Question?

[Arch]

I heard that if you lift weights like for your arms at a younger age like before your 16 or 18 it stunts your growth meaning you wont get much taller kind of like how they tell you drink Coca-Cola does

Was wondering if this is true.... im only asking cuz i know this rly short kid who lifts alot of weights and well... hes damn short so yeah

[GhostFace-]

my mom told me it was how much weight im 14 and lift 10 lbs daily.

i think if i lifted like 20-30 lbs it may affect my height.

but yee im tall i guess 5'8 ft

Hang on, what was the Cola thing about?

[Supersam]

Yes.

If you weightlift at a young age it will stunt your growth. If you want to do muscle excercises then do things like press-ups etc.

[Dudey!]

No, lifting weights at a young age WONT stunt your growth.

Its only if you take steroids your growth will be stunted, its a common misconception. If anything it will increase growth as more testosterone will be released..
