If Adam's cells continued to divide for 930 years, does that mean he grew into a giant?

According to Genesis 5:5, Adam lived for 930 years. From a biological standpoint, cell division is a key part of growth and aging.
My question is:
If Adam’s cells continued to divide over such a long lifespan, does that imply he may have experienced continuous physical growth, possibly resulting in a giant-like stature?
I'm especially interested in whether young-Earth creationist or literalist interpretations of Genesis support the idea that Adam was physically much larger than modern humans, particularly in light of ancient environments that may have included large animals (e.g., dinosaurs).
Or is it more likely that his size was similar to ours, and the long lifespan simply reflected slower aging without continuous physical growth?
