Lecture Notes: Growing Taller Techniques

Introduction

  • Claim: Bones can be forced to grow taller at any age, even post-puberty.
  • Example: Maasai tribe in Kenya averages male height of 6'3".
  • Key concept: Wolf's Law (Julius Wolf, 19th century) - bones adapt to loads placed upon them.

Step 1: Food and Supplementation

Dietary Guidelines

  • Avoid: Foods high in estrogen (delays growth plate closure).
  • Important Age Considerations:
    • Growth plates close between ages 17-25.
    • Post-25: Bones can still grow using micro-fractures.
  • Foods to Include:
    • Rich in melatonin and animal protein:
      • Fatty fish, steak, eggs, oysters.
    • Completely avoid processed foods.

Recommended Supplements

  • Vitamin D3K2 - essential for bone growth.
  • Minerals: Zinc, Magnesium, Boron - necessary for bone health.
  • Collagen: 15g of 100% grass-fed cow collagen daily.
    • Maasai consume collagen-rich foods (bone broth).
  • Arginine: Modulates growth hormone release, increases HGH during sleep.

Step 2: Sleep Optimization

Sleep Protocol

  • Follow Maasai sleep rituals, aligning with circadian rhythm.
  • Optimal Sleep Times:
    • Sleep: 10 p.m.
    • Wake: 7 a.m.
  • Boosting HGH Production:
    • Take supplements in the evening.

Sleep Precautions

  1. Avoid sugary foods within three hours before bed (including fruit).
  2. Limit blue light exposure before sleep (wear blue light blockers).
  3. Create a dark sleeping environment (block street lights with curtains).

Step 3: The Maasai Jump

Jumping Technique

  • Video demonstration of the Maasai jump.
  • Practice Duration: 10-15 minutes daily.
  • Stretching Routine: Important for growing taller (link to comprehensive routines).

Understanding Bone Lengthening

  • Micro-fractures created through jumping stimulate bone growth (Wolf's Law).
  • Jumping Rules:
    1. Feel stiffness from head to heels.
    2. Knees and hips should be muted but not locked.
    3. Avoid touching ground with heels between jumps.

Post Jumping Routine

  • Rest Position: Sit with legs hanging down off a bed or elevated surface.
  • Use ankle weights for 45-60 minutes post-jumping.
  • Expected Growth: 2-3 inches taller with consistency, regardless of age or genetics.
