Weight Lifting For Teenagers?

Question

Im 14 and 5'8. I want to be 6'2 or 6'3 by the end of high school. Will weight lifting now stunt my growth?

Answer 1

yes it will. it happened to my cousin, who would have been at least five inches taller, if he didn't start lifting as early as he did.

i would wait a while. just drink plenty of milk, and eat a ton of dairy products- that'll help you out. besides, your bones really start growing during junior and senior year of highschool. and they won't stop growing until you're at least 25.

Answer 2

no otherwise they wouldn't have teens lift for sports. At my high school if you go out for a sport you have to weight lift during the summer.

Answer 3

if u dont max out and go crazy, it shouldnt stunt your growth.

Answer 4

no it doesnt im 13 and i wanted to know the answer to this and i googled it and found this site it tells you all about it  

Answer 5

it wont stunt your growth

Answer 6

no if anything it might help u get taller faster, but dont count on it cuz if ur parents arent very tall its unlikely that u will become tall
