There is a perception that hover on the bar helps to increase growth. Is it really so? Whether unhappy with their height to try to correct this injustice? Let's find out.

Will the crossbar to grow up?

It is known that stretches the spine in 2 positions: horizontal, lying on a flat surface and in a vertical, hanging on the crossbar.
To measure growth is best in the morning, after sleep. Typically, the difference between morning and evening measurements is 1-2 cm.
During this period, the load on vertebrae is missing, and the spine as it is stretched.

Hanging on the bar is optional to perform any exercise. Enough to hold on to the bar and relax the back. In this position it is necessary to hold for 2-3 min, take a break and begin a second approach.

Every day hanging on the bar to stretch the spine to 2 cm more, respectively, increase and growth. This applies not only to children and adolescents. An adult also may grow thus, due to the alignment of posture.

Exercises for growth on the bar

Human height stops after the disappearance of the germ zones. To know, there is a possibility to grow or not, making x-rays of the spine. If the zone is active, so it makes sense to train.


Exercises are added gradually. Start with a normal visa, 2 sets of 3 min. at the same time, you can add smooth torso twists left and right, 15 times on each side.

When the hands are used to, and you can hang 5-10 min for one approach, start to perform pull-UPS. Add lifts bent or straightened legs. Swing left/right or forward/backward.

After a while, when the back muscles will be strengthened, will be the legs to attach a small cargo weights, over time, increasing their mass. Pull the spine can not only hanging in the conventional position, but being upside down. For this exercise, the legs are fixed with a special belt, the execution time should not exceed 15 seconds.
