really leads to maximising your genetic potential. If you are like 5’4 , over 20 years old and have done all of this then it’s highly likely that you’ve reached your genetic potential for height.
I was lucky enough to find out about self improvement when I was 12. I started going to sleep at 6:30 pm and waking up around 5 for gym. Everyone thought something was wrong with me haha. It all paid off today.
Im 18 years old and Im Currently 5'6. Its painful looking around at my peers seeing that they're all taller than me. I also did used to smoke weed but not too crazy. Im fearful that may have stuned my growth. I Look the same as I did my freshman year of highschool. Ive been working out since November and Ive seen no changes. Im losing hope, Any Advice?
you probably got a better posture and of course bulking can make you a bit taller because you bulked. also people at 19 can still pick up an inch genetically if they're lucky, or you're just exaggerating your growth
Bro eating in a calorie surplus will have no effect whatsoever on height lol. As long as you are eating a healthy amount of food you will hit a genetic limit that varies between everyone. The shortest and tallest people on earth aren’t what they are because of the amount that they eat lol
Allot of people say that it is just about sleep, diet and genetics. However i would LARGELY disagree, the amount of anabolic hormones that are relised during resistance training is insane, you not only increase baseline testosterone, HGH and IGF-1 levels in your body but you will start to increase a hormone known as CALCITONIN a very important hormone that triggers the absorbtion of calcium inside of the bones making them taller and more dense. Not to mention that you’ll need to keep your THYROID healthy, it is a gland that produces not only CALCITONIN but also other hormones like T4 which regulates the metabolism of the entire body keeping you from getting fat. To keep your thyroid healthy it is important to get enough iodine throw diet, air or supplements. Iodine is largely present in the air close to the sea or beaches, make sure to consume enough quality meat and fish + use iodized salt or if there is no opportunity just buy a supplement
Hamza I respect you helping these young men out but you saying 5'4 to 6'1 is just misleading. It makes it sound like you did that after puberty. You might as well say (0’0 to 6’1) (in the womb)
yea i found it funny how even tho he talks abt misleading thumbnails taking advantage of ppls insecurities he put a misleading title lol
I’m also 6’1 and was small in high school 5’4 till around 16 then had a massive growth spurt. I didn’t really do anything, I do remember being tired all the time and very hungry but obviously that was my bodies reaction to it wanting to grow. I agree selling a dream that height isn’t almost completely genetically determined is detrimental to young guys as it could make them think they are doing something wrong when really it is set from the start. Also growth spurts do not happen at the same age for everyone. I was very late in puberty and didn’t stop growing till I was 18/19 but some of my friend were basically at there adult height at 14.
Guys chill, back then he actuelly sad that he was about 5 6 when he was 16 ans with 17 he had a growth spurt. It was the little diacussion with wheat whaffels.
Facts bro there’s no true way to tell how little or how much you will grow, even during puberty, you just need to eat well, maybe bulking will help but there is no proof out there to show. Just stay healthy

(The message before this edit is down below) Message for you guys as well, this will be the most important message you will probably hear in your life. It's the Gospel. Jesus came 2000 years ago and died for your sins on the cross. Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” Me and you sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, and due to that, we deserve death, but Jesus took it for us that we can live an eternal life in heaven. Romans 10:9 - "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." God bless you!
Summary of the vid for y’all:
1. Bulk up, eat a lot 🍎
2. Do weightlifting 🏋♂
3. Get more sleep 💤
4. Get sunlight ☀

When I started sleeping more, going to the gym and eating better, I started growing again.

Then I got into a really stressful time of my life, and for about two months, I stopped growing again. Currently, I am just above 5'11, which means that I have grown again, and I am still growing at this moment, even though I am almost 18 already!

For myself:
1. Sleep. Get at least 10hours of sleep so an 10,5-11hour bedtime
2. Eat enough. Bulk. At least 100cals above maintenance daily. Just remember these 2 things. 1. Don't eat/consume sugar. 2. Don't eat/consume processed food ( McDonals etc.)
Calcium is crucial for bones. Make sure you get AT LEAST 1,300 mg of calcium daily.
3. Lift weights. Go hard. Build up musculature to support the growing bones.
4. Sunlight. Once you finish school, get outside. Just literally go outside and bath in the sunlight

Something I’d like to point out is, height isn’t one of those things where the taller you are the better, no. There is such a thing as “too tall”, anything after 6’3” it gets inconvenient because you can’t use public things that comfortably anymore. Even travelling becomes a little inconvenient.
Agree. I have banged my head on the locals handholds too many times
true but height drastically increases ur SMV if ur a guy and i think most people would agree that having a higher smv is worth a slight inconvenience.
@@ItsMeRuff SMV?
@@ErenYeager-kr9gu sexual market value. basically girls like taller guys even if ur ugly. not to sound blackpilled but being short is quite detrimental to ur smv. regardless, you should focus on what you can control like fitness and ur business and stuff cuz that will help boost ur smv too
yeah, but it's objectively better to be 6'2 rather than 5'10
I agree. Doing all of these things won’t guarantee you’ll be tall, but it will definately help you reach your maximum growth potential. Even if your not as tall as you wanted to be, you still will be taller than if you would have been if you had lived unhealthy
Yes but sadly people think they will outgrow themselves a lot. Unfortunately our height is based on our genetics. We can’t be taller than someone who’s tall if we don’t have the genetics
i love when hamza speaks to us like this. the low quality camera close up makes it feel like a facetime call so it feels alot more closer and connected. keep doing these videos please!
Before I went on self improvement, I was somewhere around 5'9 to 5'10 and now people are telling me I'm 6'0 or 6'1. Before this, I hadn't gone through a growth spurt in a while (I am 19 years old). Doing exercise daily, eating a lot and sleeping 8 hours a day can significantly affect your height, especially when you're young and not quite done with puberty yet.
When you were 5'9"!
Bro, same case, I am 17 now, I am 5'9.5 and haven't had a growth spurt in a while, I am eating good now, have been doing weight lifting, have gained around 10 kgs in 4 months, I just wanna ask, if masturbation affects growth, or actually if you masturbated during these years of your growth, I am trying to limit my mustarbation, I have been quiet successful in doing so recently, and what else can I do for growing tall, help me please.
@qazq oaoo I know for sure that I was a little over 5'9 in January of this year. At the time, I was 18 and a few months away from turning 19. I started self-improvement in early June and by mid-october people were telling me I was 6'0. I don't really have a precise timeline of my growth in height during self-improvement as I never really measured my own height during this period unless I was asked to do so by other people since I figured that would fuck with my mental health more than anything.
@@animememes7531 Luckily I've completely gotten rid of masturbation early in my self improvement journey using the easy-peasy method, but I am pretty sure it had no effect on my growth whatsoever. In fact, I think the one thing that affected my height the most was the changes in my alimentation. I started eating more and eating cleaner stuff. Nutrition is probably the thing that will affect your height the most. It's for that reason that people in developed first world countries who have an abundance of food tend to be much taller than people from third world countries where malnourishment is way more common. All in all, if you have healthy life habits and you're still below 20, chances are you might grow taller.
@@dwaynethecuckjohnson2.08 what did u mainly eat?
I was 6ft 1 at 22 after finishing Uni so nearly 23 and within about half a year from Summer until January I grew an inch which was helped by doing alot of lifting +having more protein in my diet imo.

Hey Hamza,
Thank you a lot for those videos dedicated to the teenager, I started the self improvement journey at 13, and never had help for people my age, I'd like a lot more of those !!
thanks man I did a lot of research about growing taller and a lot of what i found was just too basic or too complicated (medical side of growing taller) and at 16 I found this vid its just straight forwards and easy to understand. I appreciate your work thank you.
Did it work his advice??? Like eating on a bulk
@@Aznfiliiit will work
Brother , this the most genuine video on this topic !
That is somewhat True. I had problems on growing when I was a kid, cause I took way too much medicines and I fucked up my GH.
I went to the doctor and I took gh for 3 years. There is one important thing that I want to share with you and hamza didn't said.
Exercise is important as fuck. Weight lifting isn't enough. Go for high hearth rate and exhausting stuff. Volleyball, basketball, soccer, run, bycicle. Whatever you like. When you weighlift you primarily hit your muscles. To grow you need to hit your bones. Cardio is more important than weights. Still hit the weights tho. This is a specialist advice.
I went from 141cm to 171cm (genetical problems ok)
Interesting bro. Over what period of time did u grew from 141 to 171
@@user-hz4rh7py9kfrom 2015 to 2018.
There are more things i would like to share but some guys would try to argue against, i don't want to start a discussion.
But there is a limit of time that you can grow. It can be anywhere between 13 to 26
It's called "Bone age". When your bone age hits 15 years old, you stop growing (you can grow just 1 or 2cm later that but it's unlikely. It's kinda of a delay you had).
and this is tricky cause your bone age can advance 3 months in 1 month, or it can advance 1 month in 6 months. You can't predict it. You need to go to a doctor and make a bunch of exams.
Weights build bones a ton what u mean lol
@@xhafts i mean that its not enough. Teens need to move. Cardio! Run, jump, whatever! You need to stretch your body;

Keep your confidence man, you can grow many inches in a few months. I went from 5'3 to 5'6 in a year and around 2 years later, I'm 5'10 and still growing. Yes, I am 14 and a bit, but it's the same whenever you hit your growth spurt.
(If you wanna know, my Dad is 6'4" and my Mom is 5'0")
Everything in this video is actually pretty accurate from what I know, even if it helps you get half an inch it's still something. At the end of the day height is genetic so do what you can but don't let it ruin your confidence or whatever.
think one of the reasons that didn't let me grow much (I'm 20 and 168cm) were my bad habits as a kid, spent whole days on the computer, eating junk food.. tho height has to do with genetics of course but what I mentioned didn't help for sure.. despite all that, it's okay to be short boys, what you should do is try and change the things you can change, start working out, be productive, invest your time and will of power... As a short guy, women were never a problem to me. Stay strong brothers

im 14 right now and ive always eaten a lot, im not slim, nor fat and i started weightlifting this year. This does wonders bro, im tallest out of my friends right now, and its going good
Keep doing that trust me
Did you hear about puberty? It hits boys about the age of 14
Weightlifting not only helps the muslce but strengthens the bones as well. + Testosterone and growth hormone helps grow as well.
Hamza I respect this and about sunlight. Im a 14 year old man that mostly learns how to use blender and to script I do everything that you said but I dont go outside as much except for runs at morning, so I dont get a lot of sunlight. But this summer me and my dad are going to be on the sun all day building a whole house from scratch so its a hard exercise dropping and lifting bricks and all that PLUS its on a sunny hot day, its a mad exercise so yeah thank you so much for the advice now im even more excited for him to come back from america and I dont hate summer anymore just because of you.

I agree with the all the advice you gave, at the start of 2022 I was about 178 and now I'm 181. And bulking in your teens will get you taller, right now I'm cutting down and when the summer of 2023 is over i will begin bulking again so i can get even more taller
Dont cut bro
Why the fuck will you cut
bulk up until you reach 73kg
and maintain it Until you 18
Hey can anyone tell me how does weight lifting increases height?
I have heard it compresses spine and decrease height.
Isn't it true?
@@yellowindian5134 No, I’m not Bill Nye but it stunts your growth only if your not getting the right nutrition in order to grow. To make sure you eat your protein and lots of veggies and sun
I wish I saw this some years ago, but of course not possible, we're the same age
You're saving many kids, good work, Hamza
same, I fucked up my growth spurth by playing fucking 24/7 video games, never going outside, only sleeping 2/3 hours a day, eating not that much, not looking well after my health, barelly working out and stopped playing football to from my 14th. I'm 180cm now but I fucked up my genetics by it, I coulda been way taller ( I believe), when I was born I was also a bigger kid and docters told my parents that I had great potential of becoming very tall. But welp, messed that up, wish I found out about hamza earlier in my life
I'm 17 now, 18 in 5 months. 180cm, wish I could be around 190
@@user-hi6vg4fz5j the same, played video games and just ate junk food till I was 22, I started to change my life and go to the gym 1 year ago, im 23 now and 179 cm. I feel like I could have grown 3-4 cm more but nothing I can do anymore , haha!
@@Hedonist1haha 😩reality of life broski…
Gosh dang it, this advice is so good
I was very short in my younger youth, from 5-13. The shortest in my class actually. I started participating in sports like swimming, football. Now I'm 17 and 180cm tall Like 5'10. Now i am the tallest guy in my class. Eventhough genetics paly a huge role in growth you can still grow 5cm - 10cm if you do the right things like eating right, sleeping right, exercising, weight lifting. I think i might grow 4cm more untill i reach my 20s.
What do you eat bro? People say eating right but never mention their diet
Whats the height of your parents?
@@shafaet1194frrr. Like I wanna know
Thing is I have never bulked (I’m probably underweight) yet I’m 6’2 and my Dad is 5’11. My younger brother eats way more than me and more weightlifting and is only 5’11. Genetics play a huge role. For reference I’m 23 he’s 22.
Yep it’s mostly genetics and you can hit your potential by essentially not being completely malnourished. So even though you are underweight its most likely a result of those calories going to your height. My brother who has dwarfism (the treatable type) took Growth hormone from 4-18 and is even now incredibly skinny. The doctors didn’t think he would make 5’8 but got to 5’11 my parents asked why and they said that essentially his genetic potential was higher then they thought. As my father is 5,9 lol
My dad 5’6 and I’m 6’1 lol
but you have the exact same genetics
@@angadgrewal9324 wrong, unless you're identical twins genetics are not the same, likely close to the same, but completely separate.
@@angadgrewal9324 siblings only share on average 50 percent
wow i really love his content he really understand teenage life and gave the right ways.
I’m 30 and 5’1. I wish I saw this video sooner. My diet and sleep was absolutely fked up
Ive done all of this since I was 13 and nothing changed. The doctors can also conclude that none of my growth plates are damaged nor do I have any hormone disorder if anything, my testosterone levels are through the roof yet, I have been the same height for 3 years and barely taller than my dad. I am aware that these factors can still significantly change your height as height is not entirely based on genetics but my case says otherwise. It is unfortunate.
quick message for those who are short:
don't hate yourself or think of being short as a bad thing, why would it just be a bad thing? it's a trait with pros and cons just like being tall, or anything like that. Keep in mind as well, there were world leaders that were very short, I'm sure you have already heard of them so I won't say it here. Point is you shouldn't see being short as a bad thing if you can't change it, though there are things you can change about it.
Also, note from a longevity standpoint: shorter people have been shown to live longer. I'm not quite sure about the biological basis of this, but it might relate to growth factors such as mTOR and increased cell division, i.e. increased risk of DNA damage and cancer, which longevity drugs have been produced to inhibit. However, there are other benefits to being tall - it's really just about balance.
If your short you can't get girls
I think people back in the day were a bit shorter on average too, but also this whole height hysteria seems to have become problem after the advent of social media, where women started feeling like 6 foot+ is the average height and anything below that is short even though it's actually average, attractive women became spoiled for choice. But yes, being shorter than other men shouldn't be a reason for you to feel any less, there seems to be a lot of tall guys who feel that they are better than you simply because they are tall on social media, fuck them, work on yourself. Use that underdog energy as fuel.

As I'm 16 rn turning 17 in a few days,
Bulking is one of the best things you can do to gain height, when I started bulking iknew I kick started my growth spurt once again, (an inch in a month) imagine just what you do if you just control your urges and diet, you'll just grow better than most of the people arround you.
Im also 16 and I turn 17 in a few weeks and I I've noticed that I haven't really grown this year. I've looked up things that can prevent me from growing but I haven't found anything. A year or two ago I grow 5cm and after that nothing happened. Btw I am 169cm now

Thank you!! i’ve been eating lots and exercising a LOT but only saw minor growth compared to my effort, and i’m sure it’s because lack of sunlight because i never go out before 7 for playing.. I’ll try hard to get as much sunlight as possible from now on!!
Hey Hamza, I really NEEDED this Video today!
Just turned 17 last week and since I started getting worried of not growing any more (172cm 5‘7.5)
For all my life I’ve eaten too little, slept not enough, barely did any exercise and ignored the sun outside my room.
For the past 2 months I have been living healthier than ever before, I just hope it’s not to late for me and I can still reach 5‘10 / 178cm
I believe males stop growing around the age of 21 so don't worry too much. I was in a similar position to you, didn't prioritize sleep nor did I eat enough. As long as you optimize these things then you are bound to grow taller.
@@Frenbench it’s not guaranteed for every guy to keep growing until 21, some guys stop growing at 14-15 while some can grow until early 20s it really depends on genetics.
just 17 try harder you will grow to 6'1 at least before 21
Do the 4 things Hamza said you should do, but I will give you a tip of mine. Stretch your body every morning, especially your legs, back and neck. I have grown alot of this so do this and you will reach 6'0 / 183 cm.
Dec 28 I'd be 24. You're just 17. 7 years ahead of me already
Good video I watched it 3 times already ❤
lmao
Lmao
NPC behaviour
The sleep thing is really real and i think its most important from all of 4 steps along side with bulking up. example : At the start of 2020 i was around 146 cm then the quarantine hit and there wasnt school just homeworks and i had like 10 - 12 hours of sleep, home nutrition not some shit from school cantine. And at 2022 I was around 170 cm.
How old are you and how tall are your parents?
that "whats up bro" got me right
It may sound like broscience, but there is a plausible mechanism for why “bulking” reasonably can help u be as tall as u can be. Oestrogen prevents growth plate closure and if u’re eating enough food u will increase ure testosterone (which will convert to oestrogen) which will prevent closure, and with heavy lifting and general being athletic u’ll put urself in a better position for GH levels. The combined effect will maximise ur growth. Doing the opposite will mute ur growth.
Bulking is actually not that good for height. Intermittent fasting boosts HGH A LOT, which is the main hormone responsible for height.
Huh? Where did you get this information from? The main hormone responsible for closing and ossifying growth plates and speeding up the process of bone development is oestrodial, a form of oestrogen. Having high bodyfat increases oestrogen production and speeds up growth plate closure. Having low oestrogen slows done the process of both bone growth and growth plate closure, so you'll grow slower but for longer. Whereas high oestrogen gives you quick growth spurts but you won't grow any taller afterwards.

Thank you hamza this is exactly what I needed
Making sure you are getting the proper nutrition and your hormones aren't out of wack is important for proper height growth but guys, don't get too caught up in it because height is predominantly genetic and there is no way to change your genetics as of now. Some people will experience crazy growth spurts while others may experience a slower one. No one person is the same, just make sure you are keeping your physical health in check.
Remember male growth plates fuse slower than females, girls typically finish between 16-20 and boys typically 18-22, and your spine and legs finish last. At 17 years old I was 174/175cm and though slowly now at 20 I am 178/79cm. Many world level athletes and even random celebrities have had slight growth spurts through their late teens and early 20’s. Look at Leonardo DiCaprio he looked 15 until he was 22 and was under 6’ until he was into his mid 20’s.

personally, I'm 16 and started lifting properly around 6 months ago and only started making proper consistent progress once I began tracking everything I eat and making sure I'm eating enough and i've made great progress on my bulk so far so if you are struggling to gain weight try tracking for a while and you might realize you aren't actually eating as much as you think you are
elshaday?
If you're done with puberty, do some back and hip stretches. One thing I do is have my wife pull each of my legs while I hang on a pullup bar. Do some quadratus stretches on a hyper machine. My favorite is to reach above and lean backwards then slowly learn forward and touch your toes.
Thats only temporary your height will reverse

This really leads to maximising your genetic potential. If you are like 5’4 , over 20 years old and have done all of this then it’s highly likely that you’ve reached your genetic potential for height.

Congratulations man u just earned a sub and i like that u are speaking fax and giving tips not just on getting tall but to stay healthy
Allot of people say that it is just about sleep, diet and genetics. However i would LARGELY disagree, the amount of anabolic hormones that are relised during resistance training is insane, you not only increase baseline testosterone, HGH and IGF-1 levels in your body but you will start to increase a hormone known as CALCITONIN a very important hormone that triggers the absorbtion of calcium inside of the bones making them taller and more dense. Not to mention that you’ll need to keep your THYROID healthy, it is a gland that produces not only CALCITONIN but also other hormones like T4 which regulates the metabolism of the entire body keeping you from getting fat. To keep your thyroid healthy it is important to get enough iodine throw diet, air or supplements. Iodine is largely present in the air close to the sea or beaches, make sure to consume enough quality meat and fish + use iodized salt or if there is no opportunity just buy a supplement
