Early age weightlifting stunting growth? Posted: 07-28-03 11:54am


I started lifting heavy weights in the 7th grade. I'm now a senior. I'm very built, but I'm not as tall as the rest of my family. I'm about 5"8 with 145 lbs, and I'm wondering if my growth has been stunted due to early age weightlifting. Any ideas? Patrick

Yeah I thought the same exact thing when I lifted weight and squats etc. But they did tests and studies and they found out its just a myth. Your height is to family genes and also many other thing factor into sleep streching. Take it is man

No lifting weights early has no effect on your growth, and is a dumb myth. Your height is figured by genetics. Weight lifting cant make you grow less. Think about it, it doesnt make sense. Dont worry about your height case you wont be able to do anything about it.
