Question

Am i underweight for my height? Also, would bench pressing regularly stop me from growing? I'm almost 16

What can i do to increase my height?

thanks

Answer 1

Your height is genetic...so there is no control over that, although you can make yourself appear taller by wearing shoes that give you that appearance...try the site below for tips on to look taller. As for weight lifting i have been weight lifting since 15 and it has not stunted my growth...its just a myth that it stunts growth...almost all high school basketball stars weight lift and they're tall which is more proof that it doesn't hurt your height. If you start lifting you will gain more weight.

Answer 5

I think you are underweight, not sure. You could use hormones or supplements to increase height, maybe. And move around a lot! Be active!

Answer 6

Go by your bodyfat percentage not BMI what i think is what you are measuring yourself to.
