View Full Version : Myth that i get bothered about is it true?
Is it true working out at a young age can stunt your growth since i started workin out i've seen all my friends sprout past me n they say its cause i lift weights. since grade 8 i've only grown about 2 n a half inches im in grade 11 and i now stand at 5'10.
My mom says i probobly will start growing late grade 11 through grade 12 like her brother because he was my size till about now and he is now 6'3. My moms about 5'8 and my dad was 6'1 till he broke his back and had his spine fused and now stands at 5'9.

Just because you're not getting bigger doesn't mean the myth as a whole is true... you're only one case. Plus there are tons of other factors that go into how tall one is. Sounds like you might understand this anyway considering you are still in grade 11 AND have been told that you are a late bloomer.
What's wrong, 5'10" not good enough for ya or what?
^ i was hoping to be 6'1 lol

5'10'' is not what I would consider short. You're only 16, you still have plenty of time to grow.

Working out alone may not stunt growth but using steroids before youve stopped growing can. Stay natty and you should be ok.
yeah...steroids arent on my to do list so no worries about that

That's what steroid users probably always say in the beginning LOL. First stage of steroid use is denial hahhahaha.
No but seriously I definitely think steroids get a bad wrap in general, it's a taboo topic. Yes in your case it would be really bad to do 'roids due to your age but in general I think once people due research and learn what's really going on then steroids become a lot more tantalizing. Main thing that keeps me from trying it is not quite the side effects of using it for a short amount of time but rather the lack of satisfaction that I would get from the decreased games after usage stops.

i've just never been interested in them i prefer to earn everything i get. Also that would make me a hypocrite after all the raggin i do on the walking pharmacy at my school

I'm with you Kayo. My town is really bad about drugs and I used to be wrapped up in it too. I got clean about 2 years ago and I quit cold turkey. I was never really bad into them but more than your occational user. I have been seriously interested in trying a cycle. I've been researching here and on other sites for about 8 months now and also a good friend of mine has done 2 cycles and they worked wonders for him. He told me his cycle spec's and it basically followed "the first cycle" sticky in the anabolic zone. I have wanted to try them but feel I will feel like a hypocrite for ragging on all the other people here in town for doing drugs. But from all the posts I've read on here, its not necessarily cheating. It's results you could possibly get on your own, you just speed up the process so that something that would take you about a year to do natty, you can get done in 3-4 months.
Also with being an athlete i'l of felt that i cheated to win

Although I think gymnastics stunts growth...not that its weight lifting but its alike.

Well thinking that it stunts growth is different from it actually stunting growth. Off the top of my head I don't know why it would stunt growth, I think you are mistaking stunted growth for the fact that taller gymnasts get weeded out. Just like you couldn't say that "playing basketball makes you taller"... it's just that the short players are less likely to make it to the big show.

You have like 8 more years to grow...won't be as fast as your initial growth spurt, but you're not old.

dude! your worried about not being taller than 5'10? Sense i've been out of high school, i think i grew an inch or more, now i stand a mammonth size of 5'7. A tumor is a serious problem not this. Also, the myth is false, i actually think that weightlifting helped me grown.

You should have thought of this before you lifted weights, eh?
It's a well documented fact that weight lifting at a young age DOES stunt your growth. It also gives you a small penis. It also stunts your brain growth - you'll be much more idiotic since you've been lifting. Lifting when young also leads to chemical dependence - you'll be a druggie before you know it. Also, those who lifted when young have bad kids... Like mentally handicapped kids. You'll have babies with extra chromo thanks to your lifting. Young lifters also exhibit signs of brain damage. Their balls can spontaneously explode in their scrotum - it can and DOES happen. It's also possible (and very VERY likely) that you'll enter into a life of crime because of your lifting. I wouldn't be surprised if you become a male prostitute. It's common amongst young lifters.

I grew another 2 inches after I graduated high school, if it makes you feel better. 5'10" is about the average height for men in this country though, so don't expect too much more unless your parents are tall.

Might be right about that, But its not something i've observed its something I read. I'll see if I can dig it up.

I doubt he has 8 more years to grow. I would say 4, maybe 5 tops. I'm pretty sure I stopped growing at 18. Although, I'm 6'1'' so it doesn't bother me.
Gyno, he gave you one word.
Regarding his penis size, he states the fact that he is Jamaican.
Jamaican is now a word for a very large penis, or maybe just a word.
Girl to girl : so how was his...eh...jamaican?
girl: ooh...it was..very jamaican...
Dont let em fooool ya, oooh no, badam babbaa oooh yeah

While some would notice they may stop growing earlier (I'd say I stopped around 20 and started shrinking), males have been documented to keep growing until they're about 24 or so.
