Height problems

So a lot of you said ya wanna get taller(except wing seng,he said he is already tall)
and jon said wearing weights at your ankle won't get you taller.I'm bout to prove you wrong :D

Ankle weights used to be the big thing in height increase but not anymore. If you notice on limbcenter.org, Sky's height increase experimenters are cycling while their shin bones are being pulled with iron plates not ankle weights.



Do ankle weights have any possible applications for height increase? The main problem with ankle weights is that they place a stretching force on the cartilage and not on the bone. Now, the growth plate contains cartilage but scientists used to attempt to perform epiphyseal distraction which was found to only increase growth rate and not final adult height. This is true whether you are standing or sleeping with ankle weights. Articular Cartilage grows in response to stem cells from microfracture not as a result of being stretched. Ligaments respond to being stretched but they respond by adding more fibers to withstand more of the stretching force not by growing longer.


Kicking or jogging with ankle weights is another issue entirely. Ankle weights bounce all over the place. Now when you're running these ankle weights may bounce up and down on your ankle causing trabecular microfractures in the epiphysis of your long bones but ankle weights are frankly so cumbersome that it is not something to count on. Now kicking with ropes w/ iron plates might work as the load is actually on the bone and thanks to microfractures, bone should be able to lengthen in response to being stretched.


Ankle weights had their time to be experimented on. It's time to move on to bigger and better methods. Unless someone comes up with a revolutionary new method.

And for retards, mostly everyone reading this blog who is too lazy to read. Here's the summary:

Does putting weights at your ankle makes you taller?

Yes,it does(indirectly)
