I am 19 years old , my height is 5" 8" ,weight 65, everyone in my family is tall , my brother and my father is 6 ft and my sister 5" 7" . I am the only short person in my family. I want to join a gym for body building , will this stop my height growth ? Upto what age can I expect my height to grow ? What exercises can I do at gym which does not stop my height growth . Can I expect my height to grow even now or should I join the gym freely . I don't have much beard may be because my puberty is not over . Please help.

Yes, I would advise you not to join gym till you attain full height growth. Indulge in lot of swimming, stretching exercises. You can do jogging, play football, badminton etc for better development of height and weight.
