Hey, I'm 15, and I'm just unter 5'7. I know that I come from a reasonably short family, but it would really help for me to find out - does bodybuilding stunt your growth?
Every specialist that my family knows as friends all say that the muscles tighten, and impend bone growth, but every internet site says the opposite and I genuinley have no idea
I do also bear in mind that exercises like BB Squats literally compress your spine, so I try to avoid it as much as possbile, for example, I train my calves on a leg press machine.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated

wow thanks guys, and for getting back so quickly.
In answer to calves on a leg press machine, you basically pivot your ankles on the base of the plate - just look on google
Okay thanks for that, I always thought the idea of stunted growth was redicioulous, and I don't do any weights that are obscenley heavy haha.
