weight lifting

[baseballpro4life77]

Just wandering if you lift weights is it true it stuns your growth cause i dont think it does cause i started lifting about a year ago and i have grown from
5"1 to 5"6 since thanksgiving i dont lift super heavy but im starting to get pretty stong so my question is does weight lifting stun your growth?

Well obviously it doesn't because you grew 5 inches in 8 months! That's a lot

Weight training does not stunt your growth. There is NO conclusive evidence by official medical studies and you're proof that you can still grow while you if you weight train

any type of aerobic exercise (eventhough weight lifting is alot of anaerobics, too) will increase the body's use of oxygen and all those other fluids and hormones that can actually facilitate things like efficient metabolism, which can only make it easier for the body to grow.

I think you might be referring to the often used steroids that weight lifters use, which CAN interfere with bodily processes (and turn your testicles into raisins!).

YESS! Zach said it all with ASTONISHING TRUTH!
But do you want to gain mass or get stronger from lifting weights?

I read that if you want to build mass then you would want to lift heavier weights but if you want to get stringer you lift lighter ones for longer periods and more often. Is that right guys?

Both build muscle mass, of course :P
Although it's kinda hard to say, since I don't know much about that particularly and it's hard to find out on Google
What I found out is heavier weights make you stronger than more reps (lifts). Always be careful with heavier weights though

i heard it does if u do it b4 puberty but thats jiust what i heard

[tom223]

around 13 (year after hitting puberty) i started lifting, i'm 14 and have grown from 5"11 to 6"0 and i have been lifting since. So i think i'm living proof that it doesn't stunt your growth.

He could be just a small guy
And as said there is no scientific proof that it stunts your growth :|
