Bad points:-
• We don't see how tall the Author of the video is or whether he has used his
methods on himself or someone close to him.
• The so-called "John Sparrow" is just an Instagram page on Mewing, and the FREE
ebook on what he did to Grow Taller in the Shins is only two pages of info with no

Bad points:-
• He says that only 20% of your height is due to environmental factors, which is on
the very low end (in my opinion). It's more like 20-40%.
• He is also wrong about the age at which the body can grow. He says only between
18-20, which is also low. I have found that people up to 40 can still get signi cant
height. The best results are usually before 30.
• There is no evidence that ca eine stunts growth. However, I do agree that it can
disrupt sleep when abused or taken closer to bedtime. Adults need to be more
careful of this, though, as the body struggles to reduce the half-life of ca eine as
we age.
• He Says there was a ca eine calculator in the video description, but I couldn't nd

• At the start of the video, he says that you cannot grow taller if plates are closed,
which is not what I have found at all. I think deep down, he knows it is possible.
Otherwise, he would not waste his time doing this experiment.
• For someone who is willing to spend $100,000 on limb lengthening surgery, I would
have expected him to have at least a stadiometer to take more accurate
measurements of his height. But we see him using a wall and tape measure in this

• Dr Eric does not give any idea of how much zinc, iodine, protein, sleep and fasting
windows we need.
• I think he makes carbohydrates look bad when he says that they will give you a
fatty liver if you eat them, which is not true. An excess of sugar and highly
concentrated corn syrup may do over a long period of time. But Carbs are
essential in the human diet and also really good for you.

• You have to read the subtitles if you don't understand the Indian language.
• She says sprinting on soft ground, like sand, for example, will not help growing
taller. This sounds like rubbish to me, as it's even harder to sprint on soft surfaces.
So, it would make your workout even more challenging, which should give you a
bigger HGH spike.
• I'm not sold on the sleeping at on a hard surface method for most people, as it
disrupts good sleep because it's so uncomfortable. It could work for a small
minority of people, though. They would have to test with a sleep tracker.

• It is very negative from the beginning about what can be achieved in terms of
height and growing taller. It gives a very low estimate of 20 years old when you're
done growing.
• It is a bit too speci c, and sleep times. They were not considering where a person
lives and their job, for example. I have seen people still grow very tall, even when
they had nighttime jobs and slept during the day. He does not mention circadian
rhythms either, which also plays a part.

another thing that he forgot about that could have been little tips for anyone else

• I'm afraid I have to disagree with kids' weight training at 11 or 12 years old in order
to maximise their height. Only because I have seen kids in my school do that when
I was younger, and all of them did not get a second or third growth spurt. I think
bodyweight exercises and any amount of cardio are ne. But for me personally, 13
should be the ABSOLUTE earliest when considering weight training. Even then, it
should be lighter weights and higher reps. This topic is always up for debate. But
as I grew beyond all the kids in school and did not even start weights till I was 18.
It de nitely is hard to consider that starting weights younger is better for height. I
could be wrong. But I am just using my own experience as a guide.

Bad points:-
• The video is very clickbaity, but it is an older video, so I will let them o .
• The video is clearly done by a large company that doesn't have the expertise in
growing taller and increasing height and is mainly looking to get views by
discussing popular topics.
• The person talking in the video is just a voiceover and is not coming from a place
of his own knowledge & experience.
• Seven of the ten exercises are basic stretches with no real supporting evidence
that they speci cally help with height increase. The other three exercises are
already well known for helping with growing taller but would be helpful for a

Upload Date:-

Bad points:-
• Even though he has a great philosophy on how to accept your height, he does not
help with how to actually encourage a growth spurt and seems very hostile
towards the process of growing taller. My guess is that he had perhaps tried
growing taller for a while with no success and had given up on trying any further.
Or maybe he saw a minor success but decided that the e ort to continue pursuing
it was not worth the time and e ort.
• His message is quite worrying in that he is giving up at such a perfect age to grow
taller. Other people of similar ages may see this and also give up way before they
fi
fi
ff
fl
fi

fi
even give themselves a chance to grow. If this guy was 30 years old, I could
understand a little more as to why he would be so certain that he's done growing.
But the fact is he's one year younger than me before I had my 6-inch growth spurt,
and preaching that he has hit his potential is ludicrous.
• He contradicts himself by saying late bloomers grow to 21, yet he is 17 and giving
up on growing any further. It makes no sense.
• It's bad that he says once you have armpit hair or facial hair, then that's a rule that
you are done growing" You're a Man". It's nonsense.

• I would say the main irritation is that this video gets you hyped up for Growing
Taller, but the actionable steps are just not there. It gives general ideas of how to
utilise the information and no real proven strategy. After all this work on such an
informative, interesting and well-researched video, this is a shame. Maybe there is
a system in the ebook he is selling, "The Skyscraper Method". The only things the
video tells us to do is sprint, eat 125 grams of protein daily, sleep, and drink milk
with sugar. Again, maybe there is more info in the ebook he is selling called
"Growth Hormone Optimisation."

• Even though his intentions are good, the advice is very basic and not really speci c
for individuals.
• There is no real plan for how to grow.
• Even though his story about the short girl eating two sandwiches per day (roughly
500 calories) was not enough for her to grow taller, he didn't mention that you need
to eat pretty much either maintenance or surplus of calories to grow taller. Just
eating protein and healthy fat could also be pointless if the portion size was also
500 calories.

Bad points:-
• The routine he was following did not seem very good at all. The trampoline routine
appears to dominate the daily VLOG. There is not much (if any) mention of diet or
calories during the whole process. We know he drank 1 litre of milk daily, but that's
about it. He could have been in a severe calorie de cit, in which case, he would
not grow much at all.
fi
ffi
fi
fi
ff
• He did not give the program long enough. Even though I know personally it can be
exhausting to do such a routine. I recommend that people need to give any Grow
Taller program 6-12 months before even questioning whether it's working or not.
Or, at the least, have a consultation to make sure they are still on track for the
preparation of a growth spurt.
• He mentions that he will go to bed by 9 pm every night, but was he getting up at
the same time? We don't really know. This is an old video, and sleep tracking has
gotten so much more advanced since this video was made.
• Even though I love this video, I feel that some people may watch it and lose
motivation to grow taller because they watch him try to grow and fail. Or some
others may have a biased view towards growing, especially after 21. But this video
is over ve years old, and it's so much more of a streamlined process to grow
taller. But it is still no easy task. It's just a lot simpler than ve years ago and more
successful.

is rubbish. Look at the TV show "Little People Big World", where dwarfs have
normal-sized kids. And potentially, they could have been taller with the proper

• Like many others, this coach believes that lifting weights does not stunt growth.
But as pointed out by one of the other videos, even though the science says that
weights do not stunt growth Because it triggers the body to almost arti cially begin
the growth spurt process. which means that even though you will start your growth
faster than others, you will also end the growth period faster than others. Basically,
you could be entering and exiting puberty earlier than you are meant to. I believe

Bad points:-
• He is hard to understand at times; he talks quietly, and the sound is very quiet.
Then the sound e ects become very loud as you have to turn the volume up to
hear him.
• I don't agree fully that "naps" are bad or can interfere with growth, as toddlers and
babies nap all the time, and they grow rapidly. But I think he could be right in terms
of the circadian rhythm. If you nap during the day, then nine times out of ten, you
won't be as tired later on before bed. So, he could be partially correct, especially
fi
ff
fi
fi
fi
as an adult. And a longer sleep "could" allow more time for HGH release. Which in
turn could give a bigger growth spurt. It is a Hard call to make.
• I don't think you have to be so strict with "3 meals per day" as he says. Some
prefer one meal per day; others prefer seven smaller meals per day. But whatever
works for you. I enjoy about four smaller meals per day as that keeps my energy
high.
• I don't like how he gives all this advice for height, then nishes o by saying, "We
have little to no control of our height, so learn to embrace your height." It is a bit of
a contradiction, which could leave viewers feeling confused and helpless towards
growing taller.

• I don't agree with him on no food for 3 hours before bedtime. Actually, quite a few
newer studies have shown that eating a light snack can have several bene ts. A
snack before going to sleep may be necessary to prevent low blood sugar. Certain
snacks before bedtime can provide sleep bene ts such as falling asleep faster or
staying asleep longer. A bedtime snack can also curb a person's hunger and help
them feel satiated until morning.
• Similar to this previous video I watched, "Your growth plates NEVER close
(SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN)" https://youtu.be/wrvv9_U8GJY. I give a great
scienti c explanation of why we technically should be able to grow taller but don't
give any actionable steps in order to get it. He does explain that the science
behind this is still a work in progress. But I still disagree when he says, "Don't
expect to go from 5ft 6" to 6ft if you are above 20 years old." This is total rubbish! I
have seen my own brother grow to 6ft 5" way past the age of 20 without this
cartridge method. So, I think he is completely wrong here.

• After doing a little of my own research, it seems the video creator has gotten a little
confused with HGH and IGF-1. He says they both work opposite to each other,
which is not true. Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 are two similar
protein hormones that work synergistically. While the creation of IGF-1 depends on
signalling from HGH to the liver, the activities of IGF-1 enhance and promote the
work of HGH, signi cantly increasing its potency. Often, IGF-1 and growth
hormone work together – for example, they "interact with insulin to modulate its
control of carbohydrate metabolism" in the liver and in the regulation of muscle
mass throughout the body. In terms of their di erences, insulin-like growth factor-1
is made in the liver, while HGH is made in the pituitary gland. So, his advice on
eating carbs immediately after sprints will not really do much in terms of growing
taller. But no doubt, after any exercise, eating will help aid recovery and replace
glycogen stores. So, it is still bene cial.
• I don't like how he says, "If you're 25 and 5ft 6, don't expect to grow 6 foot tall by
following this program". It could just be a disclaimer for this video. But as a viewer,
it makes me feel like it's not possible to see signi cant height results after 25.

The Last How To GROW TALLER video you'll ever need to watch...

Bad points:-
• He says he only tried one technique by stretching in bed for a few weeks, and he
didn't grow taller. Because of this experience, he tells everyone that growing taller
is impossible. It's crazy to me that he really thinks that that is all it takes to grow
taller. Growing Taller is a long process for most people and takes many months,
mostly years, to accomplish. It's a shame that many people will watch this video
and stay short because he is persuading them not to take action on his failure and
pathetic attempt to increase his height. DON'T LISTEN TO THIS GUY.
• This guy randomly pulls out the age of 17 and says that if you are over that, then
you have reached your genetic potential in life, which is nonsense.
• You can tell by when his voice changes during his "write down why you are grateful
for your height" speech he is a bit resentful or jealous towards taller guys. Even
though he is trying to make you believe it's not so good to be taller (having to
reach down to kiss girls. having to squish into a car, etc..)

• I'm actually shocked at how little information was in this video, especially from a

(via improved posture by 1 inch). But no further ideas on how to ACTUALLY get a

Bad points:-
• He does tend to repeat a lot of his points in the video.
• Even though it's great that he's giving a lot of general advice, some things could
de nitely be more speci c. He says in one part of the video, "Just go out and buy
some vitamins, there's some at Walmart". People need to know which speci c
vitamins and what e ective dosages. Similar to when he recommends what
exercises to do and what foods to eat. People need more information and context.
fi
ff
fi
fi
• Previous videos have mentioned naps or napping. I don't agree fully that "naps"
are bad or can interfere with growth, as toddlers and babies nap all the time, and
they grow rapidly. But I think he could be right in terms of circadian rhythm. If you
nap during the day, then nine times out of ten, you won't be as tired later on before
bed. So, he could be partially correct, especially as an adult. And a longer sleep
"could" allow more time for HGH release. Which in turn could give a bigger growth
spurt. It is a Hard call to make.

seemed to work for me and many other people as it contains high amounts of
protein and calcium and a heavy amount of calories, which is great for growth. So,
I don't think he is completely right when he makes this point. Plus, he is still

Bad points:-
• I think he is just being very humble when he says that he got his height from his
grandad (who was of similar height). None of his other siblings grew to his height.
It's too much of a coincidence that he was the only one who attempted to grow
taller and accomplished it. So he should really be more proud that because he
altered his environment, he changed his height destiny.
• It's a shame he isn't a bit more encouraging., especially as he achieved what most
people want to have. I think because of how many subscribers he has, he puts the
disclaimer at the end saying that it's "mostly genetics", but these tips may help.
Actually, I think that he basically tried to grow taller and did! So you can't just say
it's genetics. He de nitely encouraged a growth spurt.

Bad points:-
• She is focusing on growth spurts between certain ages. Which people could
assume is the only period in which people grow taller, which is totally not true. She
says the growth spurt in boys is between 14-17, and in girls is 12-15 years old. You
can de nitely grow before and after these ages. But maybe she is just giving these

as a general region for people's rst big growth spurt. But she should have
explained that more clearly.
• I don't agree with her point on "healthy eating patterns". Since the introduction of
intermittent fasting, I believe this has debunked the myth that you need to eat
every 3-5 hours. That approach may work well for certain people; for others, they
de nitely can grow taller as long as they have their TDEE in calories every day,
even if it is in a small eating window. This is especially true for people who have to
fast during sunlight hours for religious reasons like Ramadan, for example.
• The height predictor tool link did not work in the description. I was looking forward
to testing it out to see how accurate it is.

recommend in the GTPS 2.0 are far superior and have "study-backed" clinically
e ective dosages.
• It's hard to know for sure, but he doesn't seem like he is a tall person himself. So,
It's hard to take height advice from someone who actually hasn't grown for

between 5 ft 6" and 5ft 10".

Upload Date:-

Bad points:-
• Surprisingly, even though Dr Sam goes into a lot of detail about what foods we
should eat in order to grow taller, he doesn't really mention how important it is to
be in a caloric surplus.
• I don't agree with him about milk. He says milk is for cows and babies. But milk is
a great source of calcium (sometimes Vitamin D if they have added it) and also
protein. I know that if it wasn't for milk, neither my brother nor myself would be as
tall as we are today. So I don't agree with his point on this. He even says after that
"mothers milk" is important because it has carbs and fats. So, there is a bit of a
contradiction on the milk topic, which could be confusing for people.
• Even though he recommends some great vitamins to take, he gives no clear idea
of dosages, which is very important. I have a supplement I recommend in the
GTPS 2.0 that gives you all the correct vitamins and minerals you need to grow
taller, plus the e ective dosages.

Bad points:-
• When I checked the description box, there were many Amazon a liate links to
products he was recommending. So I would say that even though the products
could bene t your height, you could probably just get your own products from the
local supermarket or even online.
• I don't agree with the fact that just because a bamboo tree grows fast and tall by
eating bamboo murabba, you will also grow fast and tall. There is no evidence to
fi
ffi
fi
support this claim. Similar to camel milk, the ancient scriptures seem to suggest
this milk over other kinds of milk because the intrinsic properties of a camel are
better than those of cow or bu alo (perhaps because camels are the tallest of the
three animals, maybe?). But I think this is nonsense. One thing I will say is that
these ingredients could just be high in certain vitamins and minerals that aid
height. For example, bamboo shoots seem to have a high amount of potassium
(even more than bananas). So, it could just be the variety of nutrients that are
helping with general Growth, not the speci c ingredients themselves. This is ne if
you don't really want to optimise your vitamin and mineral pro le, but for me I think
there is a far better way to consume vitamins and minerals in their e ective
dosages. So many of my customers and I take Legion's " Triumph" Multivitamin.
It's the only way you know for sure that you are getting the correct vitamins in the
e ective. Dosages. Similar to the ingredients in the "Tonic." The multivitamin
already contains clinically e ective dosages of the Ashwagandha powder, so there
is no need to have the "Tonic" drink.
• I'm not sure there is a way to physically stimulate the pituitary gland to release
extra growth hormone by meditating before bedtime. But the act of meditation and
positive thoughts about your height journey will de nitely send out a message to
the universe that you wish to be taller and try your very best to achieve your
maximum potential height. Plus, it will calm the soul before settling down for the
night.

Bad points:-
• Even though this whole video is a great stepping stone on how to begin to grow
taller, he kind of contradicts himself by saying that this advice can only get you 1-3
inches, even though he clearly states in the video that this helped him to go from
5ft 3" to 6ft 3".
• He also says at the end that you will stop growing at 19/20 and should just accept
your height from the age of 16 onwards. I think he has done this as a mild
disclaimer. But in reality, none of those numbers are a true re ection of when you
can grow taller by a long shot. Many of my clients have grown signi cantly up to
the age of about 30. That is when Growth seems to slow down, but again not
completely stop. People can still grow in their 30s, but it is de nitely more
challenging.

• Even though he is giving some great advice, the advice is not actionable as a grow

is ne, but growing taller requires a number of speci c changes to be optimised in
order to create the correct environment for a growth spurt.
• I'm afraid I have to disagree when he says that you will generally be the height of
your parents. From everyone I have spoken to, it seems their parents' heights are
varied. Sometimes, they can be similar, but other times, they are completely

☞
2) Consider doing some growth spurt encouragement exercises - for example, jumping
for basketball, skipping, volleyball, etc. (Video 23)
3) Too much stress can reduce HGH(stress can reduce the pituitary gland's ability to
produce HGH). (Video 12)
4) Having a lower body fat percentage can increase your chances of getting taller, not too
low, but somewhere between 10-25%. (Videos 6,30)
6) Quit Smoking and vaping as it prevents the lungs from getting oxygen. (Videos 11,37)
7) Don't overdo the exercise, as it will tax the nutrients from your diet for fuel and not
leave much left for recovery. So train accordingly. This is okay if you are way over your
caloric surplus. (Video 12)
8) Lifting weight will actually help with HGH production and make bones stronger, so it will
help you on your height journey if done correctly. (Videos 51, 55)
9) Spend more time outdoors rather than gaming all night long. (Video 15)
10) Not having enough iodine could stunt your growth. (Video 17)
11) Take magnesium citrate to help sleep and recovery. (Video 18)
12) Eat 1.5 hours before you train or stretch so you don't get stomach pain/cramps/
stitches. (Video 18)
13) Consider a meditation routine to help you destress and relax. This will help the body
produce more HGH. (Video 18)
14) Consider Deep Breathing exercises to help the body optimise oxygen input/
output. (Video 18)
15) Consider Stretching every day (maybe even two split sessions in the morning and
evening or even after workouts). (Videos 5,16,28,33,35,36,43,45,46,49,52,53,55,58,59)
16) Only consider shredding or leaning up when you feel you are at your desired
height. (Video 30)
17) Don't forget to do cardio for a Healthy heart; this will aid in the growth process. (Video
31)
18) Use the "law of Attraction" to get you to your height goal. (Video 35)
19) Stay away from alcohol and drugs. You should also moderate ca eine. (Video 36)
20) Stop looking at your phone, tablet, laptop, pc 1 hour before bed. (Video 40)
21) Ashwagandha is a supplement that can help with height. (Videos 46, 52)
22) Physical activity drives hunger, so if you are struggling to eat more calories, increase
the activity level or intensity so your body craves more calories. (Video 47)
23) Try to keep 80% of your diet clean and 20% junk to encourage longevity on this grow
taller journey. If you restrict chocolate and sweets too much, you may quit
altogether. (Video 47)
24) Avoid soy proteins as they encourage oestrogen production and decrease thyroid
production, which is not good for growth. (Video 50)
ff
25) Do high reps when you are younger and avoid any heavy lifting that compresses the
spine, like deadlifts, shrugs and barbell squats. (Video 50)
26) Doing weights actually develops muscles to support bone growth. (Video 51)
27) A vegan diet is not optimal for height gain (Videos 17, 53)
28) Go to bed 1 hour before you need to adjust for actual nodding o , toilet breaks, and
moments of sleeplessness during the night. (Video 55)
29) Lifting weights will release natural HGH, which will help go towards your
height. (Video 55)
30) Choose exercise routines that will enable you to do them day after day, week after
week, month after month without too much downtime (injuries). Maybe consider
basketball dunking over kickboxing for example, or cycling instead of running. (Video 60)
31) Measure yourself properly if possible; use a stadiometer or a method more accurate
than just a tape measure. (Video 57)
32) Don't start weight training too early in life, as it can cause premature closure of the
growth plates, making it harder to grow. Or less time to grow. (Video 61)
