Hm..that sounds interesting. I do have lean muscles since I am a sprinter and cross country runner.
Having too much muscle mass can shrink you I mean look at
The governor Arnold Swar...something

I don't know if sleeping with 5 pound ankle weights on each ankle and having them slanted at a 45 degree angle actually help make you taller. Does anyone use this method? Sleeping with ankle weights and having your legs dangle. Did it for almost a month until a few weeks ago. I felt pain but did gro 5/8 inches. It was a month before I measured on 2/11/08. I was 5'5 3/8 but wearing ankle weights I grew 5/8.

yea you have a better chance of growing if your body is in that state! thats why i only play ball and i dont work out!!....
and besides when you stop working out from being a buff person , you end up looking like a steroid user.

dude i dont think thats a good ideal dangling your legs with weights on them because that can stop the circulation of blood!!! try this: put like 5-10lbs of ankle weights then do pull ups after like a few pull ups try pointing your toe to the ground and try reaching for it(the ground). gravity will pull the weights back to earth with your body, it should stretch your spine which is very important for growth. do it in the morning cause your spine is already stretch from sleeping.

Wait, so you would recommend this? It is really uncomfortable for the first few days, but after a while I don't even noticed them suspended off the bed and I could feel my legs being dragged longer. Then again this is something new I only tried about a month and a half back and grew 5/8 inches. I need more input to whether I should continue doing this.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea, I will try it, but then again, sleeping with ankle weights for a month and I grew 5/8 inces, now I heard that an inch takes about 3 months. Is this a myth? I still need more input to whether I should continue with this sleeping with ankle weights...and should I wear heavier weights? 10 ibs? 25? 100? Jk..100..lol..no way..I barely weigh 130.

just enough weights that it can pull your body down to the ground!! about the myth thing idk cause people say that he grew a foot in one yr but im not sure if thats true!

Well, Measured on the 11th of March barefoot, my height is 5'6 3/16 inches, I grew 3/16 inches in one month, if I want to be 5'8 by 2009, I need to work extra hard.

You should do weights to help bone growth.

Weights gotcha, right away.
