Does weight training stop me from growing?

Question

I am 17, I started doing weight training one and a half year ago. Starting lifting 10 lbs dumbell.
Now I do 15 lbs, and I discover that I had stop growing since then.
I think 173 cm is too short as a man....
Did my training stop me from growing ?? Would it eventually shorten my height??

Answer 1

gravity stops you from growing

Answer 2

If you are 17 years old, then you've already reached your adult height. If you were 12 years old and weight training, then you'd possibly would stunt your growth. My son was playing high school varsity football at 16 which included weight training and he is 6' tall. How tall you are depends on your family's genes and thier avg. height. When my dad was in practice, (he was a pediatrician) he would tell the parents if they wanted to know how tall thier kids would be is to take the height at the age of 2 and double it. He was never wrong.

Answer 3

if you would have started at 10years old it would have.
but doing lite weight the way you have will not and has not
173 is average for a 17 year old you are not done growing yet
all you did was tone yourself
