Ok that guy is an idiot. It can if you start to early. Jus do light weight with a lot of reps. And like you said, the body weight workouts. Go for it man. That's awsome at a young age. 13 is a perfect age to start
sit ups, crunches build muscles without stunning growth i know that because i do rhythmic gymnastics and we always do these exercises and im 13 too.
pull ups makes you taller
press ups just build muscles
gd luck
For about the hundredth time... Weightlifting does not "stunt your growth". That's a silly old wive's tale that's held on since the 1900s it's nonsense.
No, lifting weights won't stun your growth, anyone who says that is an idiot who doesn't know what they're talking about.
You either gain muscle, gain fat, lose muscle, or lose fat. Those are the only effects of exercise and not exercising. Your height has absolutely nothing to do with it.
It can be a bit unhealthy going to the gym at such a young age maybe wait until your 16 but for now push ups and a stuff like are fine.
Wait there kiddo! better go to play and enjoy your children's life, you can't and you must not being doing those things yet, you still have a lot of time to grow up and be a man, now, you're a child. Believe me.
