I'm Growing Slowly

Don't worry! You are 14, now in a few years you will suddenly pull! You will not stay 1, 57 nor with the milk teeth. It's just that people are different and we develop at different speeds, some grow very intensively to 12-13 and then almost stop, other times to 12-13 almost not and then suddenly between 14 and 18 "pull". You are obviously one of the latter! You will grow up to 18 years old and how else! Do not worry! However, yours are not super tall either, so you will hardly get 2 meters, but you will not stay at your current height. Otherwise, training and eating quality food are very useful. They can hardly affect your height, but they will help you stay healthy. So keep playing sports and don't despair. As I said until 18 you have a lot of time, that sometimes it is quite possible to grow very little after 18. So you have at least 4 more years. I guess you'll get your father's height somewhere, or maybe even a little more.

I'm not sure that boxing will help you grow, even gaining some type of extra muscle mass can slow down your height and even keep you a little shorter. Some girls like very muscular and combative boys, but ... You can always build muscle, it's more important to grow tall first. And even if you are healthy - you do well with the fruit. You have a natural height and you will reach it, as long as you do not interfere with it - with smoking or exercise. Keep away from smokers and overload and you will grow quite naturally and well in height, with moderate movement and exercise, e.g. push-ups, etc. will certainly not be your "squat". It's just that I have some observations and because of them I recommend you not to engage in too intense, excessive training, but rather moderate movement.

Hello, I want to reassure you that you are only 14 and you still have a lot of time, especially since you are a boy and you grow to 17-18. I knew some boys who were in 9th grade and had just come to high school. They were literally like children in grades 3-4, but literally - very short, with many childish features, and there were others already at that age, who were 190. Two or two years passed, these boys developed like that, they were unrecognizable, so they had changed, there was no mention of the baby's faces. Sometimes boys grow up all at once. You are in 14th, most likely 7th grade. I also knew another boy who was very short in 8th grade, with a childish face and so on until the middle of the 10th. Now there is a radical change in 11th grade - it is still not very high, but its appearance has changed, its features are already like a teenager, but from the nice, not like a baby, his voice has also changed and is a magnet for chicks. Another 11th grader, although he is 165-6, trains, has a healthy body, is not a gorilla or a wardrobe, but he looks good, he has a lot of self-confidence, even I liked him and he is also a magnet for girls. I think you will probably grow to at least 170, which is not bad for a man, my father is 170, but his physique is such that it does not seem to him that he is a little shorter and looks good. Do not cut your hair, eat healthy, you can take vitamins, exercise. Taekwondo is more for tall people because there are a lot of kicks, stretches, karate I think is for shorter and boxing maybe. In general, short people are better fighters because they are faster. I'm short myself, 154, but I've never been bothered in any way.

Continue with the levers and swimming. In general, hanging and jumping are good for height, so you don't necessarily have to practice basketball or volleyball. Read also about Omega 3

You can drink vitamin A / growth vitamin. It is also called "fish oil".

Swimming in combination with boxing is ideal for growth and overall development. Swimming develops the chest and increases tidal volume, increases aerobic endurance. In boxing, you have a lot of springing and bouncing, so it's a great alternative if you don't like basketball / volleyball, it will keep you in perfect shape, and you'll make sculpted muscles. You may also like kickboxing after you are drawn to martial arts. Avoid lifting weights - there, especially if practiced from an early age, the vertebrae are pushed in to compensate and the trainees remain lower. Everything that stretches you and stimulates your growth is good for you at the moment. Hanging levers is a good idea, as well as any jumps, but of course in moderation. It's great that from this age you take care of your diet and get your vitamins from fresh fruits and vegetables. Your parents have obviously done a great job with your upbringing, given that the majority of teenagers your age are extremely unaware of physiology and nutrition, massively with poor posture and spinal deformities, immobilized by lying on the couch and sitting at the computer and pounding dough, fried and pots. .
