Topic, i am 19 now and wonder if i stunted my growth back then, because i stopped growing at about 5'8 inches tall and my dad is 5'10, mom is 5'2..........i used to just try to find out what my max bench was, doing like 110 pounds (i dont remember how much i weighed back then, but it was impressive to my friends)....so do i have to live with this, or is my final height just natural?

there is no scientific data that supports statements that resistance training stunts the growth of the human skeletal system. just because you are not as tall as your father doesn't mean it was from resistance training or anything else.

Your height is based on your genes. So, your final height will definitely be between 5'2 to 5'10 which you are right now. You're quite tall and most people stop growing at 18, so yeah.. it can be your final height.
