Nope. It's a myth. In fact, regular exercise during one's growing years actually promotes the production of growth hormones. Height is predominantly decided by your genes. Pullups are the best bet to do what little you can to increase your height. Or if thats too difficult, simply hang from a bar.

hey if you are below 15 years. and if you do some right workout. it is little possible to become tall. choose a good gym and take some workouts for best result(straight arm pull over, squat, lot workouts, chin-up, etc)... but if u r above 16 years. " There is no chance to make you tall".

yes and no.\nweight lifting will make your bones grow stronger and denser, and at some ages maybe longer.\nbeing an 18 yr old male you still can and probably will grown until you are 21 or so.\nlifting weights puts extra strain on your bones as your muscles grow bigger, and your bones will grow to adjust to this new change. whether they grow in width, density or length is a variable.\na good rule of thumb is not to do any weight lifting that involves lifting something higher than your shoulders b/c this can injure your back, or stunt your growth.\nany physical exercise, at any age, will improve your bone structure, so i'd say go for it, it definitely wont harm you any even if you dont grow.\ni would consult a trainer at the gym if i were you, and also ask them about resistance training, this can be a good alternative to weight lifting.\nNOTE: this is KEY to growing, you must get enough sleep, optimum hours for growth and healing of a body are 10pm-6am, so if you can be asleep during these hours that will be great. and make sure you eat a balanced diet, and take multi vitamins.\ngood luck

you cant ask that, age is nothing. its all about body shape and build. basically your optimal body wieght. meaning if yuor 5'10" you should weigh a certian amount. and that certian amount you SHOULD wieght should be your average lift. so dont expect a 400lb 5'2" to beable to life 400lb's

You probably will still grow a little bit, but at your height/weight, you are in pretty good shape. Most females don't reach their adult height until they are 18. I was 5'3" as a freshman in high school and I was 5'10" when I graduated.

I'm 5'8 and I wish I weighed 145....lol....you are fine....after you have kids, its normal to be a little heavier than you were before you had kids.....plus girls look better with a little meat on their bones (and it doesn't sound like you have much at 145)....relax!

It depends on the individual. \n\nYour tall, which may put you at a disadvantage for heavy bench, but you're young still. If you take it slowly and try to obtain gains in size and strength in small increments you should do very well.\n\nSome people are naturally stronger than others. You need to eat right and set attainable goals. Work out for you and don't worry about others.\n\nTry for 185 on bench, then go for 200, 225, etc. Don't try too much too fast or you will destroy your joints, elbows shoulders, etc. \n\nIf you want to bench really heavy weight, you need to work out that way. Heavy weight, low reps, lots of rest between sets.\n\nGood Luck

do your approach over and over... and wall squats... they're not fun but they help SOOO much... your quads help amazingly in jumping... and building them up will help out your vertical... believe me... i needed to build up my vert.. and i did mostly these two things and it went from 18 to 23 inches

You still have time. I beleive humans reach their max height at 18. I would be sure to cut back on sugars and caffeine as they are thought to stunt growth.

NO YOU ARE FAT...YOU HAVE AN EATING DISORDER.   BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!!!  I THOUGHT I WAS FAT WHEN I WEIGHED 88 LBS AND I AM 5'4".

It depends on your epiphyseal plate in your bones.  If they haven't sealed then there is still room from growth.  Some people are late bloomers, so drink you milk and eat your vegetables.  If you are female, then you have probably hit your maximum height by now, so go out and buy a nice set of heels.

I do think you are tall.I'm not sure if you will keep growing but I do know one of my male cousins stayed at 5'8" until he was 18-20 when he grew a few more inches to 6'.
