Does Bodybuilding Stunt Growth?

[Dr0g0NP0w3R987]

So From what i understood from the video, Bodybuilding does not effect your height. But is there a link or something that will predict your adult height and is it accurate ?

[reido66]

Im 13, 5'9" and i just lift/curl 40 pounds each arm and sometimes i feel a numbness on my shoulders. Is it stunt my growth? Should i stop?

[Evilcyber]

@reido66 As said in the video, it doesn't stunt your growth. If you feel your shoulders from doing biceps curls, you are using too much weight.

I'm 14 years old... I'm 5'10" tall. I weigh 160lbs. and I bench 160lbs with a spotter. I go up 2 the weight room whenever I can... everytime I'm up there my friends push me 2 go for a new max bench press. but I've gone from 135lbs when i was a 7th grader, 2 160lbs as an eighth grader, and my eighth grade year has just started, if I keep this up will I stunt my growth?

[Evilcyber]

@SureShot19971 If you watched the video you know the answer that it doesn't.

[SureShot19971]

@Evilcyber ya didnt watch it lol the guy sounded weird so i was like nah

[Mrhamburgerable]

im only 6'2 and 15 and i know a guy who is 6'6 and both his parents are average height 5'9 and 5'5. explain that...

[yungCra23]

@Mrhamburgerable Yeah, I'm 5'9 and 14 and suppose to get 6'1 or 6'2 but my mom is 5'6 and my dad was 5'8. And i have friends that are suppose to get 6'4 and their parents are 5'9 and 5'4. they re both 14 and 5'10 now

[Evilcyber]

@WTSMiniEvenniaLOL In my opinion the body gets used to it if you do one thing to long. No matter if it's going to failure, doing drop sets or pyramids. Mixing it up once in a while keeps things fresh and your body engaged.

[Evilcyber]

@WTSMiniEvenniaLOL No, from what you say that is very unlikely. I just wouldn't go to failure all the time, because the body gets used to it and you may limit your gains.

free hundred bones!! teehee

[hellomoto170]

wow, this really is a super video! I am 16 and 5 ft 7 and really want to grow a few more inches at least so wasn't sure whether to start going to the gym or not. I have watched many videos but this is by far the best, thanks!

[hitman5y]

THE best

Hello evil, thanks so much for this video. I hate the myth that bodybuilding stunts growth.

But what do you think of doing powerlifting, i.e. very heavy 3x3 routine, so 3 sets of 3 reps with good form?

Also i hate steroids but i got a question, the steroids you talk about release hormones in the body, and all these hormones are usually there telling your body "you are an adult now". But are the steroids not the same hormones as the ones released when you do a workout. Do you get where im coming

[Evilcyber]

@pkhamidar2com If you keep really good form and have a qualified coach with you, then powerlifting per se in my opinion isn't bad. It is not stunted growth I worry about with powerlifting, but safety.

As for steroids: that is a really good question! Yep, you may release hormones during your workouts, but they are miniscule compared to what a dose of steroids would bring to your body.

[GanzLONDON]

You forgot to mention TO WORK OUT all your body not only your biceps or your pecs.

Great Video ! Thanks !

[Evilcyber]

@GanzLONDON You are right; I just wanted to give those as examples.

[HorridFroth]

How old are you, EC?

[Evilcyber]

@HorridFroth My mind is senile, I dress like twenty and act like ten - draw your conclusions :)

[HorridFroth]

@Evilcyber - 42?

[whatsolomon]

I expected a short answer but you gave detailed interesting information, even included related/follow-up questions. Nice.

[Evilcyber]

@whatsolomon Thanks man! I believe in giving people enough background information and resources that they can form their own opinion.

[CsMonstruM]

Love your vids ! ;)

[Evilcyber]

@CsMonstruM Thanks man! :)

[merlachner]

basically weight training is benifical to teens when done correctly with propper form and nutrtion. it could potentailly be useful in sporting situations as when children start puberty growth can cause some slight clumsyness as the body is being changed in a way it is not used to. weight training also helps neurological development and propreoception. making them move more efficinatly.

[Evilcyber]

@merlachner Absolutely!

[runescapeclassicable]

hat if grandparents and parents..

one is taller other is short.. ??

[Evilcyber]

@runescapeclassicable Hm, you might end up somewhere in the middle ;)

[ameenuk2000]

@Evilcyber My grandfather was very tall and grandmother was short. they had 7 children 3 of them really tall and 4 of them short.

[Evilcyber]

@ameenuk2000 A statistician would approve ;) Seriously, given that, the chance for you going either way should be 50:50.

[imtonasty]
