I am 14 year old male. My current height is 5 foot 4 inch, will push ups, bicep curls, and many different forms of push ups stop my height? I have been told that push ups can stop height as my chest muscles will get stronger and tighter, due to which muscles may not get stretched as I grow. I have also been told that push ups have stress on spine. Is this true? Will push ups stop my height?
