How can I grow bigger? In height and size?

[Anonymous]

I'm tired of feeling like a adult stuck in a little teenage body. I'm older than 20, 5'8 at most, and 155lbs. I'm just tired of feeling like such a child compared to my co workers classmates and frankly literally anyone else male and female, it feels like everyone is able to grow just fine but i been stuck like this since i was 17 I want to grow up too

Ah man I know how you feel, it sucks being one of the shorter dudes. But hey, 5'8 isn't that small - you're definitely not a child. And there's nothing wrong with having a slimmer build either.

To be honest, once you stop growing height-wise there's not much you can do about that. Your genes pretty much determine it. But you are still young, so don't count yourself out yet - sometimes guys keep growing into their mid-20s. Make sure to eat healthy, get lots of protein and calcium. Maybe take a multi-vitamin too just to give your body the best chance.

As for filling out more, lifting weights is key. Start slow with the basic compound lifts - squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press. 3-4 times a week, really focus on good form and progressive overload (ups the weight over time). Eat lots of calories too to fuel muscle growth. It may take a year or more to see big changes, but stick with it and your body will shape up, I promise.

Also, don't stress too much about what others think of your size. Confidence is way more important. Own who you are - focus on being healthy, happy and treating people right. That stuff will take you far in life. Just do you, man!

You can consume more calories through home made weight gain shakes after each meal. But it is much better, cheaper and more peaceful to learn to accept who you are. I am a lot older and a bit shorter and weigh about the same. I train every 2 days. Self acceptance is the key. Otherwise you will just be in a perpetual cycle of eating, gaining more weight and spending more money and time to keep the weight on.

It's not worth it.

My last boyfriend was 5'8", 160 lbs., and he had a very sexy, sensuous body with a sexy hairy chest and stomach. And his mannerisms were very masculine - the way he moved his hands when he was taking to someone. I loved the way he would put his hand on his lower hip with his fingers spread out, like a real got.
My first husband was 5'8"b150 lbs, but he was built stocky. Big Popeye arms, husky legs, thin around his flat stomach.
And he never exercised either 🙄

Research foods you need and the workouts to do for your goal. A lot of it will be trial and error, since every body is different and it takes time.

As for height, you cannot increase it without surgery, which is expensive and can lead to health issues, so I do not recommend it. Instead, just own your height, since it will only hold you back to be insecure about it.
