Re: Does weightlifting stunt your growth

I sorry to bother you with this question cause im sure you have to answer this all the time but i have to kno if weight lkifting stunts your growth. I just turned 16 years old and i am about 5'8 im growing really slow. Ive been lifting for about a year maybe a little bit more. I still havent hit my growth sprint so is it possible that i could still grow.
Could you please email me at ruthlessthugsta@sbcglobal.net. Thankyou for your time.
