Although this is random and a little off topic I still thought id put it out there. Is the old story of weights stunting your growth false? Most people ive trained with have assured me it is nothing but a myth. But seing as im 17 and 5 foot 5-6 and have lifted weights while I was younger around 14 and 15 im beggining to wonder if its true. My dads 5'9 and both my parents outgrew both of theres. The only reason this is an issue is for me is the fact that im a fighter, alot of fighters are shorter and are really good but still I spar with guys that are between 5'10 and 6'3 so the reach issue is quite frustrating.

Anyway im not holding my breath here lol but if anyone knows something they can share with me about I would appreicate it.
