The short answer is potentially... It can lead to hormone fluctuations that bring in the end of puberty faster iirc...
Once epiphysial growth plates in fused ... one cannot grow further, just wider

I didn't start lifting until 15, but was already 6'+ don't know off it effected me, I was taller than my 2 year older brother who did not lift at the time. He ended up about the same height (almost 6'2") but had a late growth spurt at 17- 18 years old. I didn't have a late growth spurt, I did not grow after 16

idk mane, but all i can say is back in highschool (2 years ago) I was 5'11 and 160 and I was powerlifting and fucking my shit up big time so i stopped and started running and doing yoga and bodyweight exercises (i still do bench squat and deadlift occasionally) and now i'm pushing 6'2

You're not going to start lifting until 2027?

There isn't enough empirical evidence to support that letting students growth. As long as you are doing the forms correctly you have nothing to worry about.

Anyone telling you otherwise is believing old wives' tales.

Yes, but you can counter the effects by hanging from the top of the power cage and whispering 'grow grow grow' between sets

Theres 2 young twins that have been lifting at my gym. Long story short one took my advice and one didnt(at first) the one who listened ate a ton and was not only fitter but also started becoming slightly taller than his twin. Eventually after many months the second twin started bulking up and started to cacth up to his brother in height.

Basically if you ate right and lifted you should be fine based on my experience.

no it doesn't and here's real science and it's in the sticky that fat women needs to be shot if she's a medical professional which she most likely isn;t

in fact, people who don't read the sticky should be banned along with r9k tier threads

Not at all. Lifting heavy Squats and deadlifts compresses the spine but that's just temporary. The generally recommend guidelines is that children and teens who exercise and do resistance training are healthier, stronger, and have high bone density. Although there's not much evidence to say it's dangerous it's generally not recommended for children/teens to max out though

Not at all

In fact bulking while you are a teen would help you get more height

I basically fasted for all my teens because i was bullied for being fat as a child (i was the tallest and fatter one, and a pussy too), and i never got taller after hitting 5'8 at 13 years old
