Probably too late...: I'm sorry to tell you that most men stop growing around age 18- but occasionally some will grow until age 21 or so. No 20 yo will grow much and the vast majority are full-grown. Taking measures to increase your production of growth hormone might help (see http://bit.Ly/1cyctlq), but if your growth plates have closed (like most 20 yo's) then you've reached your max. You need to accept your height.
