Will I ever grow again?!


Question: Will I ever grow again.?
I am 15 years old, 5'5 and weigh about 125lbs. My mom is 5'4 and my dad used to be 5'9 (he's old now). I am a very serious weight trainer and most people say that i will stop growing if I keep lifting weights as much as i do. So should I stop lifting weights.? I have not grown not one inch for more than 3 years.If I stop weight lifting, will I get taller.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
That is a myth. Weight training will not stop you from growing.

You will continue to grow. You are only 15. Men continually grow until their early twenties. If you want to know how much then you take a look at your father. If he was 5'9" I highly doubt you will grow any taller than that.

You're young. Give it time. You will likely keep growing.Health Question & Answer

I'm 5'5" and I used to work out all the time. I was supposed to get to 5 7" according to the doctors. Anyway people stop growing at different ages, so 21 may not be true for you. You have to go to the doctor and get an ex-ray and they can tell from the ends of your bones whether or not you will grow anymore. I had stopped growing by 15.Health Question & Answer
