Hi everybody!!!

Hi, I am a 13 year old boy and I am 5'4. I play basketball in my school. The problem is that I cannot shoot long distances so my fellow teammates recommended me to "freeweight". Can freeweigts stunt my growth?

I have never heard of such a thing stunting growth. Steroids and other drugs can stunt growth but lifting weights won't do it. I know where I went to highschool the athletes had a workout room with all kinds of weights and stuff and the physEd teacher took all the kids in there throughout the year to workout. If you wanna workout go for it. It is always better to start taking care of yourself at a younger age instead of waiting until you are older. Goodluck on improving your game.
