Answers:
Growth is only stunted (not stumped ;)) by improper form!. If you lift safely with good form and a full range of motion, you should be fine!.

If you're not sure, ask someone knowledgeable to check your form!. One way to do this is to simply ask someone at the gym!. If you're not comfortable with that, you can go to a bodybuilding forum and post a youtube video of your lifting to get critiques on your formWww@Answer-Health@Com

Lifting weights will not and does not stunt growth!. There is scientific evidence that proves lifting weights stunts growth!. It's just an old wives tale!. People have been saying that since Bodybuilding became popular in the 1960's!. As soon as they show us some scientific evidence, it can't be proven!. It started because of the growth plate thing and not fusing together!. I started Bodybuilding at 15, I was 5'7", I am now 17 and 5'9"!. Obviously it does not stunt growth!. I am a lot bigger than I was back then!. I gained 35lbs of muscle in a little over a year!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The term is "stunt your growth" and exercise has no effect!.

Height is determined by genetics - how tall your parents and grandparents were - but nobody can determine in advance how tall you'll be!. There's nothing you can do to alter it, up or down!.

Exercise away!.

No!. It is a myth!. Look at all the professional basketball players they lifted weights and play basketball and swam!.
You should include some vertical extension exercises as well!. Play basketball, Valley ball, swim

Eat foods high in calcium and good proteins!. Milk fortified with Vitamin D, Spinach!. Eggs are the best proteins!. Don't smoke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do not think exercising stump your growth, exercising is good for your body!. Your body will grow to the right height no matter what you do but it will be better if you ask an exercise trainer!. You can go to Baily's or to some gym where they know better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Uh no!. Exercise will not stop your growth in anyway!. Growth is all about genetics - but if you want to help yourself, just make sure you eat a balanced, healthy diet!. Make sure you feed yourself the nutrients you need for your body to grow!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Where would you get something like that from!? I'm 6'5 and I exercise all the time!. Depression stumps your growth, worrying, and stress stunts your growth !. If these are some things you experience often then you're probably a shorty!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

The word would be "stunt" not stump!. Anyway - exercise is good for you and will not stunt your growth!. Stunt your growth would be to inhibit your growth - to slow it down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no keep lifting in a reasonable manner, Lifting weight stimulates your body to release growth hormone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
