Standing Calf Raises and Dumbbell shoulder press

[Skyliner]

I'm 18 years old this year, and recently in the gym some 'expert' says that if a person has not reach above 18 and has the potential to grow taller still, by doing Standing Calf Raises or Shoulder Dumbbell Presses will stunt his growth and make that person shorter or prevent him from growing anymore taller. Is that true or just a false rumour?

Definitely false.

Ask this expert why these exercises will stunt your growth (in his opinion!), and post the answer for us!
I'm just curious to see if they have some "logical" reason for saying this, or if they are just repeating a myth.

------------------
Just because the majority believes it, does not make it true!
