Does lifting weights at the age of 20 decrease the chance of height growth? i am 179.5 cms and want to be 183 cms. some tips please.

Done growing: You are at you maximum height at age 20. Lifting weights will not effect your height or the height of an adolescent who is still growing. Be content with your height and focus your energy on things that you can control.
