does working out stop your growth spurt?

yep.  It stalls your growing taller when you are young.

No, it doesn't do anything to muscle growth.  Your body builds muscle on proteins.  What happens is when you work out, you tear your muscles (in a good way).  Your body then builds the muscle back up stronger using proteins.  thats why it is important to have protein when you work out.  The only way to lose muscle  is when your body start depleting it (getting sick, not working out ) etc.  There is no outside force that will deplete muscles.

Yes, any exercise that can loosen muscles helps to prevent "shrinking" and may even promote growth.  Shrinkage can be caused by compacted cartilage and/or gravity. If your muscles are tense it aides gravity in compacting your spine and joints. By stretching (doing yoga) your spine, joints, and muscles are relaxed and does not compact your body and may allow your body to expand. This is the same reason why you are taller in the morning than in the evening. When you are lying down gravity is not impacting you body in the same way as when you are standing, your relaxed body is allowed to expand.

Working out does not increase testosterone levels... hence it does not increase hairloss.  Testosterone levels are controlled by your pituitary, the master gland of the body.  Weightlifting does not effect hormone secretion in any way... it merely makes muscle cell hypertrophy (enlarge) to accomodate for the extra work demanded by them.\n\nNow taking anabolic steroids... that will increase hair loss!

No, yoga doesn't make you grow...when you hit around 18 or so you've done about all the growing (vertically) that you are going to do...\n\nYoga does stretch you out though, so after enough of it you may notice a slight height increase because your spine and muscles are lengthened (pilates can do that too) but it won't be an extreme change...\n\nYou cannot grow taller...when you hit your max height that's it...as you age, you will typically get shorter actually...

actually, believe it or not, lifting weights will stop your growth. If you exercise alot different chemicals/nutrients will stop helping YOU grow and start helping your muscles grow... I would wait til you were at the height you want to be!  =)

Depending on your age, you will see many growth spurts until you are around 18-20 years of age. Just be patient! It's all a part of growing up!

Absolutely not!\n\nMen keep growing until about the age of 21.  Avoid smoking because that stunts your growth, eat well and be positive!  There are always shoe lifts!!!!

Yes it natural every one matures at a different pace. it also can be faster if you are larger in body mass.

Doctors say you stop growing at 21, but this isn't true for all people (I stopped at 13)

depends. Are you athletic? And since your still growing your body might be taking in extra pounds for growth.

hit the gym HARD 5-6 days a week, but you have to have at least one day of rest to allow muscle growth.  if you overtrain, you won't bulk up.  you have to work out regularly, if it's sporadic it won't work.

See i started weight training at the age of 15 and it did not affected my growth at all. when i started it i was around 5.4 tall but now i am 19 years old with 5.9 height so don't worry go ahead. but remember on thing if you are doing weight training then you will now have to do it whole of your life. If you leave it in between you will gain very heavy weight as you skin and mussels will become lose.

the best advice that I can give you is to get plenty of sleep,eat right and exercise.your body will do the rest.but truly some people stop growing before they are 20 unless it runs in your family to have a growth spurt at a later age.good luck to you

Yes if you eat protein, it can help you grow muscles. To grow taller if you are still growing, eat lots of different foods.

It depends on where he got it and what brand. I've aken HGH on separate occasions and they do work, but a couple of things...one is you have to work out for more than a week to see results..and two is you still have to put in alot of work in the weight room. I think alot of people assume it will build you up faster if you work out a little. The more you work out, the faster you will see a difference.
