will weightlifting stunt your growth?

[Weirdo123]

i'm 14 and i go to the weight room almost every day. But my bro says that it's going to stunt my growth. What do u think?

It's a myth. There was some conclusions that it would mess up bone growth and cause early joint deterioration but there are studies now that say that that is not the case.


Hard to believe, but the internet can be used for more than just Conquer Club and porn, so Google it for 1/2 an hour and see what you get.

As well, get your ass to your doctor for a professional opinion, and a physical to test blood pressure and assess heart rate. This plus your base height and measurements will be recorded so that when you go back in a year you can truly see your gains, and give your ego and self confidence a nice polish.

Good luck and remember to eat properly.
