No: In fact, it may stimulate release of growth hormone to stimulate growth. Keep exercising. But stretch afterwards.

No: Your height is determined by bone growth and abdominal exercises affect muscular tone, not bone development. Keep up your exercising and stand straight.

A member asked:

I am 22 years old and 6'1 tall. I have been this height since I was 17-18. I read in that some cases, men stop growing for a bit between 16-20, then end up growing a bit more after 21-22. Does a slow growth rate mean my growth plates have closed?
