Does heavy lifting slow down growth?

Question

I heard that if you do heavy lifting while you are still growing then you won't grown as big as you should. Is that true?

Answer 1

Yes, because your not letting your muscles and bones strecht to its full potential, because of all the weight and pressure your adding on..

Answer 2

im not sure about slowing down your growth but if you lift too much or incorrectly and rupture a disc you can stunt your growth
