You run the same risk for stunting your growth playing tee-ball...so in essence, no it won't stunt your growth.

i doubt it...my friends 14, he works out and weightlifts, and hes 5'8. if u think about it, running is worse than weightlifting because of the pressure on ur legs...and that doesnt stunt growth

Absolutely not! David Robinson trained with weights in his early teens and he was still growing as a Naval Officer. A question of intensity? Still NADA! Lou Ferrigno started at 15, and he grew to be 6'5" (taller than most of his family). My concerns with a 14-year old training with weights would be to follow sound advice from a professional trainer (avoid the hype) and to maintain strict form, even if it means lighter weights at the risk of ego (avoid the injuries). Happy lifting!

I do not think so. One of my boyfriends began barbell training about the time of his 15th birthday. Three years later, he had gained 60 lbs. of muscle. I would hardly call that stunting his growth. He now weighs 304 lbs.
