You definitely have nothing to worry about as far as working out is concerned. I guess the downside is that you might not grow taller, but it's not because of a little (or a lot) of training.

You're 15! 5ft 10 is an average height for an adult. You haven't grown because you've developed early, you had your growth spurt at an early age, that's all, some people have it at 18, some people at 15. At 12 I was about 4ft 9, at 13, about 5ft 1, by 16 I was 6ft. Even if you don't grow anymore (which is unlikely) you'll still be a fine height. Males can grow until aged 24. What you are at 15 can be as useful as a tool to predict your full grown heigh as what you are at 4. Besides all this, body exercises and light weights are not going to stunt your growth. Heavy resistance training can stunt it, not due to muscle, but due to hardening of the body frame.

Ive heard it can possibly stunt growth but have no proof, you guys heard anything? I didnt do anything ******, just pressups, light weights with high reps etc

no problem, ive only grown one inch since i was 14(remembe how cool it was to be a big kid)and it almost didnt lift until last year(age off 20).

the american average is 5.9 and your 5.10 dont worry.

Nothing to worry about....like someone said before, it looks like you had an early growth spert as 5'10'' is a good height.

I'm about 5' 8'' and have not grown since i was 15. I'm 21 now...so i aint looking to get any taller...just concentrating on fitness.

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.
