Getting Taller From Gear?

[SomeFatAss]

I read Jose Canseco's first book yesterday, and something he said didn't seem right to me. He stated that before using gear he was 5'11" 190 and scrawny. After using his choice of gear (some combination of HGH, test, DBol , Deca and Winstrol from what I gather) he got to 6'4" 240. Based on the dates he gave, he was either 20 or 21 when he started using gear, so I don't think he had another 5 inches to grow at that point. After doing a search here and reading a bunch of threads on the topic, the general consensus is that gear isn't going to make you this much taller, even if your growth plates are still open. Assuming these numbers are all real, how did he suddenly grow 5 inches taller over a 1-2 year period (he isn't exactly clear on the timeline) after puberty? Is this a genetic outlier where it would have happened with or without gear? I'm confused.

I don't have any experience with HGH but I'm pretty sure that neither HGH or AAS will cause your bone structure to grow or only in rare cases which would probably look more like a deformity.

Like you said based on the dates it is possible he just went through a "filling out" phase as he made a shift into man-hood and well all the gear just amplified that.

He's likely exaggerating.
They can make you taller if you're hypogonadal during puberty, but not like that.

I know a guy who grew over 2 inches in a year when he was 20. So growing taller can still occur in your 20's. A
Though he wasn't on any form of gear.

Jose Canseco's is not a good source. Maybe his test booster can make you grow and look like him as well. LOL

This is coming from a guy that says you can take Anavar year round....
