Stretches, yoga, pilates, rolfing, hanging, inversion, weighted inversion, ankle weights, kicking with ankle weights, basketball, swimming, sprinting, sleeping with ankle weights, posture excercises, sleeping with no pillow, should I go on? You're probably familiar with all of the above and much more.
I spent my time on height forums when I was 15 once I realised I stopped growing, although I admit I was too lazy to try stretching for more than a week, I had 0 discipline back then. I thought inversion would help me get 1-2cm but my parents would not agree to install a pull up bar at home and I couldn't afford gravity boots. Lots of guys were playing ball, swimming and doing sprints to increase HGH, but f*** that back then all I cared about was playing on the computer.
I went to a doctor asking to check my growth plates but all I got was him laughing telling me I'm already tall enough. My parents kept telling me I need therapy. I have 3 more brothers and all of them kept growing till at least 18 so I don't know what happened with me.
I practiced pilates really heavy for 3 years and it does elongate the spine so you do carry yourself with an extra inch i would say BUT its not same as growing extra. Its more of a posture thing.
