    I remember I started lifting when I was going into 8th grade. I was about 5’4 at the time. At 23, I stand around 5’9 (just over 5’9 in the morning). My dad is 6’2 and my mom is 5’4.5-5’5, my sister stands around 5’7”. What’s weird is I have grown since I was 18 by about 1.5”. I think my height has been mostly genetics, due to my grandpa on my mom’s side being about 5’7 (Eastern European). I think I was going to be in the 5’9 range anyway due to that being the average between my parents. It is what it is.
    Btw I wear a size 11 shoe and have a wingspan of 72 inches.

    "Stunts your growth, shrinks your p*nis, all your muscle turns to fat if you stop training even for a brief period, if you're not careful you'll accidentally get far to big, men will want to fight you if you get muscular" are just some of the utter B.S things people who couldn't be arsed to train & had no idea of what they were talking about used to spout at me when I started lifting at the age of 13, thirty odd years ago.

  • @SirCharles913
    @SirCharles913 Рік тому +3

    It's not weightlifting itself it's how heavy and intense you go. The more heavy and intense you go it causes the body to trigger an early production of testosterone leading to premature fusion of the growth plates and leading to an early growth spurt. In order for the body to keep up with the intensity it needs androgens. Meaning you do lose inches as a result.

      @@jbf1734First of all I would go for an x-ray to see if your growth plates are still open if you can. It just depends on how long you've been training for and how heavy - intensive your doing your training and your genetics and your hormonal structure will be a factor. Watch your diet as well and make sure you eat well and don't neglect your meals. Feed your body with good nutrition.

      Litteraly false. Estrogen closes the growth plates, not testosterone. Infact testosterone is neccesary for development of bones and also height, more of it doesnt make you shorter, it makes you taller. You are not "losing inches" by weight training. Please stop spreading false information and scaring teens into not weightlifting

    Strength training might be safe, promote injury prevention etc. but still the increased load on the bone that creates the benefits on the first place, may work against the growth plates after a certain point of volume and intensity.

    Maybe it did for me im only 5’10 my dad is 6’2 and mom is 5’9 and cousins are 6’3 and 6’6 …but again I did a drastic diet in grade 9 to lose 30 lbs of fat in 3 months as well as running for one hour and lifting 6 days a week (without much proper training and resting) … I think nutrition and rest as well as genetics and injury prevention are more important to height than early weight lifting overall

      Sometimes genetic mutations and other factors in the womb can make a baby average height or even shorter height even if the parents/family are tall
      And vice versa
      Plus 5'10 isnt even that bad infact thats pretty tall for the rest of the world.
      Even in the US the average height is 5'9.5 so your slightly above average even in the west
      Its more likely you had shittier nutrition and shittier sleep/sleep quality and also the drastic diet and these all contributed to you being slightly shorter or you just got unlucky and got the wrong genes.
      You should get leg lengthening surgery,arm lengthening surgery and clavicle widening surgery then use an inversion table to decompress the spine
      you could add up to 6-10 inches doing this.
      The arm lengthening and clavicle widening is to balance out the proportions so you dont look goofy
