Weight lifting will not effect your genetic height potential (nor will anything else)!.

Nope!. Weight lifting does not stunt growth!. Period!. I still wouldn't suggest it for someone not yet in their teens, but by 14 it's just fine!. Make sure you learn proper form though; anyone can hurt themselves by doing the lifts incorrectly,Www@Answer-Health@Com

it shouldn't stunt your growth!. i'm pretty sure it's a myth!. you'll be fine, you won't stop growing!. it's not stopping me from growing!. but then too i'm not really tall!. haha!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

nah but it could stunt his muscle development in the future , id warn him to leave it a year otherwise his arms will most probably **** upWww@Answer-Health@Com

No but in later life if lifts to much without been conditioned, he will have a very bad back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't believe so, cause Arnold starting lifting at 14, but to be safe check with a doctor first to be totally sureWww@Answer-Health@Com

no, height connects to family genes, not based on workout out!.
