Question about Height.

[Flawless]

I was just wondering how much you guys have grown since the age of 18 in cms. I want to start weight training and afraid about the myth that it stunts your growth. Is it possible to tell if you have stopped growing and if there is any growth left in you? If your dads is taller than you is it likely that you will grow taller than him.

I am currently 175 cm.

There are lots of myths, however debunking myths does nothing to make them go away. Just stick to old fashioned boxing training and you will get in great shape and you won't have to worry about stunting your growth. Do you remember the Cinderella Man? He kept on growing until he was 30!

if youre 18 theres little/no risk of stunting growth. youve done most of your growing, and provided you are sensible, youll be fine. i started using weights at 14 and havent stunted my growth. just be sensible.
