How Does Body Building Affect The Growth Of A Teenage?
Written by admin on September 6, 2009I was thinking about building my body since i have a short height...would it affect it the more?
Much, much, much more important for a young teen to build up his stamina through aerobic exercise (running, calisthenics, jazzercise, etc).
It starts with a trip to your doctor to have your vital signs like blood-pressure taken, and to get tips on a training regimen and a healthy diet.
Unless you are close to fully grown, weight-lifting or body-building is not the way to go.

i’m pretty sure I played football in hs and now I regret it. I used to squat a lot like almost 300 lbs and I think that affected my height. Now i’m 20 and only 5-8. I’ll do anything to grow a few more inches. workout but not with too much weight specially squats.

yeah instead of letting your bones grow you are building muscle and it could stunt your growth

It is unwise to start weightlifting under the age of 16 – to give your muscles time to fully develop. You cannot enlarge muscles that haven’t completely developed. If you are over age 16 – to achieve the results desired, you MUST be dedicated, disciplined, & determined or you can forget it. It means dumping junk food, fast food garbage & sugary sweet soda’s & eating healthy. No smoking, no beer, no booze & no drugs.

There are currently no randomized clinical trials demonstrating that lifting weights as a teen stunts your growth. Teenagers may be more likely to be injured by lifting, i.e. inexperience and improper lifting techniques.
