Will it stunt my growth if at 13 i can bench press 100 lbs?

Question

I recently started benching by using the pyramid technique and all of my friends say i will stunt my growth if i do keep benching.

Answer 1

i was doing 150 at 12, and I kept growing. Then again, I've been stuck at 5'2" for a while now... but I haven't benched in almost 2 years, so it's probably not related.

Answer 2

Wait a while.

Answer 3

Okay I come out of a gymnastic backround which had me lifting my own weight from the age of 7 up. I don't think this will hurt you at all, make sure you have a spotter though! Eat healthy and take multi vitamins and you will be fine!

Plus your hormones will be starting to kick in and you'll be able to build muscle like crazy once it peaks!
