Did Heavy Weight Training Affect My Height?
Hey I have just turned 20 this past summer and I've been the same height at 5'10 since I was 13. I have a brother thats a year younger and now he is 6'3 and he surpassed me when he turned 13. I did heavy weight training at 13, could that have impacted my height?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are already 5'.9"Why do you worry about your height, of course your brother may be 6'3"but it may be due to genetic factor, and not due to the weight lifting.
To be frank you can't grow taller, try to improve the general health so that you may look healthy, and even full.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
