Hello everyone I would like to ask that doing gym at an age of 17 and half stunt your heigh?

Question

Hye.
No, exercise does not cause reduced growth.
You need to get into strength training gradually. Very often instructors push you into heavy weights immediately or you yourself get attracted to using heavy weights in the first day itself. This is not right. You need to go one step at a time and also the right technique is crucial. Along with that if your diet is not good and as per your body's needs it can affect your growth.
So, the right progression, technique in exercise and a healthy diet will help you gain good health.
