It is possible that lifting heavy weights during your growth periods can damage the growth plates on the major bones. That is probably not the reason that one brother is shorter than the other brothers. We inherit genes from our families, not just our parents. How these genes cause us to mature and grow is not set so we see many differences between relatives along with similarities.
