I've been pumping iron for the past few months..just when i realised i only grew a cm .I only do bench presses and dumbell lifting.Just to bulk up my upperbody. Basically any weight training that occupies a large amount of legs usage..i totally avoid.
When I just turned 17(early 2003) I was around 176..now i'm about 181(late 2004)I grew 5 cm... in 1 and a half years.Is that good?
I've totally quit alcohol for now(at least until i totally stop growing taller) cause doctors says it will help decrease ur growth rate..I sleep quite a lot.Sometimes do jumping jacks when I wake up(does this really help?)I even sit with a better posture just to improve my spinal chord.A bad spine= lose a few inches in terms of growth. And yeah I do drink milk almost everyday. |

Only one of those four links you gave can be regarded a credible source. |

I'm 18,I wanna grow taller.my growth spurt was around 17.Does playing Basketball really helps?I usually play football(soccer).
I wanna grow another 2-3 inches.I'm going to the gym about 2 times a week nowadays, but I'm afraid this might hinder my growth rate.Is this true? |
Are you really this stupid?
Nothing is going to make you grow taller. |

I'd recommend lots of dairy and meat, but at your age it's unlikely to have much of an effect, if any.
I can't believe there are so many people who still believe that old wives' tale about weight training causing stunted growth. The theory used to go that stress on the skeletal system caused by the weight could prematurely close the epiphyses, thereby reducing growth.
The problem with that theory, though, is that everyday activities like running or jumping impose equal or greater loads on the skeleton. For example, the impact force of jumping and landing exceeds, on average, 4-5 times bodyweight. So unless you're squatting 4 times your bodyweight, you're more likely to stunt your growth playing basketball than by lifting weights. Of course, there's no evidence that the skeletal structure is incapable of handling that amount of stress.
The only way sufficient pressure could be exerted on the skeleton to pose any risk whatsoever would be improper technique with very high weight which would result in an injury. Children are at slightly higher risk of injury, especially young children. However, even in the result of injury there is no recorded evidence of stunted growth. Do your research and stop spreading these outrageous rumors:

Come on, what about drinking a tall beer when ever you get the chance?
I've haven't noticed any results yet but, its too early to tell maybe in 10 yrs I'll know definitively. :disbelief |

I think growth hormones given during early teen years can help a little.
But you really don't have to worry - 5'6" here, 20yo. Height doesn't bother me. Now if I could just get my weight above 45 kilos..... |
