Alright, I feel the study(ies) done to show that height is 60-80% genetic is fucking bullshit. They used separated identical twins but their nutrition wasn't that different. So I'm gonna buy a pair of identical twins from the deep web and then I will raise one on my heightmaxing stack and a carnivorous diet (that IGF-1 boy) and then put them on Letrozole when they're 16 so they can grow until they're 25 and one of my haters (DrTony, x30001, anyone who likes them, etc.) will take the other twin and raise him on a healthy vegan soylent based diet which is peak nutrition according to your (((doctor))) (and shouldn't stunt growth at all) and tell them that everything is genetic. We'll see which one's kid mogs the shit out of the other at the end. The point of this dumbass thread is: 1. Height is not 100% genetic, even your mainstream medical sources disagree with you. 2. Any figures for genetic influence over height like 60%, 80%, 86%, were not studied with drug enhanced hormone secretion. It is less than 60%. Genetics are not fucking real, at least they don't work how you think they do. Scientists have found over 800 genes related to height and the influence each one of them has is incredibly minuscule. Stop promoting a theory as fact (a debunked theory by the way) with your undeserved credibility to hold back the scientific process. You should be banned for misinformation TBH.

Edit for people just reading my thread now: It took me being a bit of a dumbass (more than I usually am, I mostly try to keep things high quality so you all think I'm a genius or some shit) and arguing with people to get this point sorted out but this is my new argument: Height in nature IS genetics and nutrition, but when we go outside of it with drugs and disorders it is very clear that there is no genetic LIMIT on height. Genetic influence sure, but no limits. Want to grow taller? Follow my stack and have open growth plates. Your genes become less important the more you increase height through unnatural methods such as growth hormone peptides and AIs.

They haven't found enough height genes to conclude that. You maxed your height by not eating plants but if we did a trial with twins and maxed their height with drugs I'd bet my life its a whole lot fucking lower than 80%. They say its genetics vs nutrition but they refuse to look at genetics vs hormones.

Could've been 6'10. I do not disagree that nutrition is pretty minuscule, but hormones and mineral consumption or some shit seem to be more likely a bigger deal then calories.

That Chinese nba player was a Chinese experiment where his father and mother’s families were tracked and monitored for two generations. They got the tallest woman in China with the tallest male and “encouraged” them to breed. Naturally the kid was tall af. It’s genetics for the most part, don’t kid yourself, kid.

I'm talking about genetics vs drugs not genetics vs nutrition. This chinese boy had a genetic advantage but this thing blamed for height "genetics" is both genetics and the hormones genetics produce, and we can raise hormones outside of genetics. Obviously tall parents mostly equal tall kids and short parents mostly equal short kids, but we can chemically turn a short kid into a tall kid or a tall kid into a short kid. Genetics are not as powerful as people think, there are no limits.

Not sure if its a growth spurt but i remember back when i was in 4th grade i was the shortest in my class (barely ate)

But after my parents noticed and i started getting more food i immediately became taller in 5th and was one of the tallest in 6th

Also i started puberty in the end of 7th grade or 8th (forgot which)

No old sport you’re a very high IQ poster here and I respect you but your wrong on this. Genetics set the limit. There’s a reason why sons look like ether fathers and grandfathers and daughters look similar to their mothers in some instances. There’s a reason why the Massai tribe of Africa is freakishly tall and the Pygmy tribe is very short. Yes there can be exceptions to the rule with short parents having tall kid. But I’ve seen brothers where one is 6”2 and the other 5”8. Same lifestyle just a slightly different genetic build.

Environment not so much unless we're talking extended periods of starvation or something. But hormones maybe.

I'm talking about height so remove the looks example, yes facial features are genetic (or we'll say that, this example with people looking like their parents is actually not entirely features but also facial expressions that get picked up) So prove that there are genes that HALT I guess "unnatural" (HGH injections) height increase and I'll concede, but otherwise you just have a theory. Different tribes, another weak example. Different lifestyles. Doesn't disprove my theory if they are living very similar lifestyles though. My height increase methods go beyond nature.

I think you mean a tumor up against the pituitary, yes. An example that disproves a genetic "limit." I should probably reword my points in my original post that there is no blueprint or limit, not that genetics don't have that much of an effect within natural environments.

It also depends on how mixed the genes are ig. If u got a linage of short niggas no amount of milk and hgh will help with minor outliers being the exception

Look at the evolution of the average height throughout the last century. It's obviously cause of external factors (nutrition, sexual selection, exercises perhaps, etc). So, yes, genetics is the biggest part for sure, but there's significantly contribution of external factors. Almost every 15 yo today heights mogs me. The easy access of "good' food and the culture of building muscle surely has something to do with this.

Yeah HGH is really OP which is why pure HGH is so expensive. And the shit about "dur hur it only helps get to your genetic limit" is BS like people with AP tumors grow to be over 7 foot and the hgh from that surely isn't more than pharma grade hgh

Height can definitely be influenced, but only for the wealthy and their monetary interests.
I copied and pasted this from an old bb.com thread so expect errors.

"Dennis Rodman - He was 5'6 in high school. Then at the age of 19, he went from 5'9 to 6'8! Almost a foot! Growing pains....ouch.
David Robinson - 5'9 his junior year of high school and 6'7 his senior year and then 7'0 in College.
Scottie Pippen - Entered college at 6'1. Final height? 6'8.
Michael Jordan- He grew from 5'10 to 6'3 from his sophmore to junior year in highschool. Final Height is 6'6. I also heard no one in his family is over 6'0, but that was from only one source so not sure.
Chris Anstey - Played tennis until age 17. Then started playing basketball and grew 7 inches. Final height was 7'0. Hmmm did he grow taller because of basketball?
Tim Duncan - Grew 8 inches in some of his highschool years and now maxes out at 6'11.
Lamar Odom - Was 6'2 as a highschool point guard. Out of nowhere he hit a huge growth spurt to 6'9.
Manu Ginobli - Hes from Argentina, a country whose average height is 5'8 1/2. Both of his brothers were late bloomers, and reached 6 ft in their teens. Manu was also a late bloomer and in two years, he shot up 10 inches from 5'8 to 6'6. "

I find it hard to believe all these late growth spurts also were a coincidence.

My thoughts

"Basketball increases HGH" I think is cope because other sports/activities do as well but we don't see these spurts happen commonly enough

Micro-fracture theory is a better possibility as certain sports seem to give people longer limbs depending on which ones they apply the most force to. Tennis players have a longer arm than the other rather than longer arms in general (could be baseball players though I forgot) so this one cannot be said to be "they play that sport BECAUSE they have longer arms than most people, the sport doesn't give them that trait" because the arm with the most micro fracturing being applied gets longer than the other which isn't found in normal people

On the skeptical side:
These examples though are of FAMOUS basketball players, of course a disproportionate amount of people with crazy growth spurts end up in the highest league because the tallest people usually have better growth spurts and height is very important for basketball in general, so "they play basketball because they are tall not that they get tall because they play basketball" could be applied here. Also I thought dennis rodman was playing basketball way before he got his growth spurt.

Nobody is looking at replies without relevant literature. I mean no relevant normal functioning human adult with a working brain. I just completely skip all answers without evidence...

I also laugh at reverse causality anecdotes misconstrued as straight causality

Well I'm not going to pay to read this article but from the abstract sure this makes my original claim seem retarded, which is why I added the second claim which is what I was actually trying to say.
Yeah we don't know how heritable height is in a GH treated population. The population of all these studies have been normal people. Also in most hgh studies, the doctors probably didn't use high enough dosages out of safety and desire to stay within a normal height range.

Unless this wasn't just a pure brag, then I don't want to see the full paper because it only disproves the argument of mine which I agree was wrong, not the point of my argument which is that height can be increased unnaturally and there is no genetic limit, just genetic suggestion.

I certainly need NO validation from teenagers. I have got more than plenty of that in my life. And yes GWAS studies suggest that a large variance is explained by genes alone. As with all complex phenotypic traits, environment plays a role too. Intervening with GH when epiphyseal plates are open (while no GH deficiency) has not been show to increase adult height as the rate limiting step here is how many division cycles your chondrocyte progenitors in your epiphyseal plates have before they become full differentiated into bone (perhaps genetically determined) and "ossify" as we say
