2 inches in 6 months success story

Hello my height seeking friends,

If you're as obsessed about height gain as I am then please read the following:

July-September 2010 ( 1 inch)

I grew from 5'7' to 5'9" ( night time height) since Summer of 2010. At first I had some doubts but I started to really see results after 1 month of hard work. The first 2 months all I focused on was purely stretches for the spine.
I noticed after a month my torso was disproportional to my legs. So I completely changed my method and focused on getting my legs longer.

September-December 2010 ( 1 inch)

I started doing a ton of kicking. I would do up to 2,000 kicks a day. I would also use a stationary bike with the seat raised to an uncomfortable level and bike for 15 minutes daily.

December-Present 2011 ( about 1 cm )

I recently started a new method which I've been doing for about 2 weeks now. It takes me over 1 hour of hard work daily. At the end of my routine I'm sweating bullets from exhaustion. I like to start with my stationary bike for the first 10 minutes to warm up and feel the burn in my legs. For the next 15 minutes all I do is stretches for my spine and legs. Next 15 minutes I'll strap on 4 lb ankle weights and purely kick with out resting ( about 50 kicks per minute ). For the Final 20-30 minutes I take off my weights and I'll use my punching bag and kick it for about 250 kicks each leg. After 500 kicks total, I will go and stomp and jump on my feet as hard as I can for about 10 minutes. This is to cause micro fractures in my shin bones. Then I'll strap on 4 lb weights again and do about 10 minutes of jogging. Finally I quickly sit down on the edge of my bed and strap on an additional 10 lbs on each leg to a total of 14 lbs per leg. I use pillows to raise my legs so they don't touch the floor and just freely dangle of my bed. I'll sit there for about 2 hours and I start to feel unbearable pain and a bit of numbness. I re-adjust the weights and rub my legs to get the circulation going and remove the pain. On the hour or so I'll repeat rubbing my legs to a total of 5-6 hours. At around Midnight I take them off I drink about 500 ML of milk and immediately go to sleep. I won't stand on my feet for the next 8 hours till I wake up.

Basically that's my new routine. I've gained just under 1 cm in 2 weeks. I'm not entirely sure if ankle weights while sitting really does stretch your shin bones. I just try to add everything to my daily routine in hopes that every and any little thing helps. I do not take any supplements, I only drink about 1 litre of milk per day. If anyone has anything to add or remove from my routine because it's not worth doing then please let me know. I'm always looking to improve my routine and make it more successful. My goal is to gain 3 more inches by 2012.
Has anyone really been successful with the shinbone technique if so please share your information.

I got all my stretches from there.

Remember be careful of injury as I have injured my knee kicking. If you injure yourself stop and see a doctor.

0.75" in 2 weeks with advanced bridging

This was originally posted on the old GrowtallForum, currently inactive. The user, "gog9" claimed to have gained 2 centimeters in 2 weeks using a routine than involves advanced bridging. Let's see how his routine looks like:


Hey guys! 

Been reading this forum for a while but haven't really posted until now. Just wanted to share my success with you guys. I performed the grow taller stretches for a long time with little to no success. My posture was fantastic and my spine was stretched from regular hanging. Unfortunately I had nothing to show for it. 

I ended up reading about back bridging somewhere and decided to try it. Immediatley my spine felt stretched out and elongated like never before. Better than any other stretch and better than hanging or inversion hanging.

I started with basic bridging and then progressed to back bridge push ups and stand to stand bridging mixed with push ups. I do around 100 bridge push ups per day mixed with bridge holds. After 2 weeks of consistent bridging I have gone from 5'9 1/2 (morning height) to 5'10 1/4 (morning height). I am convinced that with another few weeks of bridging I will be able to get another 1/2" or so. It doesn't sound like a lot but trust me - IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. 

Here is my tutorial on bridging
