If you do strength workout then yes, you will stunt you r growth!. However, if you work on endurance and toning, then no!.

HIGH REPS + LIGHT WEIGHT = Tone, definition, fat loss, tight muscles look

HEAVY WEIGHT + LOW REPS = bulk/ strength/ Huge/ Arnold schwarznegger!.

So at this stage, just focus on high reps which will increase you metabolism, burn fat, tone your arms as well as building muscle and becoming athletic!.
