RE: How effective is weight lifting for helping growth?
I guess weight lifting could be good, but don't do it to the point where you break your growth plates.

you can fracture them, same way you break a bone. But I dont think anyone would try to lift so much weight that it would break their bones.

they are cartilage stores at the end of long bones. they ossify when you stop growing. you could damage these cartilage, but i dont see how you'd break it by compression. maybe if an elephant sat on your shoulders. but that'd break all your bones. lol.

weight lifting produces tons of HGH, which of course can make you grow taller. "Weights make you shorter" is just a myth unless you do 200 lbs squats. And normal weight lifting doesn't make you buff, instead it tones your body and helps you keep a higher metabolism level(which means you can't gain weight that easily)

If you've built your way up to 200+ then your body would be more adapted to holding that weight and wouldn't compress as much, but even so the compression will be temporary and resolved during sleep. 25 November 2009 Age: 16 I am a body builder here to discuss height growth.

RE: How effective is weight lifting for helping growth?
I believe that weight lifting is good for growth, but with al those examples you are making yourself ridiculous. There are a lot examples of short bodybuilders too, so what's the point.
In every sport you have tall and short people! Age: 16 Height: 5'10' Goal: 6'3' I'm sure I'm going to achieve my goal!
