<p>Male 17, 5'9"</p>
<p>This thread makes me feel short.</p>
<p>5'11, 15 years old. I swear I haven't grown much since I started weight lifting.</p>
<p>Lifting a lot of weights that young is gonna stunt your growth.</p>
<p>Bleh, 15 and 5'11...I consider that fairly tall.</p>
<p>I heard growth stops around 20-ish, although I'm never sure because I know people that stopped growing since 16 and shorties that STARTED growing since FRESHMAN year of COLLEGE. Weird.</p>
<p>Male, 16, now 6'0 exactly.</p>

OP: You know the average height of adult males in the US is 5'9.3", right? You're above average.

Nah, I think it's 5'10" or 5'11" these days. It seems like guys are usually 5'8"-6'2".</p>

Yeah, but the thing is that I don't really believe it. Do you believe that half the male population is 5'9" & below?</p>
<p>No one said half the male population is 5'9" and below. That statistic is for the average male, so there's a good number of people shorter and taller than 5'9".</p>
<p>Not so much for the younger generation.</p>
