stunted growth with squatting???

I'm only 5'9" (I wouldn't mind being 6 foot) but if I was 6'3" at 16 I would be trying everything to stunt my growth.

But i too would like a answer to the question even if it doesn't matter for him.

This has been discussed before. No it is not possible. Malnutrition stunts your growth. Training with squats and other heavy compounds does not (IF anything they would stimulate it).

Why would you want to stop at 6'3. I am about 6'3 1/2 or 6'4 depending on time of measurement. I love being tall. I could not imagine being short. Also at 16 he still has significant time to grow more. But I have never seen a study that says squating stunts your growth.

Ha.
I'd actually rather be average height than super tall. Easier to buy clothes this way...Last edited by Invain; 09-09-2006 at 10:04 PM.

It doesn't matter how tall or short you are, if you're a bodybuilder finding clothes that fit is always going to be tough, lol. Originally Posted by Invain

Be careful, maxing out at more then 150 pounds will definately stunt your growth.
Stop worrying and lift.

deadlifting can make you a bit shorter, or so I've read on here. I really hesitate to tell you that though, because you really should still do them.

I don't envy tall people. I just find it annoying when people make stupid comments like that while completely disregarding everyone else who may read it. I like being short. I can't imagine being anything else. Originally Posted by ancom41

Finding clothes isn't a problem for me... It's growing out of them that's the problem. Originally Posted by bjohnso

I've read that on here before from what I remember to be a fairly reputable poster, although I can't find it right now. If I do, I will post it up. Originally Posted by sCaRz*Of*PaiN
