yeah, but if you hang off a bar with weights attached to your legs after every workout it will be fine.

>>35368247
No. Bad posture and genetics make you short. Now get to the gym fgt

Some people asked if I grew taller after a bit of exercising.

>>35368430
Better muscle strength adds to good posture.

>>35368247
only when you do the exercises, when you stand back up you'll be back to your normal height

>>35368438
Yeah I know that was it, I obviously didn't actually grow taller. I just said it to make the point that you don't shrink.

good to be careful op. My grandfather once squatted in the army and tried a new max rep.
He couldn't get the weight up man. He's stuck down in the squatting position every since and even gets called a manlet by our neighboors boy jerry.
man fuck jerry, that's why i just do accessory excercises and machine stuff.

heavy lifting can compress your spine. it squished water out of your disks and shortens your spine, yeah.. but it will literally happen even under your own body weight and it goes away once you lay down in bed anyway so who cares

I took 18 months out of college to go COCCOON mode (involved a lot of lifting), and when I got back, several people asked me if I had gotten taller

it's probably worth adding that I only did squats a handful of times over those 18 months, and all in a space of about 1-2 months, so i cant really comment on whether squats make you taller or shorter
