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.

yeah like danzik said its mostly genetics. im only 5'7ish while my brother is 6'4 at 15 years old same mom diff dads its genetics.

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
