Hey /fit/. I used to lift when I was 13 years old. I feel like I stunt my own growth, now I am a 20yo manlet. 5'7 is my height now. Lifting produces testosterone in our bodies, and that testosterone hardens our growth plates.

Lifting does not produce testosterone.
Read the sticky or get the fuck out.
cool man :) i hope to hear more !
>>36368464
Does it increase testosterone?
>>36368448
Do you have a brother? How tall are your parents?
>>36368448
> Lifted when I was 14
> 6'3" now
Try again, manlette.
>>36370776
Don't lie to me manlet
>>36370755
My brother is 5'10. My mom is 5'5 and my Dad is 5'8
>>36370728
No. Better diets, sleeping patterns and good mental health increase testosterone production.
Your 13 year old self didn't sabotage you in any way, you turned out the height you were supposed to be, unless you were anorexic or had a genetic disorder from the time of were 13-18
>>36370795
Your brother is a Manlet too you were doomed to begin wit
>>36370795
6'3" 205 lbs, actually a lankette. I had a friend who claimed he never crawled out of manlette status because his parents kept the hallway light on and he never got proper sleep when he was growing - you sound as pathetic as him. Do society, and your children, a favor and just never procreate.

I had a street light directly outside my window as I was growing up, and my room was a tiny attic with slanted ceilings, meaning I had to walk around hunched.
I'm a smidge off 6'2"

>dad was a competitive weightlifter
>send me to gym with 15 years
>mfw 23 now and 6'0
>>36370807
Thanks
>>36368448
>started lifting a year ago
>22yo 5'7 manlet
I probably could have grown some extra 5cm or so if I had always slept and eat a lot, but really, it's all genetics.
>>36370807
Youre fucking stupid. Lifting heavy weights definitely does increase testosterone production
>>36372440
But does it stunt growth?
>>36374625
It fuses the growth plates so yes. Sorry op you would've probably been 5'11, 5'9 at least
I kept my nightlight on at all times growing up as a kid and got to 6'1
feels good
if youre below 6 feet please dont go around spreading your semen everywhere. By 2050 our planet hopes to have manlet seed completely extinct.
>>36374661
Now I feel like shit. Thanks a lot faggot.
>>36374747
Oh sorry let me just lie to you to make you feel better.
Stupid manlet.
>>36374747
Don't listen to that faggot. Yes, you stunted yourself, but not enough to make even a modicum of a difference. You lost maybe 2 centimeters at most.
Once you pass 18, your chances of growing are MUCH less
>>36368448
Also 5'7", OP.
I asked my doc and he said that lifting does not stunt growth, since growth is 99% genetics and 1% nutrition.
>>36374788
What height are you bitch? At least i'm honest :^)
>>36374857
Are you seriously trying to play the height game? Lol
>>36374904
I bet you're a manlet too.
>Lol
how does it feel for you sub 6 footers to know that women arent attracted to you? srs
>>36374966
I'm not the original guy you were talking to so it wouldn't matter
You're a manlet and stupid. im sorry for your unfortunate life
>>36374828
>1% nutrition.
Your doctor is a total bro science nerd than.
Just because it is mostly genetic doesn't mean there isn't a severe hinderance if you're not putting the nutrients in on a daily basis.
Besides effecting your height development, not maintaining adequate nutrition in your teens/early 20s means you will quickly lose height as you get older.
>>36368448
I started lifting in grade 9 because I enjoyed it in gym class. I'm 6'4.
>>36374993
I feel sorry for you for sucking someones dick.
I remember them talking about this in the little Hercules documentary, but I think the biggest concern was that his dad was probably feeding him performance enhancing drugs of some kind, which would increase his testosterone a lot and stunt his growth. Lifting alone probably wouldn't do much.
