just no, but you can grow a personality, charisma and coinfidence

You can improve the posture and gain some cm if your posture was shitty.

At 28 years old I gained 2 cm after a year of at least 20minutes a day of really painful exercises.

But it worked because I have posture problems and I need the exercises to manage the pain during the day.

Nope. Sorry, friend.

>but I would really like to add 3cm to my hight

just gonna begin by asking why would you want? what do think would be the difference in your life in general for those three little inches?

but actually can gain a bit of height, not by growing, but getting proper posture after some time of proper training, but for that you will probably need advice from a physiotherapist

but still, don't expect much

Cool. My posture is sort of bad so this could be an option. Do you know the name of the exercises?

The day to day difference would be close to nothing, but I'd be six feet tall, and that seems a good hight to be.

I'm 5'11" which I'm assuming is roughly the same height as you. I don't know how things are in Norway, but here most guys had terrible posture, so just by having good posture I appear 6' comparatively. Look up videos about hunched/rolled shoulders, anterior pelvic tilt, and Mike Mew's jaw/face positioning. How you hold your face, shoulders, chest, and spine all factors into it, and it's not even an exercise but just maintaining good posture while standing/walking/sitting. Your posture often reflects your mental state and both can affect each other, so do things that raise testosterone, get some vitamin D, and stand confidently. In addition to all that, having a strong back also improves the way you stand and sit.

Ultimately the best way to improve posture is to talk to a chiropractor about it and let him correct you IRL if possible. I hope the anon you responded to posts specific exercises, but habits alone are enough to make very noticable improvements, not to your actual height but to your perceived height.

>Do you know the name of the exercises?

I don't know the names, but in any case consider that they are tailored on my specific condition.

If you have bad posture you should go to a physiatrist and he will make a proper diagnosis and send you to a physical therapist.

Without doing some maneuvers and x-rays it's impossible to get a real and proper diagnosis, so finding stretching exercises online is useless if not dangerous.

In fact before going to the doctors I tried to search online for exercises to fix my pain/posture, based on what I saw, and while I found some exercises none of them were then assigned to me by the doctor when I went to fix the thing properly. Not only that, but even the way you have to do the exercises, and the duration, it's not something I saw online before.

This means that if I had started to do the exercises I found online I could've worsen my condition. After all I don't know shit about the human skeleton and muscles, aside from the basics you can find in any strength training manual.

Fixing posture it's not like increasing physical strength, exercises depend on each person and you need a precise diagnosis.

Aside from the 2cm, it was a great improvement in my well being. If anything it keeps me on check since I have to train everyday.

If you have bad posture, be smarter than 99% of modern people and go to a doctor to fix the problem for real. More important don't waste time. It took me years to go and I could've had better results if I went years ago.

Good luck

Wear boots.

>Do you know the name of the exercises?

didn't really want to bump this dump thread

but for each person this would be different, there is no one-exercise to cure all posture defects

pic related is an common issue that I too deal with, apparently caused by too much sitting

one pretty good video posture, not showing exercises and stretches, but more on remembering to keep posture at all times and balances

Just wear fancy shoes. They usually have 2 inch heels that should do the job. Girls can't tell the difference btw 6'0 and 5'9

>personality, charisma and confidence

fuck off. i'm in it for REAL GAINZ ONLY

Bang a girl that is not from giants lands. Pb solved.
