Does weight-lifting affect height?

[Soy]

Well ive been looking on google for a while and i was wondering does weight lifting actualy affect height in adolesence?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this ^^

[whoooosh]

I doubt it would, i mean all it does it tone you up ?

If it does, that'd explain a few things for my height.
I'm now 6 ft 4.. and my parents are both 5 ft 9ish.
And I've lifted weights (not constantly or regularly) since I was about 12.

So that'd explain a lot for me if it's true. :P

i thought it made u smaller? guess it depends on wot kinds of weights..

If you went on a weightlifting diet, eg Chicken and rice, of course you would because of high protein.

Darn, my secret of spinach eating is out -cries-

Nah Weight Lifting probably does affect your height (shorter) since it probably helps puts pressure on your body, over time I'd imagine that'd have a major impact on your body.

It might affect it slightly, but I imagine it will just make you look bigger/smalled because you will be more bulky etc.

I asked this gym staff at my leisure center and he said it does if you damage your leg joints or back. And by that he meant like your joints braking :p
