QUOTE If you don't know what sarcasm is, I suggest you look it up. Bottom line, you're not going to become a midget. - by -DanI searched for the meaning also I dun really get it leh  , mind explaining here? Regarding the height, I'm 15 and 156cm. My parents are short so there's a high chance I won't grow too tall, that's why I dun wanna risk affecting it even more. |

QUOTE(-Dan @ Apr 10 2012, 11:28 PM) Sweet, nice range of weights! Sorry for the late reply again. Actually I dun intend to do heavy weight lifting, just want some muscles on my arm Okay, forget all that. Lifting weights is not going to stunt your growth. Stunted growth is due to damage to growth plates. There's no impact involved in lifting weights. If you lift properly with good form, it may even help you grow that little bit more because it can stimulate the release of growth hormones. You're 15, your hormone levels are gonna get even higher in the coming years, so might as well make use of that and get stronger and fitter. http://stronglifts.com/does-weight-lifting-stunt-growth/ http://skinnybulkup.com/does-weight-lifting-stunt-growth/ If you're worried about your height, there are other things you should be thinking about, instead of the type of exercise you do. Are you eating right? Are you sleeping enough? These things are more likely to have an effect on your overall growth that whether you play football or lift weights.   . So I guess pumping will be enough for me. Regarding other factors, I eat -Oats for breakfast -Mixed rice (got vege and meat la) for recess about 2 or 3 out of 5 days, the other 2 or 3 can be anything.  -Lunch if got other school activities then mixed rice again. If eat at home then bread / maggi mee / leftover food from last night's dinner which consists of meat + vege + rice at least. -Dinner then also same lor meat + vege + rice + others(egg/tofu...) So is it balanced enough? Regarding the amount of sleep, how many hours is enough? I think I have lack of sleep, on weekdays 6 hrs on average. Weekends can be 6-12 hrs. Ok or not?  QUOTE(Aztec @ Apr 10 2012, 11:41 PM) well..to be honest i lifted dumbells overhead to stunt my growth last time..did it for maybe 3months when i was in form 2 or 3.. I heard many people said that long afternoon naps are bad for u, any idea why? broscience or not it somewhat worked as i did not grow that much after that..maybe it was just coincidence.. im 190cm now..so if u wanna grow tall just sleep alot man..take that afternoon nap after school..i slept from like 3-7pm everyday Added on April 12, 2012, 5:59 pm QUOTE(Aztec @ Apr 11 2012, 12:40 PM) about 185 i think 185??
