These are my current thoughts that have led me to believe that my growth plates are open, correct me if I’m wrong.

Low thyroid hormones - how I know? Cold hands, pale skin - high t4 and t3 accelerate closure of the growth plate

Low bodyfat - high body fat helps testosterone aromatize into estrogen

No facial hair or happy trail - half assed way of estimating tanner stage

Grew 3cm in 5 months

Low testosterone

Age 15.5

Is there a chance? Biomaxx Biomaxx birthdefect birthdefect - I would really like to know more about the height growth method

you're plates are probably open
why if you don't deadlift. why would they be closed at 15?!?!?!
technically right but i know you dont know what you're talking about
compression forces inhibit growth while tensile forces promote growth - heuter volksmann law
the reason why in some studies jumping (compression force) still ends up promoting longitudinal growth is because of muscle pull which then acts as a tensile force, likely enough to counteract the compression.

completely wrong, some people really do just get fucked over hard
