A member asked:
Is it actually true that body building will stop my height growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but . . .: At 41yo, you should've stopped getting taller 2 decades ago. So if you're still growing in height, go see your doc about possible acromegaly or similar disorder. For most teens, exercising should not affect potential adult height. In other words, that's one less excuse to not exercise.
