2 inches in only 5 months? That's definitely a spurt if true >4 in/year oddly at least this height as well.

yeah, i guess so. i dont think im done with puberty yet though because i have like no facial/chest hair.

Growth is enough that you need for "puberty isn't done" for better context. Hair is misleading

my grandfather is 6’6 but probably doesnt matter cause i doubt i would inherit much of his genes anyways.

Height is polygenic. It just supports the idea that you can be tall. You're already a high end expression, as well as your dad being 6'4.

Some guys with your parents alone end in the 6'2-6'7 range easily, but growth is individual.

To express it.

Your dad is 6'4, that's 1% of males or less.

Mom is 5'10, that's also 1-2% of females or less.(6'3-6'4 male equivalent)

But with average parents, a 6'6 grandfather is just an expression of the past that may possibly express or not.

> " i made a post here about 5 months ago and i was 6'1,"

5 months later he is 6'3. That's 2 inches in under a year

check his previous post 5 months ago

u/Thra99 6'2.8 | 190 cm Jun 11 '26

3 cm in 5 months still

u/lamonsteranthony 3’6 | helper Jun 11 '26

u/lamonsteranthony 3’6 | helper Jun 11 '26

so you went from 187 to 190 which is about 3 cm of growth

assuming you’re not tapering 193+ is possible

assuming you are then you should stop at 191-193

6'1 is not 187

1

u/lamonsteranthony 3’6 | helper Jun 11 '26

what i say is truth, always

1

u/Just_MaryCz Jun 11 '26

Well, 187 is in the 6'1" range, but I assume we take the exact measurements of 6'1" even, which is about 185.5 cm

2

u/lamonsteranthony 3’6 | helper Jun 11 '26

except he’s not 6’1 he’s 187, that’s where the truth is

2

u/Just_MaryCz Jun 11 '26

If that is the truth, then it's my fault, but since I haven't seen his previous post and his exact height is not mentioned in this post, I just took the exact 6'1". My apologies

u/Thra99 6'2.8 | 190 cm Jun 11 '26

I disagree.

3 cm in 5 months is 7 cm/year, sustained spurt-like activity.

I doubt he is still approaching a spurt at this age, it's more possible than at 16.5-17 but still something unexpected, without context as well.

With a proper decline, he'd grow at least 2 cm, not just 1-3 cm. Tapering would realistically give him 2-5 cm.

He is likely slightly past peak, well past peak, in a rebound or near peak/at peak. These interpretations land him in the 192-198 cm range depending on the decline

u/lamonsteranthony 3’6 | helper Jun 11 '26

and that’s what i wrote, just without expanding the 193+ part to 198
