Answers:
No.. In fact it will make you grow, push ups will increase lean muscle mass in your pectorals, anterior deltoids and triceps..

Along with building muscle, resistance training also increases growth hormone and testosterone..

Don't only do push ups, work you're whole body..

Edit: I can't stress this enough, weight lifting does not prevent you from growing, it will actually make you reach your potential height faster do to release in growth hormone..

also weather your working with weights or just your body weight, it's still resistance training..

It will also increase your bone density..Health Question & Answer
