muscle possibly stunting growth?

[PunchDrunk]

Good question but your allready tall man. If im 17 and im 5"9 tall, would this likly be the height im goona be for the rest of my life and my growing is done? I dont lift weights either.

You might grow and inch or two, but I doubt it.

If you develop the wrong sort of muslce at a young age (really bulky muscle from weights) then it can have an effect on your growth. But, in your case and from the exercises you've been doing I'm guessing its just like everyone else says, an early growth spurt.

1. Stunted growth has nothing to do with bulky muscle whatsoever, it's the growth plates in your bones the can be damaged.

2. Getting bulky muscle from weights as a kid is very difficult (bordering on impossible) unless there's something biologically abnormal about you,concerning testosterone levels and stuff like that.

The growth plates in your bones are damaged.. therefore it does stunt your growth..

That has nothing to do with your muscle.

As far as I know strong core muscles are only a good support for your bones. But I am looking from purely injury prevention standpoint.

man y'all think you have it bad, I am 5'5 and I haven't grown since I was 15- I am 18 now. Now that sucks.....

the thing about boxing tho, is you can be any height, and as long as your weight is relative you can fight
but for other stuff i guess being short may be annoying. i dunno, some women must go for short guys if that helps
