Q&A: Did I stunt my growth by weight lifting?
Question by rYe gUy: Did I stunt my growth by weight lifting?
my dad is 5’9 and my mom is 5’2, my brother is 22 and 5’11
I started lifting 15 and 20 pd dumbells in my bedroom when I was 11 with sandals on late at night and did situps in my bed.
I am about the same height I was when I started high school (5’7-> now I’m 5’9). and have only gained about 5-15pds.
I was 5’5 at 14 and 5’7 at 15 and now am 17 and 5’9, I wear a size 12.5 shoe and my armspan is 5’11 exaclty. I have a long torso and really stubby legs. My bone age is 19 according to an endocronoligist but my dad who is a doctor seems to think that when I broke my wrist twice, that gave a misread. I have alot of hair all over my body and my dad thinks that I might have gone through prec-coius puberty? what happened to me?! my growth chart says that I was supposed to be 6’1 according to how I grew from age 2-15. It seems like all of my friends are outgrowing me (one was 5’5 in 9th grade and is now 6’1 as a junior). All of my friends used to be shorter than me and are now huge in comparison…WILL I EVER GROW TO MATCH MY HUGE FEET, HANDS, ARMS AND TORSO? OR IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME THAT CAN BE CORRECTED???
HELP!
