Late bloomer: As you notice other signs of late puberty, like facial hair, you will see more muscle growth. Testosterone boosts muscle growth but you also will need to exercise. If wt lifting while you are still getting taller focus on reps rather than high weight to protect your growth plates. Be patient!
