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.
The growth spurt for males starts at about age 11, versus age 9 or 10 for females, according to WebMD. Boys can grow up to 4 inches a year during the growth-spurt period. Males stop growing when puberty ends and their growth plates close, preventing additional growth. Even when a man's arms and legs are at their full length, the chest and shoulders continue to expand until about age 20, notes the BBC.
