the height thing...

shrek · 02-08-2008, 03:57 PM

I've heard u don stop growing tall while bodybuilding unless u're burning more calories per day than taking in, but da problem is, I haven been able to find any proper way of how much I'm burning at the gym in my workouts, and when I recently measured my height, I was horrified to find it xactly as 3 months back,i.e. 5,8"...I'm 18 yr-old any my brother, who's about 22, is a little more than 5,10". He doesnt life weights while I've been bodybuilding since 8 months now...has anybody else had the same problem?

Height is mainly genetics, nothing much you can do about it. Some of the best bodybuilders aren't/haven't been that tall such as Franco Columbu.

rite but the question is, can training with weights hinder your height genes from letting u grow up maximally..

only if you do something stupid and mess up your growth plates. Typically that stupid thing is either:

a) to much training volume (or even exercise volume in a high impact sport)

b) To much intensity (especially if this is done to frequenty, causing you to strain under load).

c) a combination of the two
