DET, because the plate have not fully fuse does not mean the bones are still elongating. 90% of bone growth ends at age 17 for males. The remaining 10 may or may not even happen and will occur before age 21. Do think I didn't read the article I posted? I know the info in my sleep... I don't need to read 100 times.
This article was illustrating a bigger picture about the physiology of bone development. the fact that you skimmed over information to look for a shred of evidence to back your POV speaks volumes.
I am prolly older than you, bro. No need to try and call me out. I prolly am smarter than most forum members about some stuff. Just as you are.
If you can, design a rolling offset 4" sch 90 pipe at 56 degree angle with a 4'2" 1/16 set and a 5'5"7/16 run on side B of the 2nd dimension and explaining the fittings used and the weld gap and the 3rd dimensional length of travel... I'd be interested.
You prolly can't... I can, easily. Just like there is stuff you know which maybe I have no clue. No need to get panties in a wad.
Listen buddy, I don't have to do, I tell people what to do, its always been that way for me.
You keep veering off track, posting information that is irrelevant to our argument. You keep posting information relating to how the bones grow and develop, yet nothing on the time frame for when the stop.
You have insulted my intelligence on numerous occasions in this thread, you brought this on your self, so don't go back pedaling now telling me not to get my panties in a wad.
I posted that the OP should go to the doc to make sure his plates are closed before he cycles, so he would have no regrets later down the road. to make sure, so there is no question. already myself and zeek both told you that we grew 2 inches in our mid twenties, I have also heard numerous other members on the site with the same experience. BTW most people stop when they are 21, just so you know.
You then make this post:
how old is the op? bro, you not going to grow at epiphyseal plates after age 19-20. If you have a genetic disorder possible, but highly unlikely. And a MD wouldn't be able to determine that. You plates will not "fuse" until 21-24 years old... doesn't mean you are still growing. The process of osteoclast and osteoblasts recomposing and decomposing calcium at higher rates is likely the causation for the halting of the bone deposits fusing. The hormones in your body are signalling for more calcium for muscle, cardiac and... well... many uses for the human body at a young age.
In this post you have clearly implied or stated 3 things:
1. The growth of bones is done by age 19.
2. That a doctor can not tell you that you are done growing.
3. Insulted my intelligence.
Now you want cite referrences on the mechanics of bone growth, thinking it somehow proves your point, which it does not.
What happened to your Empirical data
showing when adolescents stop growing?
Now your posting more information that your professor in MED school is cramming down your throat, information that has more to do with osteoporosis than anything, information i just don't care to absorb.
You have now backed yourself into a corner, because you have no argument, you can not tell this young man he is done growing, as a matter of fact, it shows YOUR age since you are so worried about this subject. I bet your 22? older than me, not by 10 years buddy.
now you want to dismiss me and say learn how to build a bobsled and then i will talk to you, so yo can buy more time to support your argument.
Try all you want, I have scoured the net, scholarly articles and all, and no one can tell you when the plates are closed and growth has halted, cause its different for everyone.
What do we know? High amounts of estrogen in the blood cause closure of the plates, and when that happens, it is 100% that you have stopped growing...........................
so what is your point again? in your own words?
something like: the transport of minerals and vitamins to the bones are responsible for elongation of the bone, and that doesn't happen after age 17?
OK fine, now prove it, don't prove what causes them to grow, prove when they stop please.........................
