Actually it won't, but as u train bigger, it seems u grow shorter, y? Actually it is cause by commonly see fat or plump ppl bigger in size but shorter. So , when u get bigger size body due to weight training, u got the thought tat u look shorter. In fact, weight training will not hinder growth of height, but be cautious not to drop the weight or ur toes, else u wil look realli short.

although there isn't any proof that weight training will hinder your growth, but alot of bodybuilders has commented that their height has dropped by 1-2cm?

Before reaching adulthood, weight training combined with a nutritious diet and plenty of sleep will maximise your height, NOT hinder it.
Reason is because weight training maximise human growth hormone production which cause long bones to lenghten. Besides height, when done correctly, wt training can also broaden you shoulders to as much as possible. Must be done before adulthood is reached.
The only way wt training can STUNT height is when steroids are used to create muscle growth. Steroids abused/usage will cause pre-mature closure of the sections on long bones that caused lenghtening. As a result, maximum height was never attained.
So....the bottom line is......weight traing will not hinder a person from reaching maximum height when done correctly. -
yes it is true that weight training will help accelerate your growth in terms of height if we eat right and train right....
As you train and exert force, your body would produce more growth hormones to cope with the muscle stresses and indirectly help your gorwth speed.... -
Any way anyone who is still growing can try to do heavy squats with good form to growth faster as this is a very taxing and energy expending exercise so there will be much more growth hormones released that way....
-
yup...it is quite true that proper weight training with a gd diet will maximise growth and not stunt it...
but u have to take extra care of your form when doing heavy weights n compound exercises esp heavy squats...cos ur bones are still maturing during puberty and is relatively brittle
bottom line is...concentrate on form, and not doing heavy weights
hv fun training

i would say... YES in some sense... for example during ur workout, u might carry heavy weights in an upwards manner (traing shoulder portions... rite?)... then, the weight might make u shorter...
i was 1.86m last time when playing basketball and after my NS i feel the need to go gym... now, my height is onli 1.82m... see wat i mean??? moreover, i already over my puberty period.. i started training weights @ 23yr old... so?....
Better not go gym during ur puberty times... if u are already dat tall like over 1.78m... then okay lar... else... tink twice..Originally posted by Ray87:As above, advice needed.
