So, the most appropriate answer to questions like âwhat age do boys stop growingâ or âwhen do guys stop growingâ would be 18. However, there are a few cases where men continue to grow till 21 as well while there can be the odd exceptional case where a man might continue to grow till 25.
Men grow extremely fast between the ages of 11-15, and during this growth spurt the increase in height can be as much as 12 inches (30cm). After the age of 16 the increase in height is more gradual and boys usually stop growing between the ages of 17-20. So the majority of guys will reach their final height and stop growing when they are around 20 years old. During this growth phase, feet, hands, legs, and muscles start to grow. A manâs shoulders will also broaden and boys start to grow hair on their hands, legs, armpits, and chest.
