How much more do I grow after 16?
I am 16 years old. I am 5'8. How much more can I grow? My question is: can I grow until 6 feet? Every single day I drink a gallon of water and there is no junk food at my house to begin with. I lift 7 days a week. I am very healthy can I grow 4 more inches. I know genetics plays a huge role but I just dont think I am done growing. My growth plates did not close. One more thing: is 5'8 short for a 16 year old or is it average? Plz answer.

Average adult size in the USA is 5'8.5''. And genetics plays THE role in your height, it determines how tall you will be. No matter how you eat or exercise those won't impact your final height. Don't set a height goal, as you have no way to influence that goal. How tall are your dad and granddads? those are close indicators of what your potential height may be, give or take a couple of inches.
