No. Rumors like this go around sometimes, but they're patently untrue.

Work out and enjoy the results!

no

no, but you build muscles by stretching them and letting them re-grow larger.
consult a gym teacher or lifting instructor for more information.

yes it can if you bench too much weight...when you bench too much weight the plates in you knees and other places can apply pressure to them when you work out. so lifting weights is good but don't overdo it.
