It's only when people use steroids does it affect your height. Other than that, lifting weights won't do anything.

Lifting weights is great to build muscle. Just like anything else, don't over do it.

Start with 3 sets of reps of 12, 10, and 8, with what ever weight you can complete the 3 sets with.

Do curls, reverse curls, behind the neck curls, squats, bench, etc, to work all your muscles.

After a few weeks, increase the weights.

Dont listen to these jokers. Thats the one thing I hate about this place, everyone is an expert. Do core workouts, like body squats, pull ups, push ups, sit ups. Things that require you to use your whole body and something that you can do 20 plus times. Take Herschel Walker for example, who in my opinion was was of the strongest running backs ever to play the game. His whole career he never lifted a single weight, just pushups, sit ups, and hill runs. Around your age he started with 50 a day, and made it up to 1000 plus every day. Once you get around 18, you can start hitting the weights hards.

Lifting weights does not effect your height. Height depends on genetics. and if you want to eat healthy that can put up to 2 inches on your original height. So lift as many weights as you want.

No way, don't worry about it at all. Lifting weights has no affect on your height, as long as you don't totally obsess over it. Just make sure you stay away from steriods and creatine, and you'll be fine.

If you lift them correctly you can actually increase your height because of the extra release of growth hormone in your body. There are also exercises and methods that can increase your height.
