Can weight lifting decrease body growth (height)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: At a listed age of 22, weightlifting is not going to change your height, nothing will. You are finished growing. For those in their early teens that start weightlifting, we encourage them to avoid powerlifting until they have reached their final height.
