Your growth plates NEVER close (SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN)

Summary

The video claims growth plates never actually close, allowing you to grow taller at any age. It explains growth plates are made of hyaline cartilage which can turn into bone through endochondral ossification. While epiphyseal cartilage ossifies over time, articular cartilage remains and its cells can turn into bone-forming cells. Through mechanical tension and chemical stimuli like protein, HGH, and IGF-1, articular cartilage can be triggered to form new growth plates. Specific exercises, diet, and lifestyle changes are recommended to optimize levels of these chemicals and grow taller.

Q & A

What are growth plates?

Growth plates are thin layers of cartilage sitting at the end of your bones. They are also called the epiphyseal plates or epiphysis.

What type of cartilage makes up the growth plates?

The growth plates contain a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage, which is different from the elastic cartilage found in body parts like the ears.

How does endochondral ossification allow you to grow taller?

Through endochondral ossification, the cartilage cells (chondrocytes) in the growth plates slowly turn into bone cells. As more cartilage turns into bone, the growth plates grow in size, making you taller.

Why doesn't articular cartilage turn into bone?

Articular cartilage contains articular chondrocytes that cannot directly turn into bone cells. This allows body parts like the knees and ankles to move flexibly.

Can articular cartilage turn into growth plates?

Yes, articular chondrocytes can turn into epiphyseal chondrocytes, which do have the ability to turn into bone through endochondral ossification. So articular cartilage can form new growth plates.

What is the difference between tensional and compressive force?

Exercises that generate tensional force on the bones stimulates them to increase in length. Compressive forces cause bones to become wider and shorter.

How can you increase HGH levels?

Eat at least 125g protein daily, get enough sleep, and do short, intense sprints. Supplements like L-arginine also help boost HGH.

Why is insulin important for bone growth?

Insulin helps produce insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which works together with HGH to stimulate bone growth. Spiking insulin after HGH exercise optimizes IGF-1.

What is the best time to eat carbs/sugar to increase bone growth?

Eat carbs/sugar after completing HGH-boosting sprints. This spikes insulin when HGH levels are already high, optimizing IGF-1 production.

Where can I find specialized programs to help grow taller?

The video creator recommends the Skyscraper Method for exercises and Growth Hormone Optimization for supplementing diet and lifestyle changes. Check the description.

😮 Turning Articular Cartilage into Growth Plates

This paragraph explains that while growth plate cartilage may ossify, articular cartilage in joints never fully turns to bone. Its cells can turn into growth plate cells, so by stimulating them mechanically and chemically, you may be able to grow taller by creating new growth plates.

Keywords

💡growth plates

Growth plates are areas of cartilage at the ends of bones where new bone growth takes place. They are essential for bone lengthening and height growth. The video claims growth plates never truly close but can keep growing taller at any age.

💡hyaline cartilage

The type of cartilage found in growth plates. It can turn into bone through endochondral ossification. The video says some hyaline cartilage remains in the form of articular cartilage allowing further bone growth.

💡endochondral ossification

The process by which cartilage turns into bone. It happens at the growth plates to lengthen bones. The video explains how it works on a cellular level by cartilage cells turning into bone cells.

💡articular cartilage

Cartilage at joints that never ossifies to allow joint movement. The video claims it can turn into growth plate cartilage and bone to make you grow taller.

💡mechanical stimuli

Forces on bone from exercise that triggers growth mechanisms. Video recommends exercises applying tension not compression.

💡chemical stimuli

Refers to hormones and growth factors like HGH and IGF-1 that regulate growth. Video gives tips on optimizing levels naturally.

💡HGH

Human growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Precursor to IGF-1 so video says raising HGH raises IGF-1 which can make you grow taller.

💡IGF-1

Insulin-like growth factor 1 - a protein promoting bone growth. Video explains optimizing HGH and insulin can boost IGF-1 levels.

💡insulin

💡protein

Nutrient to eat daily to provide amino acids that raise HGH levels for growth.

Highlights

Growth plates are thin layers of cartilage at the end of bones that enable lengthening

Growth plates contain hyaline cartilage which can turn into bone through endochondral ossification

Eventually most growth plate cartilage turns to bone, but some remains as articular cartilage

Articular cartilage can turn into growth plate cartilage which then ossifies to enable lengthening

Growth plates may never truly close since articular cartilage remains able to form them

Studies show cartilage can continually form new growth plates to enable bone lengthening

Tensional exercises trigger growth signals by mechanically stimulating bones to lengthen

Amino acids like L-arginine greatly increase growth hormone which enables bone growth

Sprinting boosts growth hormone levels which stimulate production of the lengthening factor IGF-1

Transcripts

your growth plates never close watch to

grow taller welcome to another YouTube

video on my Channel today I will be

explaining to you that your growth

plates never actually close and that you

are actually able to grow taller at any

age

before we dive in make sure you have

downloaded the free ebook which I have

Linked In the description which gives

you two free exercises you can try at

home to grow taller also make sure you

subscribe to my channel and turn on

notifications so you'll never miss a

video

enough said let's begin

you've probably heard about growth

plates and the so-called fact that if

they are closed you will not grow taller

anymore

but science is progressing every day and

new scientific evidence has suggested

that growing taller can occur at any age

and that this may be because of the fact

that your growth plates never close

I will explain the full science of this

in the video but before you need to know

what growth plates are and how they work

growth plates are thin layers of

cartilage sitting at the end of your

bones and are called the epiphyseal

plates or epiphysis in science and

biology

the type of cartilage of which your

growth plates are made is different from

the cartilage you would find for example

in your ears

while your ears contain elastic

cartilage the growth plates contain a

type of cartilage called hyaline

cartilage you need to remember this term

because we will return to it later in

the video

now most of the longitudinal bone growth

in Children and adolescents comes from

the epiphyseal plates but how does this

process actually work where you grow

taller from your growth plates

it all happens through a process called

endochondral ossification

the epiphyseal plates are made out of

loads of cartilage cells which are

called chondrocytes these chondrocytes

have the ability to slowly but surely

turn into bone cells to put it more

simply cartilage cells turn into bone

cells or cartilage turns into bone when

cartilage changes into bone we call this

endochondral ossification

when you are going through a growth

spurt your epiphyseal cartilage is

growing in size and each time your

epiphyseal cartilage grows some of the

cartilage turns into bone

this process keeps on going in your

growth plates until the entire

epiphyseal cartilage has turned into

bone it is fully ossified and according

to most scientists now your growth

plates have closed and there is no way

for you to grow taller anymore

but this is only a half truth while it

is true that your epiphyseal cartilage

has mostly closed down your growth

plates are still actually open and you

will still be able to grow taller for

this you need to remember which type of

cartilage the epiphyseal plates are made

of which I told you at the beginning of

this video hyaline cartilage is what the

epiphyseal plates are made out of an

endochondral ossification can occur at

this type of cartilage

now look at the following picture

you can see that your entire bone was

once fully made out of cartilage slowly

but surely most of this hyaline

cartilage is replaced by bone through

endochondral ossification until only the

epiphyseal plate and articular cartilage

is left

with the epiphyseal cartilage also

turning into bone over some time the

articular cartilage is the only form of

hyaline cartilage left in your bones

we have already talked about the

epiphyseal plates at length but nothing

about the articular cartilage yet the

articular cartilage is located in your

knees ankles spine and other places this

type of cartilage never fully ossifies

because if it would turn into bone

completely your body wouldn't be able to

move well the articular cartilage is

made out of articular chondrocytes in

this way they are different from the

chondrocytes in your epiphysis which are

called epiphyseal chondrocytes unlike

the chondrocytes in the epiphyseal

plates the articular chondrocytes cannot

turn into bone cells directly

now comes a quick overview epiphyseal

cartilage turns into bone because it is

made out of epiphyseal chondrocytes

which after a long process turns into

bone the articular cartilage consists

out of articular chondrocytes and these

are unable to turn into bone but while

the articular chondrocytes can't turn

into bone they can turn into epiphyseal

chondrocytes and those do have the

ability to turn into bone this means

that you can turn the articular

cartilage in your knees ankles and spine

into your own growth plates and to make

things even better the articular

cartilage never closes or better said

your growth plates never close this

claim has been backed by a big amount of

studies which I have all Linked In the

description down below

in the book called fracture repair and

generation from Brian Keith Hall it's

even stated that every type of cartilage

or cartilage forming tissue may be able

to form a growth plate but how do you

trigger this change where the articular

chondrocytes change into epiphyseal

chondrocytes

it all comes down to a stimuli which

triggers this change and there are two

types of stimuli which are important

here mechanical stimuli and chemical

stimuli

now when we talk about mechanical

stimuli we generally talk about the

force that transfers over to the bone

this mechanical stimuli can come from

landing on your feet and letting your

bones absorb all the force they can come

from the constant force and pull of your

muscles during for example an arm

wrestling match or they can come from a

combination of both which would happen

when you sprint for example

what is important is that the exercises

you use to generate this mechanical

stimuli generates tensional force and

not a compressive Force since tension on

the bones will stimulate them to

increase in length and compressive

forces stimulate the bone to become

wider and shorter

in the description I have linked a

program called the skyscraper method

which completely lines out all the best

exercises you can use to generate

tensional Force to lengthen specific

bones like your legs spine hands

forearms and so on so make sure you

check it out

now the second thing you need is

chemical stimuli now when I say chemical

I'm not talking about injecting

chemicals like plastic in your body no I

am talking about chemicals that occur

naturally in your body such as hormones

growth factors and certain proteins the

most important chemicals are the hormone

HGH and the growth factor igf-1 HGH is

created by your pituitary gland and is

the precursor of igf-1 so if you want to

increase the levels of igf-1 in your

body you would first of all need to

obtain higher levels of HGH to increase

HGH in your body you can do the

following things first of all eat at

least 125 grams of protein daily amino

acids which are in protein are

absolutely essential to increase HGH

levels for example the amino acid

L-Arginine has the power to increase HGH

levels with 400 percent second of all

sleep not going to explain this one

third one is some good old sprinting

this one is very easy you will need to

do five Sprints of 10 seconds where you

just go at the maximum speed you can

like you are chasing a prey and you are

the Predator between each Sprint you

take one to three minutes of rest do

this two to three times per week and you

will experience a big increase in growth

hormone levels now while all these three

things I just listed will already

increase igf-1 you need to do another

thing too igf-1 stands for insulin like

growth factor one and the name already

gives it away insulin is crucial for the

creation of this growth factor and so is

HGH the problem is that insulin and HGH

are antagonistic meaning that if insulin

raises HGH goes down

this is why if you want to have the

highest levels of igf-1 you can have you

need to have high levels of HGH before

you spike your insulin

this is why I recommend the following

just eat high amounts of protein the

entire day and then I the afternoon or

evening you will do some Sprints which

will assure that your HGH levels Spike

then after you completed the Sprints you

want to spike your insulin with a meal

containing lots of carbs or drink some

milk with two to three tablespoons of

white sugar this will spike your insulin

and when high HGH and high insulin

levels are eye your body this will

create high levels of igf-1 if you truly

want to level up and increase your HGH

and igf-1 levels to the absolute Max

which is humanely possible I suggest you

check out the program called growth

hormone optimization which I have also

linked in the description it is also an

option to get the skyscraper method and

growth hormone optimization in a bundle

which I've also linked in the

description
